Green Tip of Month
Surprise dad this Fathers Day with environmentally friendly gifts. For example buy organic, you can by him anything from organic shaving cream to organic chocolate. If dad is a coffee drinker introduce him to organic coffee. If he isn't a fan of the organic coffee get him a personalized travel mug that he can use every morning. By using a refillable mug, he'll reduce waste. If dear old dad has a "green" thumb replace his air polluting gas lawn mower with an electric lawn mower, trimmer or blower.
