Wake up people! Hemp is extremely sustainable! It grows super fast, requires no pesticides, and provides lots of great nutrients to the soil (unlike crops that deplete nutrients). Though I will admit, the growing of it would get hairly in the U.S. due to it's glazy-eyed cousin.

I bought a checkbook wallet and a men's wallet and the quality is great. Plus, I ordered the wallet right before Christmas -knowing there was no way I would get it in time- and I did! They had it to me from Canada in just a few days, don't know how they did it.

**Update** It's been two Christmases since I gave this gift and it hasn't worn through like his previous "leather" ones. Still in fantastic shape... amazing!!

Sunlawn LMM-40 Push Reel Mower, Similar to Brill Luxus

First to recommend

Description

For smaller yards, it is much easier to pull this bad boy out than worry about gas and oil and starting and noise. Just seems ridiculous NOT to use it. (Over an acre, look into an electric)
Also, I will take this time to remind people to LEAVE THE GRASS CLIPPINGS ON THE LAWN! As long as the grass isn't so high that it's leaving huge clumps, those clippings are better for your grass (nitrogen=green) than any fertilizer. I'm an ex-landscape designer, so you can trust me.

Bioline Biodegradable Fishing Line

First to recommend

Description

Great gift for that guy that has a growing interest in eco-products ~ or those that don't... they'll use something that's given free, right?

WoW! A perfect example of how we don't even consider the environmental effects of certain things... never considered lead in lures, but I have seen fishing line all caught up in shrubs, trees and shorelines.

* 100% biodegradable fishing line (breaks down in 5 years compared the 500 years for monofilament line!)
* Retains 100% of its strength for 10-12 months (yes, you'll have to change the line every year to maintain the strength, but for 13 bucks... that's do-able!) (via Ideal Bite)

Eco Bank Sinkers

First to recommend

Description

Lead-free, degradable and non-toxic, these sinkers use a sustainable alternative to lead.

I've been by fishing lakes and the amount of fishing gear left or caught on something is unbelievable... arm your fisherman with eco-friendly tackle!
