What better way to celebrate Dear Old Dad than let him know his kid will live in a healthier world for years to come? Well, there isn’t a better way!
Check out some gift ideas for Pops this Father’s day…It is June 15 in case you need reminding…
- Dads are always mowing the lawn, why not let him save some carbon footprints and get some exercise while he makes his lawn green green green! Cleanairgardening.com offers many options for manual lawn mowers.
- Swinging atop the lawn he just mowed on his new HAMMOCK! This hammock by Gaiam is made of recycled soda cans. Also check out a hemp version handmade by the Tekiah Hemp Co-Op.
- While we are at it, let Dad take out the trash to his new Compost Bin! The Green Machine is easy to spin & provides the perfect environment for decomposition.
Okay, maybe your Dad isn’t into chores when it comes to celebrating his fatherhood. Why not celebrate his favorite pasttime by giving him…
- A pen made from the wooden chairs in his favorite baseball stadium. Unique, provides a conversation in any business situation, and brings in a flood of memories allowing the wood to live forever in a different form.
- Or give him what he really needs after dealing with his kids all day…a drink! Try a sampler set of Organic Beer. Ranging from a pack of 4-10 beers depending on how much grief you have given him over the years.

My dad isn’t one for mowing the lawn, and, although he watches baseball, he doesn’t really have a favorite team, but that organic beer looks like an awesome gift! I may have to get my husband one, too.
I really enjoy your blog, would you be interested in exchanging links?

Good idea for a post Kate! I was thinking about buying a tree for my Dad on Father’s Day. A tree, plant, or herbs are a great present because it’s eco-friendly and it lasts for years to come.
