Father’s Day is just around the corner, and while power tools, aftershave and apparel are often on the gift list. Why not give Dad an eco-friendly gift that also respects Planet Earth? 

Here are a few gift ideas from the environmentally minded folks at Waste Management that will last long after Father’s Day has passed and make Dad feel really special.

  • Breakfast in bed has been typically thought of as a great gift for moms, but dads love it too. A meal served in bed is the sort of treat that everyone loves to receive.
  • A lot of dads see power tools as fun toys for grown-ups. EcoHearth’s Eco Shop may have the tool for him. Made to tackle any project, these tools are eco-friendly too.
  • Perhaps your dad would enjoy brewing his own green beer? With a Brew Organic’s brew kit, Dad can create his own organic formula to sip on while watching his favorite sporting event.
  • Give gifts that don’t require much packaging, such as concert tickets and gift certificates.
  • Bake cookies or other goodies for your dad and package them in reusable and/or recyclable containers as gifts.
