Laura Tobin has opened up about the difficulties she faces each day with the scientific knowledge she holds amid the current climate change crisis.
The Good Morning Britain star, 40, has penned a brand-new book in the hopes of encouraging others to make every day small changes which will ultimately benefit the planet as a whole.
The thrifty life hacks are all part of her new book, Everyday Ways To Save Our Planet, released by Mirror Books.
Within the pages, Laura offers plenty of tips and tricks to help people make a difference, but speaking exclusively to The Mirror, the ITV star admitted that she can sometimes get bogged down with all the concerning statistics about climate change.
"You have to do what you can do and you can only focus on yourself and the things you can do to make the world a better place," Laura insisted.
"It is quite stressful knowing all of these statistics, and the more you research it, the more you find - so it can be quite difficult when some people are really trying every single day to be greener and more sustainable. But then you see others who throw their recycling in the wrong bin, or people who don't realise the detrimental effects of food wastage.
"It sometimes just dawns on me, but then I have to remind myself that only I can change the world around me. By writing this book I hope to encourage people to make small changes - but that's all I can really do."
Throughout her informative book on climate change, Laura insisted that she will do everything in her power to make the world a better place for her daughter, and hopes that in time, the damage that has been done to the planet can one day be reversed by the actions of people who take being eco-friendly seriously.
Laura also revealed that she's been known to sift through her friends' bins in order to rearrange the recycling.
The GMB star has detailed the best ways to reduce waste at parties and admitted that she's been caught sifting through bins during a number of soirées down through the years while her friends are lapping up the atmosphere.
In her brand-new book, Laura shares clever ways in which readers can help save the planet by making small every day changes, and the TV star swears by her rubbish bin hack while hosting parties for her daughter, Charlotte, four.
The proud mum-of-one explained: "We may have the best intentions to create no rubbish at all, but a party is always going to create some waste.
"Make it easy for people to know where to put their food waste and anything recyclable to avoid it all going in one bin and ending up which is for rubbish, which is for food waste and which is for recycling.
"I have even been known to go through other people’s bins at parties to separate their rubbish," she added.
Laura is so dedicated to the cause of recycling correctly that she has even gone through bins at her local train station.
The climate crisis advocate admitted that she can't help but feel frustrated when she sees passerby's throwing recyclable rubbish into a normal waste bin.
The meteorologist shared a number of shocking statistics in her new book - one in particular which stated that the UK only recycles 47% of it's plastic waste.
Laura Tobin: Everyday Ways To Save Our Planet, RRP £14.99, is out on 7 April and published by Mirror Books.
