Green Days: The Jolly Green Dad

GREEN DAYS: THE JOLLY GREEN DAD
ENVIRONMENTALIST HEATHER WOLFSON HELPED TURN HER MAN INTO A LEAN, GREEN,
ECO-FRIENDLY MACHINE. HERE, SHE TELLS YOU HOW YOU CAN DO THE SAME,
JUST IN TIME FOR FATHER'S DAY.

HE WEARS IT WELL
There’s nothing more exciting than to see your hubby go green—from head to toe. On a typical sunny Arizona day, Jack is outfitted in the best organic threads from Twig & Twill, aka my fabulous eco-friendly boutique where dads (and their family members) can snap up great 100 percent organic cotton tees from companies like Green Label. Complete with sayings like “BioDiesel,” “Insatiable” and “Live Green or Die,” these message-touting tees definitely make a statement. Bonus: Some of the styles have matching women’s and kid’s (up to 8 years old) shirts. The family that greens together, thrives together.
($44 for adult sizes, $36 for kid sizes, www.twigandtwill.com)

BOTTOM LINE
Pair the Green Label tees with light-weight denim jeans or khaki shorts from Loomstate. The burgeoning line is becoming so popular that you can find it at high-end stores like Barneys New York, Bloomingdale’s, and Fred Segal Los Angeles and Santa Monica. Green is so chic! ($154 for the jeans and $115 for the shorts, www.twigandtwill.com)

SMELL’S LIKE GREEN SPIRIT
In my last article, I mentioned that cologne and cologned skincare is out, while natural, organic scents are in. After all, dads are entitled to have a beautiful and clean face, too! My husband uses a great aftershave lotion called Pink Grapefruit-C Gel from the organic organic skincare line Eminence. He also uses their Sugar Plum Whip Moisturizer in the morning and evening—and it's as heavenly as it sounds.

HIPPER HOPS
Help Dad kick back, relax and drink eco-responsibly with a great organic ale from Butte Creek Brewing. This beer is out of Chico, Calif., and sold at Whole Foods nationwide.

FRAME OF MIND
Display Dad's favorite photo in a frame made from a recycled bicycle chain and conceived by artist Graham Bergh, who was so inspired by the idea of reviving discarded bike parts that he founded a company around it ($42, www.eco-artware.com). Don't love the frame idea? Eco-artware.com also carries many other clever, earth-friendly gifts that your man is sure to love.
