Happy #EarthDay everyone! Mike and i made major major changes in our house a while ago to be more environmentally conscious - and REDUCE our use of plastic and single use items and increase our efforts to RECYLE / REUSE. My favorite quote about being environmentally conscious is "we don't need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. we need millions of people doing it imperfectly." So i hope you guys find this video inspirational to make some changes in your life, whether they’re big or small. I know Mike and i aren't zero waste yet but we try to make decisions to get better and better every day!

Mike is such a keeper! Bakes great bread, gardens, wants to be more ecoconcious...partners who encourage us to be better 👏💎💛

@FIFII 4 года назад

Love this! Just wanted to add the best way of being eco friendly is to not buy new things in the first place. Repurpose things you have at home already!

@JenAtkin 4 года назад

Definitely

@MrsKuhtipp 4 года назад

Try using glas straws! They look way more chic than paper straws. And I know it’s not very common in the US but instead of using a dryer you could just hang your clothes outside. Better for the garnment as well :)

@simplyshama 4 года назад

yess, most of the world does this. when it's cold/wet outside we use drying racks indoors with a window open for ventilation

@cionnewilson2143 4 года назад

I've transitioned from pads and tampons to menstrual cups, reusable pads and reusable underwear like Thinx. It's been a game-changer for me and the environment and it saves me so much money in the long run.

@catchmetonite 4 года назад

Fun fact the city I live in Canada plastic bags have been banned for a long time you can only use reusable bags at the grocery store, currently the city has allowed them again for sanitary purposes during this time but yeah we haven't had plastic bags since at least 2010

@Sharon_Cort 4 года назад

Same for the total country the Netherlands EDIT: all bags cost like €0,10 or even €0,25 eurocents (paper ones) to stimulate people to bring their own.

@JazMatt1 4 года назад

I live in Canada and my specific county banned black garbage bags about 15-20 years ago, clear bags/blue bags only to enforce proper waste sorting. Composting has been done in my family for decades before it was mandatory. I'm always surprised when I remember not all countries and even not all provinces have a deposit on bottles (except milk) to encourage recycling.

@catchmetonite 4 года назад

East_Coast I didn’t know all provinces did not have a bottle deposit that crazy to me! It’s so strange to me when I go to others cities and they have plastic bags now

@JazMatt1 4 года назад

Rachel_victoria we do all bottles (juice, pop, alcohol) for refund deposit in NS but a few years ago I couldn’t find much info for Ontario on deposits on non-alcoholic bottles. I thought all of Canada did the same. Plastic bags are still not banned yet here but hopefully this will change in the future!

@catchmetonite 4 года назад

East_Coast so weird! Everything in Alberta has a bottle deposit I believe

@ginnylalonde5053 4 года назад

In Toronto we have a small organics bin for your counter that you can line with compostable bags so you don't have to clean the bin all the time. Also a good tip is to put some newpaper underneath the liner to soak up any moisture!

@ChelisseSolaMojica 4 года назад

I transition to a safety razor & use old pill bottles to store used razors to protect the waste workers.

Micro fiber clothes instead of paper towels, 👍🏽. Cast iron and carbon steel cookware, 👍🏽

@MelissaMaeRayBayKay 4 года назад

Heidi Schemp Sometimes microfiber isn’t great because it can get into the water stream during laundry and pollute the ocean just fyi :)

@kaylag9579 4 года назад

Actually dont use micro fiber cloths they leach plastic into our water ways. A lot of people dont know that. I use cut up old clothes of my favorite cheese cloths as paper towels or you can buy unpaper paper towels from wellearthgoods.com/

My fave celebrity couple! More videos of Roo, Mike’s cooking, and fridge tours please!

@alondramoya465 4 года назад

I love that you're leaning towards a more eco friendly lifestyle! Taking that step is super important, however I do think being eco friendly doesn't mean "toss all plastic I have and buy more stuff." Utilizing what you already have creates less waste. It defeats the purpose of becoming eco friendly by tossing things you have. Just a thought.

@Stephanie_rd 4 года назад

Yeah donating or recycling the plastic is a good idea too

@jr18181 4 года назад

@staceyonekawa5283 4 года назад

Thanks for posting with Mike. I’m trying to teach the men in my family about this with more arguments then anything else. We need so much more awareness!

@JenAtkin 4 года назад

Mike’s so good at it! Being conscious shouldn’t be a gender thing

@tammir6236 4 года назад

Stacey Onekawa i tried eliminating plastic water bottles for a year... I finally threatened my husband with--- the next box, bottle etc you bring into this house, I will pour it down the drain... no more plastic AND I made sure to get a new fridge with a water system... I know the filters are an issue but until we can afford to put in a system ,that’s better than plastic bottles🤷‍♀️🇨🇦❤️

@eliskacharlottew.2408 4 года назад

Other tips: when going grocery shopping I bring my own reusable cloth bags& when ordering groceries we choose to have a delivery without bags! AND when buying cleaning supplies, go for the eco-brands like 7th generation! (plant based, non-toxic, and still get the job done!)

@olivia.anelise 4 года назад

Love this!

@mhpora 4 года назад

Thanks for your video! I would add that the first thing to say to people is to keep their stuff! Don't throw away good functioning products, even if they are in plastic because that would completely defeat the purpose. Don't "switch", only "replace" if need be. x

@JenAtkin 4 года назад

yep! I've noted this in the description 😉

@DS-tw9ls 4 года назад

I wish Jenn would have mentioned the Brita water filters. Their filter is delicious and can be recycled through their own program which gives you discounts!

@JenAtkin 4 года назад

Yes! We have them

@merycerutti 4 года назад

I love when they encourage being more eco-conscious and then bring up Amazon lol

@lilmami4lyfe867 3 года назад

"We don't need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly. We need millions of people doing it imperfectly." Amazon is more available for some people. Some more ethical websites can cause people to turn off of the eco conscience lifestyle.

@Glo2GoSprayTan_danielle 4 года назад

@liliebobadilla1467 4 года назад

Just recently learned of jute dish scrubbers that are compostable. Waiting on it to come in the mail to crochet some and use instead of disposable dish sponge. I make my own mesh produce bags and have been using wool dryer balls for several years now. Also use cloth napkins at dinner time and unpapertowels for clean up. It’s feels so good to save Mother Earth.

@eliskacharlottew.2408 4 года назад

I haven't even finished the video yet and I wanted to let you know how excited I am to hear about your eco-friendly / sustainable tips!! This is so important and i'm SO HAPPY you're using your platform to spread knowledge about how to be more eco-friendly!!! yay! I STAN! Edit:ok i finished it and we also have the little compost bin too! TRULY it doesn't smell lol!

@TheMiltonMeadow 4 года назад

I have a small counter top compost bin which I empty into a larger 5 gallon bucket which gets picked up weekly by a service. In Philly we don’t have a compost network yet but some cities do or you can drop off at the farmers market. I use my coffee grounds to fertilize my fig trees as well as egg shells to help my orchids constantly bloom. The next thing you guys should do is look into solar panels, Tesla has nice looking ones.

@JenAtkin 4 года назад

great ideas!

@kacymah93 4 года назад

That intro!! Hahaha - in my house we use small towels to clean the kitchen spills instead of paper towels, we always recycle everything plastic/cardboard, and instead of ziplock we use Pyrex/tubberware. Idk if it's an Asian thing, but my grandpa and other family members have had a combined colander thing like that since I was a little kid :)

@lishamartinez1946 2 года назад

@JulieNick28 4 года назад

@JazMatt1 4 года назад

I live in Canada and my specific county in my province (state) banned black garbage bags about 15-20 years ago, clear bags/blue bags only to enforce proper waste sorting. I wish more areas in Canada would have the same regulations. Composting has been done in my family for decades before it was mandatory. I'm always surprised when I remember not all countries and even not all Canadian provinces have a deposit on bottles (juice, pop, water, alcohol ) to encourage recycling, we have been doing it since 1990s.

@JenAtkin 4 года назад

@KaraRobinson412 Год назад

I'm guessing you're in NS? I was out there for several weeks this summer at a friend's place, and had to adjust to the no black bag rule, as clear/blue are only for recyclables in ON.

I don’t consume any meats. I do not visit Starbucks anymore because of single use waste. When I fly, I decline the drink (plastic cup) because I have my own water bottle. I have reusable shopping and ziplock bags and also wash my disposable ones. I always turn down styrofoam and I‘ve never purchased paper plates. I also take my own real fork/spoon to work lol. Small things that add up. ☺️

@JenAtkin 4 года назад

Love this! I’m giving up red meat (then hopefully the rest)

@Razzles819 4 года назад

Love this video! Great ideas! My house is huge on recycling, which is great, but we still use a ton of plastic bottles. I need to switch to glass. And those dryer balls seem like a great idea - we use so many dryer sheets and I honestly never even thought about the impact they have on the environment or even with us breathing in the chemicals. Thanks, Jen!

@lilbetzluvskelly 4 года назад

Really loved this video. I like metal straws with a silicon topper piece because the metal is kind of rough on the teeth. I will definitely be on the lookout for wool dryer balls and glass Tupperware when I need to get some more 🌱 Interested in trying composting as well. Thank mike for sharing the pale with the carbon filter to help with the smell 💚

@elainewithad3250 4 года назад

The Full Circle Clean Again cleaning cloths from the Container Store are great. They are made from 80% recycled material and can be thrown in the washing machine. They’re a good substitute for paper towels and really inexpensive. I’ve been using them during quarantine since paper towels have been tough to find in stores, but I plan to continue using them.

@tracychampion 4 года назад

Disposable is the dishwasher lol. I love disposable bags I may look into these Reusable bags. I mostly need freezer disposable bags though . The wool dryers balls leave my clothes damp because the wool balls take so long to dry not a good option for me. I get glass containers from Tjmaxxx.. I miss that store . Mike did Jen cut your hair looks good. Some of these items are cool but they are kind of small. I like the compost idea but farmers market aren’t everywhere in NYC. Good video!

@jasminecalderon4990 4 года назад

I'm always confused on the glass vs compostable debate. Since glass breaks and takes a million years to decompose, is it really more eco friendly than using a single use compostable item that maybe takes more energy to create? I'm genuinely open to opinions and suggestions.

@JenAtkin 4 года назад

it’s definitely more nuanced but for something like water bottles we don’t really ever have to throw them away x dont need to worry about them decomposing

@jasminecalderon4990 4 года назад

JEN ATKIN Yes, definitely! The only reason why I bring it up is because I tend to drop things and worry about what i’d do with the broken pieces after. I did a quick google search and it looks like certain types of non-coated glass can be melted down and used again so I’ll just do some research before I purchase. Thank you!

@vickyrieckmann6595 4 года назад

I moved to Germany and it's INSANE how wasteful the US is compared to some simple consumer changes in Germany. No plastic bags when shopping, you have to bring your own bag, also return your plastic bottles for 25 cents "pfand," most of the garbage gets recycled one way or another (organic, paper, plastics, etc). Returning to the US is such a backwards culture shock seeing styrofoam cups and so much single use plastic.

@whatsnikkidoing 4 года назад

Just a little constructive feedback, you said that you bought some things from amazon and while they are reusable products, the way that they were made is also something to think about. Making the switches is great and educating people too, but make sure that the places you buy from (for the future and anyone else reading this) is also eco friendly otherwise it’s kind of a similar situation to companies that greenwash (essentially fake ecofriendly).

@lks6340 4 года назад
