To mark Earth Day this year, Red Letter Days is offering an unforgettable range of sustainable experiences.
April 22 is Earth Day, an annual event where we celebrate how precious our planet is and remind ourselves how much we need to protect it.
The carbon-neutral gift experiences website has created a CO2 emissions chart that highlights which gifts are better or worse for the environment according to the amount of CO2 they emit.
Instead of buying someone you love a necklace that produces 109.0KG of CO2, you could treat them to an experience of a lifetime like a Hot Air Balloon Ride for 12.2KG of CO2.
Here's how you can treat the person you care about, and make lifelong memories without harming the planet.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
