Environmentally Friendly Father's Day Gift Ideas 2024
Posted on by Meg MacKay
This Father’s Day, explore some sustainable gift options for dad that won’t end up in landfills. There are plenty of ways to show appreciation for dad while also being mindful of the planet. Below are a few eco-friendly options that he will love!
SUNSKI eco-friendly recycled plastic sunglasses
“When Sunski first started, a sustainable sunglasses frame material wasn’t available that didn’t sacrifice on flexibility, comfort, or durability. Our goal was simple: develop a sustainable frame material that was indiscernible from the original Sunskis that our customers have come to know and love. So we invented a way to turn post-industrial scrap plastic from the United States into recycled sunglasses frames—our very own recycled frame material. It is unique in the sunglasses industry.”
Bee Hotel from Uproot Design Studio
“This bee hotel makes for modern & sleek upcycled yard decor that's also the perfect nesting habitat for native bees! Native bees are gentle solitary bees with extraordinary pollinating abilities -- 2-3 times more than a honeybee! They're very unlikely to sting, and will help any gardens or wildlife around you flourish, while you help save the pollinators so crucial to our food supply.
Plus, your order plants a tree + 10% of profits go to local farms, wildlife & environmental justice organizations!”
Fair Trade Polo from Fair Indigo
“Too often, the idea of sustainability treats human beings as afterthoughts. For us, they are front and center. If organic clothing is priced too good to be true, it's likely because the well-being of garment workers was overlooked. We pay our artisans and operators fairly and create a supportive work environment, providing the means to a healthy, happy life. It's the only way to build a truly SUSTAINABLE business. And a better world”.
Fellowship Cork Wallet
“Here is a piece of nature for your pocket. This cork wallet is a refined accessory for your everyday needs with a bifold structure, 8 card slots, interior pocket inserts, and a cash compartment. Made from vegan, hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, waterproof, lightweight, durable, biodegradable and recyclable natural cork”.
Black&Decker Compost Bin
“Reduce waste with the BLACK+DECKER® countertop compost bin. It also looks good while doing it. Made from stainless steel, the silver bin mixes well with any decor and discretely holds food scraps until you're ready to transfer them to an outdoor compost area”.
As we celebrate the father figures in our lives this year, let's extend our appreciation beyond just the day by making choices that positively impact our planet. By selecting sustainable and eco-friendly gifts, we contribute to a healthier environment while offering unique presents that may inspire others to begin their green living journey.
