Eco-Friendly Father's Day Gift Ideas

Want to show Dad how much you care about him and the environment? Try one of these ecologically responsible Father's Day gift ideas:

Organic Beer Kit

Ideal for the beer lover in your life, these kits are certified organic by USDA National Organic Program by California Certified Organic Farmers. They contain all the ingredients needed to brew the perfect beer - all organic! Better yet, they're quick, with each kit brewing in approximately two hours.

Solar-powered Recharging Bag

Though a bit pricier than the standard briefcase or messenger bag, Juice Bags by Reware are something special. They come equipped with a solar panel on the outside of the bag which serves to recharge the battery of the laptop or other electronic device inside. Each bag comes ready to plug in the car adapter that comes with Dad's cell phone, laptop, digital camera or other such gadget.

Organic Hemp Tie

Go with a green twist on the old standard with an organic hemp tie, like the ones sold at Rawganique. These ties are made using organic hemp that is grown without pesticides or other chemicals. The dyes used in these eco-friendly ties are bleach-free as well.

No Gift At All!

As I wrote in Eco-Friendly Gift Ideas for Mother's Day, try no gift at all - sometimes no consumption is the best thing for the environment. Go for a bike ride. Share a meal you cooked using organic or local ingredients. Plant a tree together. Make something for him using reused or recycled materials that shows just how much you appreciate him.
