@redzeppelin24 5 лет назад

Yeah can’t afford.

@nairabee245 5 лет назад

Honestly I get it. But sometimes zero waste isn’t so much buying new and more environmentally friendly but just consuming less. If you still use plastic body washes and all that, don’t have 20 different variations of a scent or a collection or something. Stretch that one plastic bottle as long as you can and recycle it if you can. Are there parts of your makeup, skincare, shower routine that you don’t need? Some people don’t need to prime and bake, or don’t need 4 different cleansers. Instead of individual makeup wipes, maybe try oil cleansing and then rinsing and washing off. Buy second hand and make swaps where you can. Like refillable water bottles, reusable bags for shopping, metal or glass food containers, menstrual cups if u can afford the upfront cost etc etc. Honestly just simply being a more conscious consumer is enough sometimes and thinking before you bring anything into your home helps a lot. And a lot of swaps are free/cheap.

@Iheartjareddiamond 5 лет назад

it sucks bc if you’re not in a bigger city these products are way harder to find. The government needs to step in and mandate that these companies reuse and make products biodegradable and use less and recycled packaging.

@elaineemartini1233 5 лет назад

Ashley Miller then stop eating meat. That’s one way you can help

@Iheartjareddiamond 5 лет назад

Elainee Martini I only eat fish and turkey at this point and haven’t eaten dairy/any cow products in years. I’m just saying it’s very hard for an individual to make a big difference bc of how large scale these issues are. I will always support anyone trying to live a more green lifestyle and I do my best in my life as well.

@megangould2461 5 лет назад

Sephora sells a few of these, elate os an online store with affordable shipping.

@andreawyant5512 5 лет назад

YupYup--I was going to say, companies respond to market demand. I understand at first it might add to logistics for shipment, but finding products like these on Amazon (minus the refillable shops) and purchasing them overall tells the market where you want to place your money. When you support and shop small (and green!) the market will respond. It may take a while, but the change will come with each individual that acts on it. Every person makes a large difference, over time :)

@ZhaliaNovantaquattro 5 лет назад

You’re right, Ashley, but -in my opinion- everyone should start to do what they can. - Use mobile for taking notes instead of waste paper - Use compact soap instead of liquid - Use reusable bags for shopping - Don’t drink with straw - Discover some DIY beauty hacks - Cook instead of buy prepared meal at the supermarket - Bring your own tumbler to refill around - Do not use paper/plastic for eat and drink I think this is a great way to begin to care more about how we act on this planet, also is from the little steps that changes happen 😉

It is a massive failing on the part of the media to perpetuate the idea that individuals are responsible for the environmental problems we face. Yes, it’s important to live sustainably. Yes, there are lifestyle changes you can make that make small impacts. But let’s not forget that the bulk of the responsibility falls on industry and policy decisions. We need to start holding companies and industries accountable! Also, the recycling symbol is not a Möbius loop but I appreciate the effort to bring attention to cool math stuff!

@sylahjane 5 лет назад

you can do that through your purchases tho

@nairabee245 5 лет назад

Kyle Marie the responsibility is on both. Simply putting it on corporations and the government exempts the consumer too much. We elect these people into office and we tell businesses what to do when we give them our money. There are many changes people can make in their everyday life to reduce their carbon footprint. Yes a lot of the blame lies not with the consumer but 🤷🏾‍♀️ oh well. While change comes around we still have to do everything in our power to make things better. And most people don’t even bother thinking about doing the bare minimum. So consumers need to do a lot better and do need to be blamed. Because the little we can do isn’t even being done.

@Faby07aleixo 5 лет назад

@@nairabee245 actually, majority of the blame does falls on the and of the manufactures, since they are the ones making plastic package because is cheaper than doing glass/aluminium/cardboard ones. we didn't have this probelm before, because a lot of products where made with more sutenable packaging, but now, because of the oil industry, who sells barrels of oil super cheap, plastic is everywhere. butthere are other ways to make plastic that is biodegradable (such as plastic made by brazilians with sugar cane).You have to understand that as long as the oil industry is comanding most of the economy, there won't be less plastic on the world. It would not matter if consumers want less plastic,because it will be the only (affordable) option we have.

@nairabee245 5 лет назад

Faby07aleixo I’m aware where the responsibility falls. And actual responsibility from both corporations and the government in terms of legislation would be great. Until that miracle happens, they’re are plenty of things consumers can do to make things better. Including putting pressure on these institutions to change. My point was that admitting who’s actually responsible doesn’t exempt you from doing your part. Yes it’s not our fault but there’s still a LOT consumers can do and they don’t even do the bare minimum sometimes.

@Faby07aleixo 5 лет назад

@@nairabee245 agreed, but is still ingenuity thinking that consumers asking for less plastic will make a multibillionaire industry change.

@freya5970 5 лет назад

This is an amazing video with an amazing message, and its great that more people are doing this. However we have to recognise that it is the big corporations who need to change, and don't feel guilty if you can't live like this: it's near impossible if you don't live somewhere like NYC or LA. Zero waste can be expensive and while it is a positive message the real change has to be made by amazon and apple etc. who are producing a large amount of waste. All this said it is a great step people are making and I encourage this 100%, but we don't need to blame ourselves for mistakes big corporations are making. :)

@BlackBerryTrees 5 лет назад

FforFreya hey! Great point! As consumers we can also influence these companies with our purchasing power, supporting products and companies that DO make a difference. And another point, that making your own products saves you money (but it costs you time). So it isn’t necessarily more expensive although there definitely is a misconception about this.

@alysham4n4l0 5 лет назад

the only solution I have in my state I KNOW for sure is to shop at like Lush, and they also recycle all of there pots! They are also very expensive and I would have to drive all the way to town (20-30 miles) to get stuff there.

@annoyedbyyourface 5 лет назад

@@BlackBerryTrees And there's a big misconception that time doesn't = money. For poor people and disabled people, it does! Hell, some could argue that's the case for everyone lol! I digress. There are more people in the world who are busy working to survive that they don't have the luxury to take time to make beauty products. And let's not forget those of us who take longer to do certain tasks (or simply, can't) because we have different levels of mobility. So no, the idea that homemade (beauty) products are more expensive is not a misconception - *it's a fact for a lot of people when you factor in physical labor and time.*

@carolinereize2868 5 лет назад

FforFreya Yes definitely! Big corporations and the Government have to step in and make it easier for everyone to live a sustainable lifestyle. It shouldn’t be this difficult and expensive. I actually live in South Korea and the government recently banned Plastic Straws from Coffee Shops and using Plastic Cups when staying in the Coffeeshop and it has made so much impact. All Coffee shops now use cups and glasses, Less straws and paper straws, and personally I found to actually get plastic take out cups way less than before, since its also forbidden to ride the bus with open cups.

@ruthaxford582 4 года назад

you're absolutely right! big business, usually run by many people you will see on the radical side of politics ( think blue) are saying that going green is the new way of life and they only talk and never act. Once they step in and up to make their products and actions more sustainable, the average person will have a difficult time being eco-aware and also not breaking the bank. The government needs to stop letting these companies control and influence them, open their eyes and see what needs to be done in order to be resource-wise, but also economically smart.

If you have a bareMinerals boutique nearby they also work with Terracycle. You can bring in any makeup or skincare product and you get rewarded points. The only bad thing is that technically they can only process 5 recyclables per visit because it would equal to having spent $5 in the store, but sometimes the employees will be able to scan more. :-) The program is available across the country, even in California where it’s typically harder to recycle cosmetics.

@elspethchalmers8061 5 лет назад

Do you need to be wealthy to be zero waste? What Lauren says is true: this lifestyle can cut costs for some and there is always room for small improvements. That said, it is a luxury to choose to live with less or to choose to repair or reuse or make due. That choice in and of itself represents privilege. I appreciate you making mention of it since that aspect of this lifestyle is often ignored.

@cultivatedkale2009 5 лет назад

Any progress is good progress! It's free to bring your own cup and utensils. You can reuse plastic bags. And if someone can't afford some of these luxury products, one could add an extra day between hair washes, shavings, using less product (as an example, I used to put on deodorant before bed, as but I realized that it was unnecessary, so I stopped), use solid products as much as possible (vs. liquid), etc.

Terry Pratchett’s boot theory does a GREAT job of illustrating this. One pair of nice, high quality boots will last at least a decade. Buying cheap shoes, and lots of them over that time, will cost way more money but you need to have the startup funds to buy the nice boots. Poor people who need boots right now can’t save for those nice boots, so they keep buying the cheaper option. You can always cut some sources of waste, but-as you said-a Lot of “sustainable” products are luxuries.

Thank you for this video! I love the fact that many people in different industries are trying to lower their plastic use and/or educating themselves and other!! One tip for conditioner to make it easier to use is to cut it/slice it, mix it with water and put it into a bottle (a glass bottle/jar or even a plastic bottle if you have one already).

Everyone needs to take their own small steps in zero waste. Don’t feel pressured to change ur entire life around. If there are things u just can’t live without due to all kinds of reasons.. look into other things u can live without. Not everyone can live zero waste in this time. But we can at least all try to make some changes

You can donate mascara wands to an animal shelter, they use they to brush out mites, dirt and what not.

If you dont live somewhere that has a refillable soap dispenser you can also use bar soap that is packaged in paper! Usually local artisan soap stores sell their soaps with either no packaging or wrapped in paper since its handmade

@AdrianaOrtiz-ff7mx 5 лет назад

Or even just bar soap from the super market that’s packaged in cardboard and not shrink wrapped! My local Walmart sells single bars of dove soap, and it’s just the soap and the recyclable box. I’ll normally by three or four at a time instead of getting the multipacks that are kept together with thin plastic

I had an internship with TerraCycle my last semester of college and it really was a great environment to work in, not only did I learn a lot for my field (PR) but it pushed me to want to work for environmental companies or atleast incorporate those habits into my life more (I've always been like that too and it drives me nuts how terrible of a job local municipalities do of accepting materials).

What about the sustainability or ethicalness of ingredients? Like mica in your highlighter

We're quite fortunate in the UK that our most of our local councils provide each household with a bin for normal waste and one for recycling free of charge & in my case they pick them up on alternate weeks. Some councils will even provide a box for glass bottles & jars or one for garden waste like hedge trimmings. But there isn't enough information about local recycling drop off points though.

I always think about the waste I create when doing my makeup. Thanks for reading my mind!

@McGan19 5 лет назад

Thank you for this great video! The best way to start reducing waste without spending too much on package free products would be to use up everything that you already have. Especially for make up and beauty products, it can take several months before using them up, as Mi Anne was mentioning when talking about her toner in this video. This makes the transition to low waste lifestyle much easier :)

@milkrock. 4 года назад

Thank you for bringing up the bit of not purchasing a toner because you already have so much you could use. The funny thing is, zero waste is becoming a marketing trend, people end up buying more containers (for example), when they already have perfectly good plastic container at home they could use. Or "I need a new eco friendly handmade blush!" -- No, you already have one. Finish that first. We generally buy too much of everything. Truthfully, it IS very daunting where to start. I personally started with my own closet, and I still do a purge almost every 3 months. I still think I have too much, yet at the same time, I don't want to throw to get rid of them because then, I end up buying.. again. Makeup became easier because it has expirations. I also realized there were shades and colors that were so gorgeous but doesn't get any use. I gave them away or sold them. And this made me realize people are open to 2nd hand stuff! Eventually, I take notes of what I have and not be tempted to buy more. It's just about getting used to saying to self, "nah I already have one or two of those" x

@kristaw206 5 лет назад

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH for talking about this. It's so wonderful to see an organization such as Refinery29 with such a huge following bringing this up. It's pushed so much to the wayside with our current makeup-on-the-internet obsessed culture and what seems like hundreds of beauty gurus telling us to BUY BUY BUY. Thanks for being one of the firsts to finally tell people to wake up.

lush have solid foundations called slapsticks, they also have solid concealers, highlighters and refillable lipsticks. These products are available online and in some select stores such as Liverpool, Poole, Oxford street, Birmingham - not sure about other countires.

@HausofEbon 5 лет назад

I always recycle. Might try that eyeliner. Also you can also donate your mascara wands to organizations that help save animals from oil spills. They use the wands to clean the oil and pests from the animal’s fur.

@gabbyvegify 5 лет назад

I really do appreciate this video. I have been trying to go low-waste for a while now and have been doing a lot of research on sustainable beauty brands. I would love if you would do a video on how how you clean and recycle all your products at the end of life. I would also love to see a video on you testing out some more sustainable brands, especially the ones on Etsy.
