Seattle spring brings plenty of showers, so why not raise the temperature in your bedroom to make up for it? Any of Babeland’s events this month will be sure to do the trick.

Eco-Sexy Trivia Night with Grist.org |April 14, 6 p.m., Free: TreeShagger from Grist.org and Babeland team up for an evening of sexy, eco-trivia that will get your temperature up and the Earth’s down, while helping Babeland raise money to support Grist’s important work providing environmental news and commentary. For the second year, Babeland is donating 10 percent from the sale of select eco-friendly toys to Grist. With eco-friendly sex toy giveaways, and complimentary lube samples to the first 25 attendees from Blossom Organics, we think this will be your hottest (and we’re not just talking about global warming) Earth Day yet.
