Why not make it a green day? <\/p>\n

\tPerhaps you could go for a walk or a cycle ride with your dad?
\nGet a vegetarian meal instead of a meat-based dish?
\nDo some gardening work and plant your own vegetables?<\/em><\/p>\n

If you feel like spending some money on your father, here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a last minute idea. The Natural Resourses Defense Council has a Green Gifts section<\/a> with several options, which range from sponsoring rainforest projects to wildlife protection. There\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s even one option dedicated to green driving legislation.<\/p>\n

Now, if you want to educate your father about how bad gasoline is for the environment and human\/non-human health, this beautifully put-together video by the Center for Investigative Journalism will give him some food for thought and it may persuade him to switch to alternative energy<\/a> for good.<\/p>\n
