30 Eco-Gifts For Father’s Day
May 28, 2008 by Peggy
To illustrate this post I thought it would be fun to throw in some random “Dad” photos from flickr. You can go to the links to see the products anyway.
All of the gift suggestions are either made from recycled materials or they help conserve or educate in some way. But don’t forget there’s nothing like a homemade meal and simply spending time together.

This is pretty awesome. I hadn’t even started shopping for Father’s Day yet but this list helps me with one of my resolutions to start giving eco-friendly gifts. You should add it to this site that is perfect for list-making and needs more eco-friendly stuff. Check out some of my lists: http://www.thisnext.com/by/hapa_lee/lists/ and tell me what you think. I’d love some feedback.
Hi Kristie. I checked out your lists. I esp. like the Father’s Day and Green Move. Glad you picked a green theme.
I post on similar recycled items at Junk Creation.

Nice list! Thanks for adding the Gaiam products on there. We also wrote an article the other day called The Eco-Friendly Father’s Day Gift Guide. I think between your list here, the one Kristie posted above and ours anyone should be able to find the perfect eco-conscious Father’s Day gift this year: http://life.gaiam.com/gaiam/p/The-EcoFriendly-Fathers-Day-Gift-Guide.html .
