Each of us has one biological father. Add all of the fathers in the US up and there is an estimated 64.3 million father's across the nation. With numbers like that, it's hard not to get excited about using Father's Day as a way to introduce sustainable lifestyle choices to our Fathers. At its essence, a sustainable lifestyle, or living green, refers to a lifestyle and set of choices that minimizes a person's environmental impact. While living green embraces sustainability concepts of efficiency, organics, waste management, and so forth, the mindset is more important than the eco actions. Why? Because life is dynamic. As expressed in our eco friendly training, applying sustainability concepts one way today may not be the sustainable solution of tomorrow. Your life circumstances change so it's in your approach to life that matters.
But, the trick is to actually get people started in living a sustainable lifestyle so that their approaches can take root and evolve. For Father's Day, why not plant some thoughts of eco awareness in your gifts and watch them sprout a more sustainable lifestyle.
Looking for gift ideas? As suggested in our eco friendly consulting, look for gifts that introduce sustainability concepts and eco awareness. Here's a start:
Dad, the car lover:
• Check out waterless car wash products
• Sell Solar Tire Pressure Gage
Dad, the sports enthusiast:
• Eco Friendly Golf Gear
• Klean Kanteen to stay hydrated
• Organic Pool Towels
Dad, the Techie:
• Solar backpack
• Solar patio lights
• Eco Friendly Water powered clock
• Kill a Watt, Electricity Usage Monitoring Power Strip
Dad, the Chef:
• Green Grilling
• Bamboo kitchen tools
• Organic Beer
Remember to not only give a gift with eco awareness, but share why that gift reduces the environmental impact, is more efficient, or how it helps contribute to a sustainable lifestyle. The reason behind the eco action is the fuel that keeps the eco actions going.
