2. You can do your bit to reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill or other more costly forms of treatment by composting your food and garden waste at home.

3. Bring back cotton or linen napkins and swap out paper kitchen roll and paper napkins.

5. Meal planning is the way ahead in tackling food waste, be conscious and plan ahead. Why not incorporate one day in your week that is leftover day and use up all those leftovers in the fridge? Check out Olio - a community-based app which lets you share food that is still in ‘sell by’ date with your community.

7. Similarly try bamboo cotton buds in your beauty routine and swap face wipes for re-useable cotton pads.

8. There are also lots of options to swap feminine hygiene products for more sustainable products like menstrual cups and organic tampons and pads.

9. Switch to compostable coffee pods, like those from Grind.co.uk which are 100% plastic-free and certified compostable. Or switch to a French press for your morning coffee and grind your own beans.

11. Be more sustainable in your household cleaning - Vinegar, essential oils and bicarb of soda is a great cleaning hack.

12. Re-usable tea bags. Most tea bags are not biodegradable and are made from plastic so you can’t compost them. There are a range of companies doing Switch re-usable tea bags so it’s easy to make that choice.

13. Whilst it’s difficult to put shampoo or shower gels in glass bottles you can use shampoo and conditioner bars to reduce packaging.

Kelly has been a huge influencer in the area of sustainability and considered purchasing and has some key tips for a more conscious Christmas.

2. Be a conscious giver – consider gifts that may have had a broader positive impact either with their creation, the way they have been made, or the communities that have made them.

3. Re-purpose things around your house for Christmas gift wrapping - ribbons, brown paper decorated by children and tied with string, re-using Christmas gift bags and tags and using re-purposed fabric bags for Christmas like Aspiga’s fabric bags.

5. Think about ‘giving back buys’ where your purchase benefits key causes or where your purchase is the cause for instance adopting an elephant or rhino through organisations like The Sheldrake Wildlife Trust or planning a tree in someone’s name.

6. It’s also glamorous and cool to buy pre-loved from the likes of Vestiaire (vestiairecollective.com) or purge your own wardrobe for someone else to enjoy.

8. Instead of buying your Christmas outfits why not rent and borrow? Check out My Wardrobe HQ and Hurr – the sustainable way to wear a new outfit every day.

9. A gift is not just for Christmas, try and purchase gifts that last and that the recipient will love for years to come.
