'Eco-sex' asks: How green is your love life?
'Eco-sex' asks: How green is your love life? | MNN - Mother Nature Network
Jenna?
You drive a hybrid, eat organic, and are passionate about recycling. But how green is your love life?
Think about those lovely Valentine's Day roses and the environmental costs of growing them and the carbon miles involved in flying them in from faraway lands.
And what about used condoms, tossed into the toilet and making their way into sewers that perhaps pollute the ocean?
If an ecologically sustainable life between the sheets hasn't crossed your mind, you're still a "total environmental neophyte," according to author Stefanie Iris Weiss.
But help is on the way with Weiss's new handbook Eco-Sex, which leaves no stone unturned in its mission to bring the bedroom front and center into the battle to save the planet. "I have always wanted to write a sex book. I am a very committed greenie, and I have been a vegetarian for 20 years. I saw a gap in the market and I couldn't believe no one had written about this topic," Weiss, 38, told Reuters.
"I think green sex is having its moment right now. I think it is the next big thing in green. People are realizing that their everyday, most intimate habits, are deeply connected to this horrible crisis we are in," she said.
Eco-Sex will land on retail bookshelves on March 31 by Ten Speed Press.
From hand-cranked sex toys (and Web sites where old battery-driven devices can be recycled) to healthy, eco-friendly underwear (bamboo) and dating sites for ecological warriors, Eco-Sex aims to show readers how to reduce the carbon footprint of their love life — and have fun doing it.
Seriously?Do not war for peace. If you must war, war for justice. For without justice there is no peace. -me
We are who we choose to be.

If it was really green, it would have come out as a e-book....

I tell them to use this little test before they decide to do something. If they were to do what they're thinking about, and it became the lead story on the six o'clock news, would they be proud? Would their department be proud, and would their family be proud? It's a simple way to live your life both personally and professionally.

You just beat me to my post, except I was going to toss down the fur of a clubbed baby seal in the back to do it on. Originally Posted by pgg

Bamboo sheets are actually very soft, so I'd imagine the underwear would be soft as well. Originally Posted by Cidp24

When I bought them I honestly gave no thought to the fact that they're made of bamboo, I just liked the way the fabric felt.

I wonder if she's addressing all the hormonal contraceptives that are flooding the water supply after women urinate?
