Hud Oberly is a catch. He’s tall, he’s handsome and he loves love. “Being around romance and stuff is fun and exciting,” says the 29-year-old New Yorker, standing in a Manhattan park. “My favorite movies are romantic comedies.”
Oberly’s desire for a partner is only eclipsed by his lust for a more sustainable world, so it’s important that his next girlfriend cares about the climate crisis. That’s why he’s trying Love and Climate, a speed-dating event for environmentally minded singles. “It’s more niche” than dating apps, he says, given that everyone there shares similar beliefs and values.
