## **_Timberland Love survey finds outdoor dates, eco-behaviors attractive – just_** _don’t_**_ pick up your date on a bicycle_**

There’s a love survey by [Timberland](https://www.timberland.com/) shows more than
three-quarters of Americans find eco-minded tendencies attractive in a mate. But
don’t take it too far; being eco-extreme. Turning on your date could be as simple
as turning off the lights. 

Timberland, a [company](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/08/fresh-wave-say-goodbye-to-unpleasant-odors-in-your-home/)
dedicated to protecting the outdoors and outfitting people in eco-conscious gear,
surveyed more than 1,000 people to find out how important green behaviors are when
it comes to finding – and keeping – true love. Here are highlights from the Timberland
Eco-Love Survey:

### Taking the environment for granted and you could be flying solo: 

 1. **Attracting a green-minded mate****:** More than three-quarters (77%) of Americans
    find eco-minded behaviors an attractive quality in a mate. Specifically, spending
    time outdoors (57%), being eco-minded around the house (50%) and practicing conscious
    consumption (30%). For they love the top eco-qualities Americans say make a person
    attractive.
 2. **What to wear when you land the date:**** **Sport sustainable style. Nearly one-
    third (30%) of Americans are attracted to people who consider the environmental
    impact of the products they buy. That’s including clothing.
 3. **Love blossoms best in the great outdoors**: More than half (54%) of Americans
    said an outdoor adventure, like a hike or walk in the park, is an ideal date, while
    nearly one-quarter (23%) selected tree planting or other projects to improve the
    environment.

Timberland’s love mission is to equip people for their outdoor experiences. Especially
in ways that are easier on the environment. That was said by Jim Davey, Vice President
of Global Marketing at Timberland. “But apparently, eco-conscious gear can equip
you for a better love life as well.”
