Countdown to Christmas (3)

Still thinking about Christmas giving, here are some alternative gift ideas (sometimes called ethical gifts). They won't clutter up anyone's home, but will make a significant contribution to the individual or community who are given the gift. New this year is Tear Fund's Living Gifts - this is slightly different to the other schemes in that the recipient (rather than the giver) gets to choose the virtual gift.

Finally, the Gift offset calculator will enable you to purchase carbon offsetting for driving, holidays, homes or even one person's portion of the annual UK emissions (12 tonnes of CO!).
