Plant a Tree for Life

By now we are all aware of the importance of reducing carbon emissions in the atmosphere, yet how much do we actually do to tackle the problem? It's all very well talking about it, but the truth is it's often something that gets left on the wayside as we go about our busy lives, driving around the country in our huge 4 x 4's and pumping the planet full of poison. In terms of carbon off-setting, trees are deemed to be fairly vital in converting the CO2 we produce into nice, breathable oxygen - it's essentially their raison d'etre. Yet it is estimated that the average person in the UK consumes the equivalent of 12 trees a year. For this reason alone, giving a gift of a tree to be planted and looked after is a fantastic (and hassle free) way of doing something productive for the environment, as well as giving you the satisfaction of having given a worthwhile gift that will last a lifetime.

The act of tree planting is extremely positive as a starter for individuals who want to take control of the climate change issue and the included DVD will give them a brief but informative insight into the activities of the Scottish Highland tree planting project at Alladale, featured in BBC's 'The Real Monarch of the Glen'. What could be more generous than giving somebody the gift of cleaner air?

• The recipient of this gift receives a certificate with the location of the trees planted in their name.

• By absorbing CO2, trees rid the environment of an excess pollutant and in return, they give us oxygen to breathe.
• A single tree can absorb a tonne of CO2 over its lifetime.
• It's not just oxygen you're creating; vital habitats for wildlife are created by forestry production of this type.
