Good looks, a sense of humour, education and high income count for zilch these days if you don't eat organic, wear organic and recycle.
To get lucky, you have to think globally and act locally in your day-to-day living.

There was the metrosexual. Then the retrosexual. Now there's the ecosexual. So if one of your goals is to find that special, ecofriendly someone in 2007, check out social-networking communities like Vegan Passions ( veganpassions.com: http://veganpassions.com), Earth Wise Singles ( ewsingles.com: http://ewsingles.com), Green Singles ( greensingles.com: http://greensingles.com) or Green Passions ( green-passions.com: http://green-passions.com). Because two recyclers are better than one.
