If you’re married to a guy who cares about the environment, you’re lucky because there are a lot more gift choices out there for Eco Dads.
Every dad needs tees. This cool cotton T-shirt ($30) is made of organic cotton and low impact dyes and it sends a very eco message “Organic Rocks.”
Most Eco Dads aren’t big on leather, so you have to get a bit creative in the wallet department. This one ($42) is made of recycled inner tubes with room for cash and three credit card slots. No two are alike, but they’re all cool.
The next time he tosses a football around or shoots hoops, he’ll be happy to know that his gift is Fair Trade Certified, providing the workers who stitched these synthetic leather athletic balls ($39) with a fair living wage. Even better, the proceeds help at-risk kids.
You can’t get any more Green than Green Toe when it comes to shoes. The uppers on these Loaf Off-Road Slip-Ons ($90) are made of hemp and cotton, the lining is bamboo and the outsoles are made of recycled car tires. They’ll arrive in a recycled box, of course.
If your guy says “I don’t need anything,” I have the perfect gift: membership to The Sierra Club ($25). What Eco Dad could resist helping to protect wildlife and the environment. Members receive Sierra Magazine to keep him up-to-date on environmental issues, discounts on books and eco-travel, and for a limited time, this expedition pack.
