The findings were alarming: ⚠️ Carbon monoxide was detected in nearly 8 in 10 homes tested at levels exceeding WHO standards. Carbon monoxide is invisible, odorless and can be deadly, but even lower level exposures can seriously harm human health.

Other questions to ask: - Was this made with sustainability in mind? - Can it be recycled? - Will the gift be used on a frequent basis and be long-lasting? - Can I gift an experience instead of an item? - Can I DIY part of the gift?
