(3BLMedia/theCSRfeed) November 30, 2010 - What do you get an EcoAware Dad for the Holidays? Well, according to a new consumer trend report by EcoFocus Worldwide called Making Way For EcoAware Dads!, hybrids and fuel efficient vehicles top the list of things wanted by over 40% of EcoAware Dads to make their homes and lifestyles more green or eco-friendly. And, if you are really feeling generous, right behind vehicles is energy efficiency, with tankless water heaters and solar panels on the shopping list for 38% of EcoAware Dads. While many have already made these upgrades, 30-33% still have water efficient appliances/clothes washers and energy saving window treatments on their wish list.
Before you wrap up those electronics are on your holiday list, make sure you check for green credentials. EcoAware Dads want green or eco-friendly computers (52%) and cell phones (49%). When you are putting toiletries in the stocking, remember that 55% of EcoAware Dads want soaps, shampoos and deodorants that are eco-friendly.
