EcoDater is about creating connections between people. We think people want to naturally find each other and share their interests and passions. We see it all the time – at music festivals, in churches and temples, in nightclubs, campsites, classrooms and in each other's homes, people are seeking out and participating in their own communities all the time.
We believe that connection is the natural force of our world. From the neural networks in our brains to the bits and bytes that whiz around the digital network, connectivity is everywhere. Natural examples abound - the network of roots under a tree, the network of rivers and streams that trickle down to the oceans, the network of peaks and valleys of our planet's mountain ranges. The founding principles of EcoDater are to honor the natural beauty of networks and to use them in bringing people together.
EcoDater is primarily a dating site and a for-profit enterprise. But we believe that the only responsible way to make money in this world is to do it for the betterment of the community in which we all live and function. And dating is one of the wonderful ways in which we connect and find each other. The people we meet during our dating days are some of the best teachers we'll ever have, and one of them will be our partner for life.
We're a place for friends too. After all, meeting someone new is an opportunity to meet a new friend, no matter what form that friendship takes. And what makes EcoDater special is that we already all have something in common – a love of the natural life, the eco-friendly life. EcoDaters care deeply about nature, and they find strength, solace and companionship in others who do too.
The EcoDater.com website is our home online. The internet is one of humankind's greatest gifts to itself and EcoDater is one of many examples of how it can be harnessed in a positive way. We're starting off modestly, but we will stay involved every small step of the way, every day working to make the site serve its members better. We will listen to you, the members of our community, and give you a voice in making EcoDater work better for you.
We have a lot of great ideas and plans for the future, and we'll open them up for discussion on the EcoDater blog. If there's anything you want to know beyond that, we invite you to ask us anytime via email or by posting a blog comment.
With participation comes responsibility, and we are always working to ensure the safety of our members. EcoDater is not a community for everyone - some people may stand back and just observe, and some may even try to find ways to undermine the principles of our community. But through your active participation and our constant vigilance we can maintain and enrich the EcoDater community as it matures. If you ever see anything on the site or in interacting with other members that just doesn't feel right, please let us know right away.
We created EcoDater because it represents the best of what we see and experience in this world – community, connectivity, friendship, and a respect for the natural life. It's our modest but noble effort to make a positive impact on people's lives, and to leave this world a little bit better than how we found it.
Welcome to the EcoDater community... you're among friends.
