I visited my grandma last year in Guatemala and it was so inspiring to see how a lot of Guatemalan families live a zero waste lifestyle without even realizing they do. For example my family buys their produce and meats at farmers markets, they use reusable bags, they grow an edible garden and compost, they make their own tortillas (if they're buying tortillas or bread they use a special cloth to wrap them in), and the biggest one is that they hand wash and air dry all of their clothing as opposed to using a washing machine/dryer(every house in Guatemala has an outdoor washing sink called a pila) . I think for a lot of them, because it is such a poor country, it's been their way of life tracing back several years. I really could talk about all the ways people in Central America live zero waste! Anyway, it's so awesome to see people are being more mindful about our planet and making changes in their lifestyle and the waste they produce. I myself have slowly been implementing these changes into my daily life. Would love to see more videos about this topic! Great video! :)

Hi Carrie, I really enjoyed this video! Just a suggestion when it comes to the washer/dryer. Have you thought about investing in an outdoor clothesline to dry your clothes? California is such a sunny state with minimal rainfall. Your clothes will be left smelling amazing and feeling so cozy from drying in the sunshine. It’ll also make them last longer and save on electricity bills! Seeing how much dryers were used while we travelled/lived in the US surprised me. It’s so easy to make clothes lines a standard for drying clothes in in most US states, at least for the summer months! Food for thought ☺️ Keep up the amazing sustainable videos! You’re spreading the good stuff! Love from Aus 🇦🇺

I LOVE saving glass containers throughout the year so I can put excess veggies from the garden in them and bring them to friends and family!

@samanthabartlett4562 4 года назад

One of my favorite ways to reduce waste is to buy local! I have found that small local farms/ranches/coffee roasters/tea makers etc are much more willing to help reduce or reuse packaging(if they arent already)!

@dianabrown4571 4 года назад

So happy to see you propaganding sustainability and eco-consciousness! Thank you Carrie & Alex ❤️

@maggiefarnsworth3704 4 года назад

Amazing! I’ve been LOVING your content! You’ve been so incredible in acknowledging the toll this pandemic is taking on everybody (essential workers and people who are stuck at home), and I am so grateful that you’ve been producing such calming, and incredibly helpful tips during this crazy time because I’m sure it isn’t easy! I’ll watch your videos on my lunch hour, or when I get home from a stressful work day and it puts me in such a better mood. Just wanted to extend some kindness and gratitude towards you, because you deserve it! 💕

@CarrieRad 4 года назад

This the sweetest comment and truly mean so much to me! It's comments like this that really push me to continue creating the best content I can. I appreciate you more than you know! xx

@lanak99 4 года назад

Love seeing creators highlight how easy it is can be to reduce your waste. We need everyone doing zero waste to the best of their ability, not a few people doing zero waste perfectly. Something I’ve been making is my own veggie stock. I put all my veggie scraps (carrot peels, onions that are almost bad, the ends of celery that I don’t like to eat, etc.) in a plastic container (a big empty yogurt container 👍🏼) and keep it in the freezer. Once the container is full, I throw all the frozen veggie scraps in my crockpot, add water and cook it for 4-6 hours on high. This can easily be done on the stove as well but using the crockpot means that I can make my own stock while I’m at work!

@stephanie3841 4 года назад

These are all such great ideas! Something I've started doing to help the environment is eating less meat and dairy!

Coffee grounds are so good in the garden ✨ tomato’s and grapes love them . Reusable coffee filters are life changing too ✨ I have just a basic coffee pot and I got my filter from Walmart for about 5$ such an easy switch Reusable cotton rounds are a easy beauty switch , I got mine off amazon .

@mikeberends585 4 года назад

Pro tip for you. Keep the compost moist and aerated. And Keep the composting bin away from your home. There is a small possibility of fire igniting due to spontaneous combustion. Thanks for the informative video!

@MelissaDeLaRosaLVDM 4 года назад

You’re the absolute best! That disclaimer at the end about being friendly and non-judgmental towards each other ❤️it says so much about you. Thank you for this video!

@galanthusknits 4 года назад

My husband and I have been really into the low-waste, and "make things from scratch" lifestyle for about 4 years now, and we love it. We already do the things you talked about in this video, but I loved seeing the ways that you and Alex do them. In the UK, the compost is removed by the city, just as the garbage and recycling is, so that's nice. A kitchen tip I have is for laundry (in the UK, the washing machines are in the kitchen, so it counts). Drying your clothing outside on a line, rather than using the energy to dry them, is so much better, and honestly, so much more enjoyable.

@marika6968 4 года назад

I love cooking homemade stuff because I know everything that is in it and it is so comforting. Personally, I make my own bread, hummus, muffins and bars. I also want to make my own cleaner, soap, peanut butter, jam, and lots of other stuff! And my husband wants to make our own pastas. Homemade sounds to delicious :)

@ditsaa 4 года назад

My fav topic! Thanks for spreading awareness on this topic! Please make more, and shorter videos on this topic so that it's impacting more people and giving the rational behind how easy this is to do, and how resistant we are - and yet, our grandparents did this SO easily. Paper napkins are the most easiest to replace, and yet we're so dependent on them. Cultures outside of this country, and for centuries, have lived zero-waste for so long! Why is our generation, SO dependent on plastic and paper trinkets?

@annajoie700 4 года назад

Your approach to life and your lifestyle in general is so inspiring to see! Thank you for sharing with us, Carrie! You provide such great bits of knowledge and wisdom! 👏🏼💛🤍🤗

THANK YOU SO MUCH Carrie for this journey and this advice. I'm so glad you came to the conclusion that your behavior can be re oriented to be more sustainable, and as the CEO and founder of an environmental organisation called New Hera, I am very happy of this video. What you're saying is true and useful, and you're proving that a change is EASILY possible. Lots of love from France !

I love your channel!! We just recently bought a house on a half acre and the original builder was big into gardening.. we lucked out with a big compost bin in the back!

@angelakinuye368 3 года назад

My favorite thing to do is save all my veggie odds and ends like stems, skins, stocks and make my veggie broth. Just throw it all in a pot with water and whatever seasonings you would like, make it herby, salty, or spicy. I usually use whatever left Ofer herbs I have and spice I have more of. Always turns out great! I just take all the odds and ends and keep them in the freezer till it’s time. Then you can freeze the broth too after you make it. ;) I use it in everything.

It's like you read my mind this morning... I was just talking about getting rid of paper towels. I made my first loaf of bread today! (It was a fail but I'm learning gluten free baking which is tricky) but we always make our own cleaning products for the kitchen (healthier, and so so easy!)

@kelseypezzola7348 4 года назад

You should try doing a "quick pickle" for your red onions! Slice up the onion thinly, place them in a pot on the stove, cover them with a half apple cider vinegar/ half water mixture that's just enough to cover them. Then add a sweetener of your choice, like honey or normal sugar. I usually use less than a tablespoon of my sweetener, I'm just lightly covering the onions. Finally, bring them to a boil for only a minute or 2 and take them off the heat. There ya go! Pickled onion in 5 minutes. They're so good! I love to put them on tacos, in a grilled cheese, or tossed in a salad. Hope you try it out! Thanks so much for all your great content Carrie! I just moved into my new house and am running out to grab supplies for a vegetable garden this weekend! You have me inspired ✨

@mandeewilson5984 4 года назад

I love glass containers too! I’ve been meaning to start composting but I live in a smaller apartment. So lately I’ve been propagating some of my fruits and vegetables & putting them in my mini garden :)

@Hannah-ko7qd 4 года назад

Thanks so much for sharing! I’m going to research compost for smaller areas but you’ve inspired me to start!

@kathrynmudgway 4 года назад

Microfiber cloths have been a game-changer during quarantine for us. We've used them before but they've definitely come in handy now even more so. If any of you have Swiffer mops or something similar, you can also find reusable pads as well. Thank you for talking about this, Carrie and Alex! Hope everyone has been staying safe! 🌎✨

@JillianSnabilie 4 года назад

I love every bit of this video! The tips are such good ones, even though I grew up with parents that already were concious about sustainability. I've learnt to compost and make food ready for winter (like pickles, but also think about berry juices/spreads!! yum). Now I live in an apartment without outside space, no balcony, even our windows don't open widely, so I just pray my peas and tomato plants will grow nonetheless :) I miss a veggie garden.

@kristenwagner8765 4 года назад

I am starting a garden. I have been watching your videos and I want to learn how to can veggies and pickle some cucumbers later in the year once I start harvesting my veggies :) I have also started composting. Great informative video!

@OnelovexOneheart 4 года назад

Great topic! Thank you as well for being a positive light in all of this! You do a great job of appreciating that things are difficult but at the same time being so encouraging and hopeful and I’m very thankful! I have been trying to pass the good vibes along in a time where being kind to our fellow humans is very needed! Stay safe and well! 😊❤️

I also save glass marinara jars and use them to store nuts and dried fruit I buy in bulk. I even use them for bacon grease (not the most glamorous thing) grease is really bad down your kitchen sink!

@emmonselementaryadventures2729 4 года назад

LOVE IT! Thank you so much for this video, all things we share a passion about! You are truly inspiring! Side note...where is your adorable top from!?

@l.u.c.y.3590 4 года назад

One of my favorite tips: use veggie scraps (celery, carrot, onion, garlic, parsley etc.) to make your own veggie stock! It tastes so much better than store bought and really makes a difference!

@LailiBirdy 4 года назад

PRO COMPOST TIP: If your'e tired of the flies, the smell, and/or don't like to take your compost out every day you can put it in the FREEZER. I've been doing this for a couple months now and it ensures that I actually compost.

I thought I was the only one that saved glass jars and bottles from the grocery store. 😅 I make my own almond milk, every 2 days. I stopped buying the cartons from Costco. My next goal is to make my own broth. I would also love to pickle veggies and make bread.

One kind of funny thing I make my own of is my own poo-pouri. It's so easy to make (just isopropyl alcohol, water and essential oils) that I'm stunned people pay 10 bucks for a bottle of it when you can make tons and tons of it for literally pennies.

@carinal8738 3 года назад

Emma Klintberg I would love to know how you make your cleaning products!

@emmaklintberg2767 4 года назад

Sure! Supersimple! 👌🏼 Fill a clean 35-oz spray bottle with tap water (or distilled water if you live in a hard water area). Add 3 tablespoons of concentrated liqiud castile soap (like dr. Bronners). I add some drops of an essential oil that i like, just make sure the oil is safe to use around pets or kids if you have some. 😄Thats really it. Its a multi-surface cleaner so just a light spritz and whipe away with a cloth. Good luck! 🧹

Watermelon Rind Pickles (Miami Herald Cookbook) Ingredients: 7 pounds thick watermelon rind 1/4 cup pickling salt 1 quart cold water 7 cups sugar 2 cups white vinegar 2 sticks cinnamon 12 whole cloves 10 Grape Leaves (or 10 teaspoons calcium chloride) to keep pickles from getting mushy during canning process Directions: Start at least three days before you want to serve these watermelon pickles. Peel the dark green skin from the rinds. Trim pink flesh off the rind. Cut the peeled rinds to 1-inch cubes. Overnight: Dissolve salt in cold water and soak melon-rind cubes overnight. Make more brine as needed to keep rind covered. Next Day: Combine sugar, vinegar, cinnamon sticks, and whole cloves in a saucepan. Bring to a boil and pour over rind. Cover and let stand overnight. Next morning: sterilize canning jars and lids according to manufacturer's directions. Drain off syrup into a saucepan. Pack the rind into sterilized canning jars. Either put one grape leaf into each canning jar or sprinkle 1 teaspoon of calcium chloride (aka Pickle Crisp) into each jar. Bring syrup to a boil and pour over rind in jars; leaving 1/2" head space. Seal with sterilized lids according to manufacturer's instructions. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

@agnese16 4 года назад

it’s always been weird to me how little people (especially in the usa) compost or recycle. not coming from a place of hate, im just really curious. in europe, most of it anyway, you don’t even have a choice. you have to do both, and if you don’t they send you a ticket.

@ccap3211 4 года назад

You have to pay to recycle right? I know where I live you do. I think the city should do free recycling.

@MeanderingMeagan4 4 года назад

reduce your footprint as much as you can? Must be cutting out all animal products then, awesome!

@ccap3211 4 года назад

This is very passive aggressive sounding. She said she’s not striving to be perfect. And they have cut down their meat consumption a lot from what they’ve said.
