In Autumn 2019, Melissa launched the Sustainability Sessions, a series of ongoing community panel discussions featuring experts such as Anita Rani, Grace Dent, Skye Gyngell, Bryony Gordon, June Sarpong MBE, Matt Haig, and Fearne Cotton. These sessions covered various topics, including farming, travel, plastic pollution, mental health, fast fashion, green beauty, and slow living.
