Most travellers have a love for exploring the extraordinary planet we live on, and an understanding of the need to protect it, so all these picks are from eco-conscious brands whose missions aim to make the world a better place. We actually own most of the items on this list (and those we don’t yet are on our list for Santa this year!) so you can be assured these are genuine recommendations from fellow travellers who love brands with a focus on sustainability and the environment.
