Laura stated that when Cristiano Ronaldo posts an image on Instagram, 36 megawatt hours of power are needed to show it to his 240million followers. The Good Morning Britain star, 40, knew from a very young age that being able to determine the weather and climate was something she had a burning passion for - and she wasn't going to stop until her dreams came true. Laura’s message is that no one can do everything, but everyone can do something – so let’s start a ripple and make a wave of change.From singing in the shower as a way to save water to using a compost bin for food waste, we can all do our bit, no matter how small. By writing this book I hope to encourage people to make small changes - but that's all I can really do. Although I understood the science, nothing could prepare me for seeing how much glaciers have retreated and speaking to the people who’ve lived there for 40 years about how things have changed. Making tech gadgets – such as phones, tablets and computers – is a carbon-intensive process, which uses precious metals, materials and energy.

Then, covering all aspects of everyday life – from the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the way we travel and even the way we celebrate – Laura gives practical advice on how we can live more sustainably and reduce our impact on the environment. I’ve been forecasting the weather for over 17 years now, but my love for the subject started much earlier in life – during a particularly memorable geography lesson when I was just 14," she penned.

I loved it and that day I phoned the Met Office to find out what you needed to do to be a weather forecaster. Join our community to get personalised book suggestions, extracts straight to your inbox, 10% off RRPs, and to change children’s lives.
