How can you reduce your carbon footprint? Teresa Domenech discusses on The One Show

How often do we think about what we buy, where we buy it and the impact it has on our carbon footprint?

A large fraction of our carbon footprint is associated to our consumption patterns. Fashion, electronics and online deliveries constitute key areas of carbon footprint. As part of a series of short documentaries, The BBC1 'The One Show' discusses with Dr Teresa Domenech ways in which we can reduce our carbon emissions by introducing changes to the way we shop.

• Buy less fast fashion
• Keep electronics longer
• Plan your home deliveries 
• Buy goods made closer to home
