This Valentine’s Day, if you’re hoping to find that special someone who will “take actions” with you to make the world, and your love life, a better happier place, I have just the list for you. So here are the 5 best free on-line dating sites for finding that special someone to drink organic free trade hot cocoa with, to make a hemp necklace for, and to send action alerts to. Because, you know what they say: the personals is political.
1. Act For Love is a personals site where you can find the activist– and the cause– of your dreams. After you’re done searching through profiles, you can search through the action center where you will find things like “Less Pink, More Research” take action link, which urges Congress to pass the Breast Cancer and Environmental Research Act. Their motto, which I say after coming up with the title for this post, is “Take Action. Get Action.”
2. Care2.com Singles bills itself as a place to “find others who Care2 make a difference for good causes!” The site is part of Care2.com, the environmentally oriented search engine, forum and directory, with a shopping service that donates a portion of sales to environmental causes. So join for the personals, and stay for the e-mail account, blog, petitions alerts, photo sharing. Plus they have great action alerts and click to donate links, which allow you to donate towards a good cause without paying a cent. All you have to do is click your mouse. So see if there’s anyone you click with on care2.com Singles.
3. Activist Passions is for people “looking for someone who is actively involved in making a difference in the world, and bringing about change through actions.” It links to GreenPeace and Credo. So maybe you can find your own “link.”
4. Veg Connect describes itself as “Free Vegan and Vegetarian Personals -
Make Rad Friends and Meet Awesome Singles.” You’ll find actions like Don’t Be A Milk Sucker and the suprisingly funny pro animal rights and mafia spoof movie Veal: Fughedaboutit. So if you’re a meat eater, you should “fughedabout” this site.
5. Veggie Romance is a good choice for people who can’t commit… to veganism. The site allows vegetarians and vegans: “Whether your diet is fruitarian, vegetarian, vegan, raw food or macrobiotic, you’ll find like minded veggie singles here.” You also get a blog and access to a lively forum whose discussions range from “The animal welfare/rights fraud” to “world day for lab animals.”

But whether you’re single or hitched, you can always take action. So why not sign up for care2.com? And if the video, above, starring Ted Danson as himself, makes you want to
, through Care2.com, you can raise money to protect the ocean from pollutants like mercury. And you don’t have to pay a cent. All you have to do is click your mouse.

Bravo, Katie! You have truly done the world a pubic service, I mean, public service. I see right where your agenda of encouraging all these do-goody two shoes types to pair off is heading; with any luck, some of them will mate and reproduce, populating the planet with more of their do-goody DNA. Diabolically clever!
Kerry TruemanI love it to. I just broke up with my boyfriend! Will wait awhile, then try it out!
