Father\u2019s Day is less than two weeks away (Sunday, June 19). Have you thought about what you\u2019ll do to celebrate?<\/p>\n

Neckties and golf gear are so last century. If you\u2019re looking for a way to celebrate Dad while also staying green, we\u2019ve rounded up some ideas for you. Follow our guide and show your pops how much you love him \u2014 and the planet.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

1. Get Outside<\/h2>\n

If your dad loves to explore new scenic areas, you could head into the fresh air for a hike. There are thousands of short trails<\/a> around the U.S. that you can do in a morning or afternoon. If you\u2019re near a beach, spend a day in the waves or building sandcastles. Go catch-and-release fishing in a nearby river, or toss a Frisbee in the park.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

2. Have an Adrenaline\u00a0Experience<\/h2>\n

Is your dad a work hard, play hard type? Indulge his need for speed while keeping your carbon footprint low. Try a green high-energy experience<\/a> like white-water rafting, zip-lining, rock climbing, or bungee jumping. You\u2019ll get the perfect adrenaline rush while making sure you’re not damaging the environment.<\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

3. Grill Some Goodies<\/h2>\n

Some dads light up best when they\u2019re manning a grill. If this is your pops, help the grill guy go green while you prepare your feast. Hit up a farmer\u2019s market for fresh corn and tomatoes, and stop at the butcher for local, organic meat. When grilling<\/a>, opt for natural gas, propane, or electric. If you\u2019re using charcoal, go with organic charcoal lumps.<\/p>\n

4. Choose the Perfect Eco-Friendly Gift<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s always nice to have something to unwrap (from 100% recycled wrapping paper, of course). We love the timeless style of these\u00a0vegan leather bags by Matt & Nat<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Coen messenger bag<\/a>\u00a0(shown in Chestnut) is great for work. It\u00a0has three interior pockets and a zippered outer pocket for easy access. The\u00a0Phi crossbody bag<\/a>\u00a0(shown in Chili) is the ideal bike commuter bag. Its\u00a0hidden magnetic closure is sleek. But\u00a0our favorite part is the\u00a0canvas straps that allow Dad to attach the bag to his\u00a0bike’s handlebars.<\/p>\n

Socially responsible brand\u00a0Matt & Nat<\/a>‘s signature\u00a0vegan leather is\u00a0super-strong and durable. These bags aren’t\u00a0only ethical, they’re\u00a0sustainable. Even better, all\u00a0linings are made from 100% recycled bottles! That’s about 21 bottles recycled for each bag.\u00a0For a $100 minimum, you also get free shipping to the U.S. and Canada.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re thinking this is a pretty sweet way to say thanks to Dad for being a great guy.<\/p>\n
