Green Gift Guide: Father’s Day

A friendly reminder that Father’s Day is coming up this Sunday, June 16th! If you’re looking for a last minute gift idea, we’ve got some great, green options for the dad (or gift giver) with an environmentally conscious mindset.

Give the gift of a greener, cleaner planet! Find our Father’s Day Green Gift Guide, below:

- Contribution to a Local Green Project, “Adopt a ____” Program, or Local Eco-Friendly Initiative: For the truly green guru, a gift that gives back can be a wonderful gesture, and the perfect option for last minute shoppers. A membership to a worthy conservation organization is another unique option worth considering.

- Eco-Friendly Grilling Tools or a Hybrid Grill: Is dear dad a master griller? Update your family’s old, inefficient (and environmentally damaging) coal grill for the latest and greatest hybrid or electric model. A great way to cut down on dad’s carbon footprint and help reduce your family’s effect on climate change!

- Green Gadgets: A tablet can be a wonderful way to cut down on paper waste from newspapers, magazines, books, crossword puzzles… the list goes on and on! Check out this helpful review of the most popular tablets of 2013. Here are a few more green gizmos that may be good options for the tech-savvy dad.

- Eco-Friendly Camping Gear: For the outdoorsy, there are a number of eco-friendly/organic brands that specialize in camping gear with a low carbon footprint. Eco-friendly options are available in everything from tents and sleeping bags, to the smaller items like portable stoves, specialty clothes for camping, sunscreen, and insect repellent.

- Organic or Local Beer or Spirits: That’s right, even dad’s favorite beverage comes in organic form. Try to buy from a local brewery or distillery, if possible, or order online to cut back on carbon emissions.

- Organic Coffee: Give dad another reason to enjoy his daily cup of java – eco-friendly style!

- Organic/Vegan Monthly Snack Box Subscriptions: A quick search online will lead you to a number of eco-friendly, organic, or vegetarian/vegan monthly snack subscriptions that dad can enjoy all year long.

- JustGreen Family Membership: Carbon offsets can help your family lower your carbon footprint, as well as contribute towards solutions to global warming and climate change. For less than a cup of coffee a day, the JustGreen Family Membership is a wonderful option for any eco-conscious dads out there!
