10 things that are surprisingly unsustainable // unsuspected impact pt 2 

Civil engineer here, just wanted to add on to the bit on concrete. Concrete is made out sand, aggregates which are just crushed rock, and cement. In some places, people are starting to crush up old concrete and use it as aggregates instead of mining for new rock to use in concrete mixes. This is becoming more and more common and greatly reduces the amount of Virgin material needed to create new concrete. But you also didn't mention that the chemical process that occurs when cement hardens releases large amounts of CO2. Again, research is being done to reduce this but we're still a long ways away from a carbon neutral concrete, if it's even possible.

I use canvas bags that my grandmother used back in the 60s, so they definitely have lots of use 🥰

I make "canvas" bags by crocheting plastic bags together so there are less grocery bags in the land fill. Between 100-400 bags depending upon bag size

The cut flowers section reminded me that I would love to see an Impact of Houseplants video! It's such a big part of the sustainability esthetic, but I can't imagine that thousands of tropical plants being shipped everywhere is sustainable.

Re: replacing large household appliances, it definitely is a lose/lose. Newer ones are generally made to wear out in just a few years but older ones use more energy. That said, I'll keep the older items until they are no longer reparable! I'm frugal about my usage and my electric bill is fairly low. I inherited my parents' upright deep freezer which is over 50 years old and it still works great! It never has needed a repair.

I wonder if there are any studies on whether the impact of producing a dish washer (all the components, their shipping, the energy needed to build it, ect) + the electricity it uses on a daily basis, are really more sustainable than using more water. I really think this issue is much more complicated than it appears.

Thank you for this great video! A lot of people, often influenced by bloggers or youtubers, social media etc, overuse essential oils and it is scary and upsetting to see them literally pour essential oil down the drains of their toilets and sinks and washing machines, and using them to clean every surface in their homes, regularly and even daily. Why? Because we now have this fake"culture" that everything needs to be perfumed: our bodies, clothes, bedlinen, couches, living spaces... it has become an OBSESSION. Obviously cleanliness is very important and nice, but it doesn't have to be perfumed to be clean! What about the lovely and personal body scents that we can get after using neutral natural soap? And why not just use a fresh bar of natural soap in our drawers/wardrobes, or little bags of lavender (which last very, very long) or dried herbs like our older generations did? And just open the windows to freshen up our home, especially when it's sunny? (unless you live in a very polluted area). But adding artificial/industrial scents to a dusty or polluted is not going to clean your air, it will just make it more toxic. Essential oils are wonderful but should be used sparingly and mostly for medicinal purposes (like eucalyptus for a cold or flu, mind for a headache, etc).

I’ve never been a massive cut flowers person (LOVE them in my garden obvs) so my bf cleaned my car for me instead because he knew that would mean way more to me

My mum has been using chopsticks and coffee stirring sticks to help her plants stay up and climb onto the walls. The canvas bags and tote bags reminded me of a great episode of We Bare Bears in which they become addicted to tote bags XD love your content! greetings from Argentina!

Great video! Regarding canvas bags, I feel like people tend to forget somewhow that they're made out of fabric. It's great that more people are beginning to understand how harmful fast fashion etc is, but that same mindset needs to extend to canvas bags (and other fabric items) as well. Basically we should be looking at them the same way we do clothing, bedding and curtains etc. Use what you already have, swap, share, thrift, repair, remake. Buying new should always be last on the list! Edit: And to continue, I think we need to start thinking of cotton and fabrics in general kind of like water or gas - as a resource that we should be using responsibly. There are good and bad ways to use it. If the cotton is turned into high quality fabric which in turn is made into high quality clothes that are used for years and years that's a good use of resources, but if those same clothes (or canvas bags!) are only used a couple of times despite their high quality that's irresponsible. If the cotton is turned into cheap poor quality fabric that's made into cheap poor quality clothes that will only last a few washes that's a terrible use of resources. You basically need to use something regularly for a long time for it to be a good responsible use of the material that it's made of.

Canvas bags are extensively used in gardening nowadays. They become great grow bags that can be used for several years in the place of plastic pots.

As someone who loves going to antique stores when you mentioned the big acrylic movement going on and how the pieces last forever my first thought was “is this what I’m going to see in antique stores in 30 years…”

I agree that most people have too many canvas bags and people should think more about the resources used to produce them. But I personally think you left out a big point in the debate plastic vs canvas bags: Plastic bags will stay around forever and ever while canvas bags are at least biodegradable. So yes, short term, they are worse for most people but long-term, they are still the better option.

Love you for bringing up there thing with flushing things that don't come out of you or are toilet paper down the toilet! This is a huge problem in sewage pants. Actually, paper that doesn't dissolve in the water has a tendency to get stuck around any moving part in the treatment plant and often, the only way to get it out is manually. I guess you can imagine that's not a fun job and we have more important things to do in the treatment plants. Also, don't flush down hair! It easily gets stuck in pumping wheels and if you've tried to untangle hair from being tightly wound around a spinning part I guess you can imagine, this is no fun job.

Great video, Gittemary! I do have a few canvas bags, most of which I got many, many years ago, and will use until the end of my life, I'm sure. I'm 71. ;) Some were gifts, some were secondhand. I also bought some bags made of recycled plastic to use for groceries. I admit that I do have too many bags; however, they have been and will continue to be used for years. Along the same line, I have a backpack that I have had for so long, I don't even remember, but probably close to 15 years. Usually, backpacks don't last very long, especially when you work in a library and use them for carting around tons of heavy books. lol This one did start to come apart in places, so I took it to a shoe repairman and he fixed it so well that the straps are still very strongly attached...and that was about 12 years ago! It cost almost as much as the bag did originally, but it was sure worth it! :D ♥

Around Valentine's Day I saw this one local business selling bouquets of dried seasonal flowers and I thought that was a really neat idea! - Drying and saving up flowers from your garden to give to people seems somewhat more romantic to me

Regarding concrete, I would say that “reusing” old buildings and renovating them is better than building new. Never too small has a lot of interesting videos about reuse and restoration of small properties in old buildings so no need to be discouraged! Love what you do 💚💚💚

I have never made resin art but my aunt does and she has a "ugly" pile that she doesnt throw out but offers to her family. I personally think they're pretty so my trivet, and all my coasters are from her. I don't really like them as just art but when they double as usable items around my home its nice to have something my aunt made and especially the pieces she would otherwose have discarded..

7:46 I use chopsticks & popsicle sticks for various repairs! Such as for those fabric hanging storage: if they start to sag since it’s flimsy cardboard or something inside, you can cut a small slit in the front/under the shelf to slip the chopsticks in for support 🤩Popsicle sticks are good for the smaller ones depending on the length, so you have a variety of sizes for a variety of fixes

hiya gittemary! i'd love a tour of your DIY projects with things that would have otherwise been wasted! you mention those a lot and I'd love some inspiration!! ^-^ I love your videos, thank you so much for your educating yet entertaining videos. Love from germany! x

Canvas bags can also be used for organising things, not just carrying things. They can protect from the dust: shoes, bags, out-of-season scarfs/gloves and some clothes, sports gears, organise games, balls, rackets, children's toys/fluffy animals/dolls, hobby stuff and tools, wool.cotton yarn, what is packed in a suitcase like delicate underwear or accessories, hang things from hooks in the bathroom or closet, etc. Plain colour bags can be embroidered or painted with textile paint, personalised in many ways, used for gift wrapping... The brand logo or some ugly picture can be hidden by sewing a piece of nice fabric. If the bag is made of natural fabric, the fabric can be repurposed to make something else like table dish sets or napkins..

I've been using my bags for years. I don't even buy bags, I just acquire them through gifts and different means. I also have bags in all types of materials, not just canvas. As well, I have bags and sacks that were gifted to me by my grandmother and they were her mother's. 😊 So the lifetime of these bags is looking pretty long for the most part, which I'm very happy about.

Hi. Great video! Agree with everything except one point - dishwasher. Yes, using it is more sustainable, than washing dishes by hand, but only if you already have got one. Cause I would guess that production, transportation and sale of a new dishwasher generates way more waste, than one small family would by washing their dishes by hand in a decade.

During the past few years, I have learned about the harmful environmental impact of items such as candles, cut flowers, essential oils, canvas bags, concrete (we’re running out of sand to make concrete), and more… so I have stopped buying these items (with the exception of concrete… for obvious reasons). What a great way to save money!! It seems that when we exert our time and energy into taking care of the planet we also stop spending money. What a pleasant spin off 😃 I only wish more folks would allow themselves to experience this positive impact of saving the planet and saving money. Great video today Gittemary!! Thanks so much and have an awesome weekend everybody. 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary💕

Microfiber cloths!!! I hear of so many people changing to microfiber in ways of reducing paper towel usage and trying to cut down on the use of harmful cleaning chemical because companies like Norwex market their cloths as only needing water to clean. The down fall is, people don't realize these "sustainable" cloths are essentially made of polyester and contain microplastics that leech into our water systems every time they are washed, and are mass produced in an unsustainable and likely unethical way.

I feel like resin is such a double-edged sword. It's "forever" quality is what can make it both a great option for lowering waste, and also what makes it such a menace. It is fantastic in preserving and mending items, like fixing broken electronics parts (where tape wouldn't do the trick e.g. in broken headphones, where hair oils would keep undoing the glue), or used to keep frequently used wooden furniture sealed without the need of re-sealing (a lot of sealers turn gummy and need replacing after some use, while oils don't fully seal the timber). I don't like the resin-art trends going around, not just for eco reasons but also as an aesthetic snob. Glass looks and feels so much more luxurious that resin, and can be recycled. Obviously though it has it's limitations where a mom couldn't really do some casual glass smelting crafts with her 8 year old at home lol.

The hardest thing about new appliances is they are built with planned obsolescence, made to fail. My parents were getting their refrigerator from the nineties fixed and they asked about getting a new one. The repair guy told them they can probably make this one last as long as they are in their house while a new fridge will need to be replaced every 5-7 years. Their current fridge isn’t as energy efficient, but it doesn’t have to be trashed 🤷‍♀️

I have a charity thrift store, and we accept peoples reusable shopping bags that they don’t use. We simply reuse them (wash/clean them if needed, ofc) for storage and to bag up customers’ purchases, sometimes the customers will even return the same bags back to us later. Many people have been happy to give us their unused ”stash” of reusable bags, and it’s a win-win situation all around! Since the bags doesn’t cost us anything we don’t charge for them which encourages people to take a reusable bag instead of plastic, which we do charge for. We also encourage people to bring us donations in reusable bags. It would be nice to see this become more common for small businesses to do because it minimizes the amount of new reusable bags being produced and allows for unused ones to be used.

I've only done resin-crafting once to make a pendant and it's definetly an interesting medium from a crafting-perspective, but I agree that it needs to be used more mindfully as it is plastic after all (ie don't make or buy something you're not gonna use a lot) and that's in addition to the fact that a lot of resin is very toxic and really needs to be disposed of properly and generally be handled with great caution

What makes me wash dishes by hand instead of getting a dishwasher is that water gets cleaned, whereas the electricity that i use for running the dishwasher is not coming back..

Excellent video GitterMary. No, I don't do resin art because outside of gardening I am not creative. Thanks for sharing this video. Washing dishes by hand is unsustainable but it could be argued that Dishwasher's aren't sustainable due to being powered by electric that may be provided through fossil fuels. Love 🥰 the video and love 💕 GitterMary.

I’ve started using my tote bags as project separators (crocheting/sewing/etc) and for giving gifts. As for washing the dishes, I just flashback to when I worked as a dishwasher and the dishwasher broke and we had to do the “3 sink system” and had to change the water every hour and I shudder. Hand washing is my least favorite thing on the planet, but I will also do it for the longevity of certain items (wood, good knives, etc) but I try my best to not use too much water when I do it. I’m lucky that I don’t have to worry about candles or essential oils anymore, they all cause migraines for me! No matter the ingredients or quality.

My degrees are in horticulture, and I can't even begin to tell you the horrors of the cut flower industry. My personal peeve is the Tournament of Roses Parade. The level of waste is just staggering.

I have a refrigerator from 1993. I’m sure it costs a bit more to run, but modern refrigerators have a life span of 5-7 years, then they are thrown in a landfill. I’m guessing it’s about the same as far as impact. I’m sure you are right about really old appliances from 40-50 years ago. Our stove was from 1975, and replacing it when it died did reduce our electric bill.

heyy, just wanted to say that I absolutely love your content and your energy on this channel You‘re really helping me on my sustainability journey :)) How about a video about organisations like WWF, Greeanpeace, Oceancare etc., I would love to know which of all these organisations are worth supporting… (Sidenote: there‘s also concrete that is made out of hemp, so it is basically renewable)

I use my bags until they fall apart. I think that's fine. No guilty feeling at all. And dishes.... do people really let the faucet run while they wash ???? There's a round thing ... darn forgot the word.... that keeps water in the sink...

I'm glad 😊, that you talked about resin

On wooden chopsticks - You can use your wooden chopsticks and attach lil pieces of wood to them and use them as spike to hold up plant identification names in gardens.

Thanks for mentioning resin. It is definitely an interesting DIY but I never tried and also fully understand the negative impact of being there "forever" and even use plants and make them an "impact" by conserving them in resin. In regards to dish washing by hand: I think my mum washes dishes by hand even more sustainable than a dish washer. 😂 And I am fighting to have two sinks in the future kitchen to be able to Sometimes wash dishes as she does. 😉 Regards Stephanie

Advocate for more and better public transit, always, but especially for on the ground transit then. Underground transit, when build new, requires concrete. And if that wasn‘t enough, it requires to build elevators which wouldn‘t be necessary if transit was build on ground level. (And also whenever the elevators are broken somehow the whole station becomes inaccessible.)

Love your content! My mother and a friend of mine used their old fridge/freezer to store clothes or craft supplies. So they were not simply thrown away, but served a purpose. And the really old fridge my friend used in this way was actually quite stylish in a retro kind of way. I inherited lots of wire baskets from other old freezers in my family. which I now use in my wardrobe or storage room to store things.

🤔 I am chosing to keep my old (15yrs) washer/dryer in good working order rather then trash for new. It's not as good on water or electric use but I feel the environmental impact of repairing is lower then replacing. We repair our own so smaller impact even then hiring repairs out.

I had no idea resin was like this... I've been interested in it because people make art with it that looks so *cool*... Now, I need to rethink it. Awesome video!

I have a 2 basin sink, very small basins at that, as we currently live in a camper. I fill one side up with soap water and one side up with cold rinse water. Both only have about 2 or 3 inches of water in them, so between 1 and 1.5 gallons in total. Sometimes I have to run another wash basin if I have a lot of dishes. But I don't let the water run. So we use about a third to half the amount as a dishwasher. Not that we even could have one anyway. I also use the water in the sink to wash the sink out afterwards and also wipe off my counters and tables before I sweep.

I'm learning so much from every single video. Thank you so much for your work!

I reuse disposable chopsticks or use them to stabilize plants that need help. With hand washing dishes, I think it depends on how use wash them, as in being mindful about how much water you use. I don't fill my sink up with wash or rinse water. I clean some dishes, quick rinse them off, put them in the drying rack and repeat. I could just be trying to defend myself, lol.

Awesome research and advice - thank You! You can use one time use chop sticks ( broken in pieces) as moisture absorbers when putting fresh groceries in your fridge , like mushrooms, or kale....As well as toothpicks...

I’m obsessed with your content! Can’t wait to see where my sustainable lifestyle will take me. (I just started my journey a couple weeks ago starting off with vegan and working my way into sustainable living). Thank you for all your input, advice, and tips! VERY HELPFUL!

Thank you so much ❤ you always keep me motivated being as sustainable as I can in an very unsustainable environment 🤗

I still have canvas bags that I purchased in the mid 90’s. They’re of course used for grocery shopping. Some of them are used as portable “file cabinets”, some for craft supplies. One of them is slightly distressed due to a puppy chewing the handle😂

Wow, I've been curious about resin for a while now. Thanks for this!

Thank you for the great video as always. And btw that sweater makes your eyes POP! You look beautiful!

About concrete, it is very interesting you brought this up. My brother is a construction worker. I told him about concrete and how used and unsustainable it is. He told me that now, in Switzerland they are thinking of buildings made out of wood. It is just beginning but he explained that they can last very long and that wood has a lot of potential. It might be used more and more ! So yeah we can have a little for this one

I totally get what you're saying here about canvas bags, but I use mine all the time! I usually buy them from small artists that I want to support and use I use them for all my shopping! Or I just use them as a purse 🤷🏼 Love your channel! 🤗

All but 2 of my reusuable bags came from a thrift store, and I use them so much (not just for grocery shopping, but thrift shopping as well) that one of them recently fell apart when loading it up at the checkout. I got a lot of use out of it 👍

Excellent video… please make a part 3! Thanks

I sell candles locally in my area from organic soy wax and the jars are all repurposed jars from food stuffs from my job or coworkers not sure how much more sustainable that can get but I'm certainly looking

A great video, as always. I have thought about all the resin projects and what will happen to them over time

Thank you Gitte! 🥰

Just thinking, washing dishes by hand vs dishwashers..dishwashers use electricity, they need to be produced, transported, they possibly break, need fixing or replaced, get dumped and I know many people who pre hand rinse the dishes before they put them in the dishwasher and on top of all that a dishwasher still uses some water so personally I'm still a bit sceptical about a dishwasher being a better choice.

Thanks for making this list. I learned a lot in this video :)

Honestly, I use my canvas bags literally hundreds of times, unlike plastic bags as they break way more easily, and you can more easily repair a canvas bag compared to a plastic one

Gittemary I just love your videos so so much & have been able to implement what I learn from your sharings so smoothly with the thoroughness in which you inspire change! I'm not sure if you ever planned to talk about this arena of sustainability, but my boyfriend & I are getting married soon & I was wondering if you could make a video regarding sustainable wedding ring options as well as the overall impact of the marriage industry. We have no idea where to start with this new endeavor & I want to have a symbol of our union like a ring to be founded on ethical principles as much as possible! Thank you so much for your time if you read this & you are so so amazing for what you do on this channel & in your everyday life

I did learn about the hand vs dishwasher. We had to get a new dishwasher but I always tried to handwash when I could. I still question it as I make a bowl of soapy water to wash, set soapy dishes in sink beside it till I have a pile to rinse. Then air dry! 🤷‍♀️ I'm also miffed that I'm not legally allowed to gray water my house where I live *pout*

I'm throwing micas and clays out there for another set of surprisingly unsustainable items as they are non-renewable sources and are found in soooo many natural/eco friendly cosmetic products. It's not the thing that will change the world but thought it was interesting how these powders, similar to essential oils, have become widely accepted in sustainable products

Another problem with concrete and other hard surfaces is that they stop the ground from absorbing water, which has various negative consequences including raising flood risk and wasting rainwater.

omg i had not no idea about concrete! I am currently renovating my house and I can make even more sustainable changes now!

One thing about new appliance nowadays... they break so much faster than old ones. Nowadays lots of appliances come with micro chips break very easily.

I’m really curious to observe how those people hand-washed the dishes when they did this water comparison. Did they leave the water running? Did they not reuse the rinse water? And I’d like a dishwasher’s energy and materials to be translated to “water” comparable and included in the number of “gallons used”

essential oils are also not as healthy as we might think. because they are so concentrated they can result in being toxic. unfortunately there are so many people online convinced that essential oils cure all sorts of things and give them even to babies🤯 a moderate use that doesn't involve putting essential oils directly onto your skin or ingesting them is advised.

I have quite a few teachers in my family and each time they get flowers I wait until they are kinda dying and them dry them for decor at my home or to wrap gifts with!

1. Cut flowers 2. Resin art 3. Tote bags 4. Doing the dishes (by hand) 5. Old appliances 6. Disposable chopsticks (and disposable wooden cutlery) 7. Flushable wipes/makeup wipes 8. Candles 9. Essential oils 10. Concrete

Concrete I think is an interesting one. In lower economically developed countries concrete is actually a really useful and accessible material to build housing and shelters so I would argue if it's going to be your home for years to come it's actually sustainable.

Thank you for such informative content...really really enjoy your videos! Love from Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦🤗

I would love to see a part 3!

I own one canvas bag that I use all the time lol I’ve used it so much that it started to fall apart but luckily I’m a seamstress so I just keep fixing it, plus I found at a thrift store, they were going to throw it away so I asked if I could have it and they said I could. I’ve had the one bag for a good 4 almost 5 years now

I just found out the dishwasher part! I've been washing dishes in the dishwasher now.

I really love your content…you’ve helped me to revisit how I use things and I feel really great about the changes I’ve made. Now I just need to move to Denmark so we can be friends! Xoxo

Good morning greatly appreciate all your videos

I did not know about or even consider the impacts of concrete! Also, a while back, before I really knew about sustainability and was just focused on plastic, I had bought a box of 100 organic canvas bags that I was going to put cute sayings on and sell. I already have them so I might as well do that now, but I thought it would be a better alternative to plastic bags. If I sell them in my store, I may actually hike the price on them a bit now just to make sure that if someone is buying them it's because they are actually wanting to use it. I really wish people would put more effort into learning how to grow things on a massive scale in more sustainable ways!

Flushable stuff was a new thing I havent heard about before! But I think ppl generally need to re-think what they should flush and not...

I love indoor plants and i guess it is not the most sustainable habit (though now i grow veggies and stuff on my balcony which i probably wouldn't do if i didn't love plants already), but i am trying my best. I don't buy new pots ever. I am in plant groups where people give up old pots. I take em and when i don't like the look, i take rope or paint them, sand them down etc. I drill drainage holes in otherwise useless pots because no planter can fit in there. I exchange pantlings with other people I don't buy new clothes except panties, no new candles, my skin care routine is nearly perfectly zero waste because my friend works at lush and gives me stuff that would otherwise be thrown away and i give the pots back. I can't drive. I think i can compensate my plant addiction

Wonderful video this was so helpful!

I've had (and use) my canvas shopping bags since my late twenties and I'm 61 now 😁😁😁

About that diswasher thing, According to the so-called tests made, it's based on European households that kept using hot water for long periods of time. AKA whether the dishwasher is more effective depends. Because I'm pretty sure if the data was say somewhere in Asia where the weather is humid, and many Asians of the lower income families to hawkers use a huge low bucket to wash their dishes, the dishwashers would be seen as using far too much water. AKA diswashers being more effective in water usage is a huge MYTH. And some tests were so eregious, that it includes bathing, pools, water for gardens. And really when it comes to whether dishwashers have actually improved compared to say a decade ago... It's just a few percentage of difference (about 3- 5%). But there are no regulations to must say this out openly. Otherwise the statistics depends on the best dishwasher. Which not many people can afford. Also it uses electricity.

I use single use chopsticks for my plants to stabilize them or make little toys for my hamster. I used one and wrapped some old fabric around it and sewed those shirt ribbons that are used to put them on hangers at one end and bam, new cat toy

In the U.S. at least, you can get cut flowers that are left over from events like weddings, parties, etc. and would otherwise be thrown away from companies like Revased and also they're available from Imperfect Foods as well.

For concrete we can vote for politicians that are aware of the materials used in city planning. Or, if we are building something ourselves, we can find anothet ressource.

Could you please do a follow up video on candles? I've loved candles because they're "consumables" and I had no idea they had any negative impact ;___;

so glad you mentioned the resin art.... that trend needs to stahp

I don't have a dishwasher so I have to wash my dishes by hand. I soap up in batches and rinse in batches.

My dishwasher and fridge were both produced in 1998 and are still going strong, so I have VERY mixed feelings about them. On the one hand, I use those consciously (with safe detergents, making sure it is full before I make a washing cycle, making sure the temperature is right etc) on the other hand I feel very guilty that I have two very old and definitely not energy efficient appliances in my kitche... I can't quite wrap my head around changing an appliance that is still perfectly working, but I think I'll have to take that step as soon as I have budget for it

Your eyes are popping like crazy with your sweater 😍

Great video. I’m not sure about the dish washer thing. I use a washing up bowl. admittedly plastic but I’ve had it years, I use it for hand washing clothes or growing seeds after. How many people wash dishes or run them under the tap before they put things in a dishwasher.

If you wash dishes by hand the problem of using energy to make and dispose of yet another machine doesn’t happen. It isn’t necessary to wash dishes under a running water tap, one bowl to wash and one bowl to rinse after removing left over food which is recycled by a process of anaerobic digestion to make energy.

Hey ! Do you have any tips to make the house smell nice that is more sustainable? I live in a student accommodation and despite cleaning the room all the time it just had a weird smell for some reason . But I would prefer to use a something that is more sustainable than candles or a essential oil diffuser ... any recommendation?✨

I might contradict you at old appliances part. Some old apliances are better than new ones most of the times, because they were built to last and I don't see that is necessary to replace them more often. Of course that are some cases were is necessary to replace the apliances more often. But if a appliance doesn't have very much issues at a old age, I didn't see why you would replace it.

hell yeah! a new gittemary video! time to get my pen an paper

I’m always conflicted when it comes to appliances. Should I repair or buy new? Even appliances made 15 years ago use so much more resources than new.

I always find cut flowers to be very expensive. I rather but a new succulent
