@seavee141 4 года назад

I don't think they should be a thing...bamboo is still wood and electric toothbrush heads need a strong material and metal bits inside for them to work and not break easily They would be a nightmare to compost

If you ever make your way to Boston, there's an amazing low-waste store that purposefully sources from local owners and owners from disadvantaged communities (women, people of color).

He looked at me and said "I love when you watch her videos because I know it's something you're passionate about implementing in your life. You dont just talk about it, you look for new ways to eliminate waste that you maybe hadn't considered before. You really live it". And I think I need more people like that in my life. I think I'm converting him lol

@thebarky1988 3 года назад

I work at a community outreach center. During the pandemic the company “ who gives a crap” donated boxes of toilet paper for our families. As you know many people ran out of tp. At that time. We were able to provide it to many families. Prior to that, I never heard of the company but will definitely purchase from them.

@unlonely9007 4 года назад

Thanks for sharing. So inspiring! We use cloth for toilet waste. If a clothing item is too worn to donate, or is an undergarment, I cut it up to use for cloth wipes. I hang a small bag of clean wipes on the toilet paper roll holder. Then dirty wipes go into a water proof wet bag. It zips up so no smells or leaks. Then unzip bag and dump into washer. I do feel like I should leave a disclaimer note in my bathroom for guests! Lol

@Maya-vu2qw 4 года назад

When I first found your channel, I really wanted to go zero waste but then I wasn't quite sure where to begin and I started buying a bunch of products that I didnt actually end up using very often. Then, I decided to go 100% vegan a couple weeks ago (I had quit milk and eggs but still ate dairy before that) and found that I had been struggling to find even vegetables zero waste which was really frustrating. We bought reusable produce bags but I still live with my family and don't necessarily buy my own food (I will start to soon, especially because my siblings aren't vegan). I would love it if anyone could share tips on how to juggle being low-waste and vegan especially as a student. I'm so glad that theres this community out here, and I love your content and the message that you put out there Shelbi.

@mariachristina97 4 года назад

I'm a zero waste student too! One thing I recommend is buying the produce that is in season (cheaper and more likely to be package free) and then chopping it up or cooking it and storing in the freezer.

I don't know if you will see this because this is an older video but I recommend Youth to the People. Their cleanser is great and stands in for a toner too, they are a low waste company. Also, I recommend Krave which is also a low waste company. The creator Liah Yoo is actively looking to lower the foot print of her company. Krave even has a recycle guide for each product. Some of her products like Great Barrier Relief even donates towards saving the coral reefs.

Have you ever tried “Sugaring waxing”? It’s pretty much zero waste and it last longer than saving. You basically mix sugar (vegan) and fresh lemon juice. There’s no waste and the waste created from the hair removal process can be diluted in warm water and used to water your trees or just compost it with your food scraps. Super easy and lasting results plus no harm to the earth!

@pineapple365 4 года назад

You can also use a smashed up overripe banana to exfoliate. I saw it on a vegnews article and it said to leave it on for 15 to 30 min but I only leave it on for 10 minutes because thats when my skin gets irritated and I know its ready to take off. I’ve tried the mad hippie one and different kinds of chemical exfoliants and they all make my skin feel the same way as the banana does, irritation is just normal with chemical exfoliants, as long as you wash it off the irritation should stop.

Shampoo opens your hair follicles and conditioner closes it. So conditioner is necessary but if you're fine with it alright. Also, you dont need to scrub your skin with a brush or anything, just use your finger pads to exfoliate and such. Also, razors shouldn't be by water or they'll get rusty.

It's essential for people to talk about where their food comes from and make more sustainable choices. But encouraging veganism to children is NOT OKAY. Especially for the young girls who will soon go through puberty. They need at least some animal fats and proteins to develop properly and not have lots of female health problems. Yes you can survive on a vegan diet but the next generation cannot thrive on it. Especially not women and children. Enjoy this time with your students and I hope you all learn a lot! Please just be careful and dont pressure veganism to people under 18 before they can really make the choice for themselves

i'm interested in this too but also, see if there's a community garden or community compost organisation near you - some cities have them as part of their municipal waste management. some people will also just bury their compost on vacant lots or stuff it into their plant pots or w/e but that's not for everyone

@@Liloldliz Thank you! I do drop my food scraps off at my local community garden but they will only take food scraps and not things like bamboo toothbrushes or paper compostable products.

@Liloldliz 4 года назад

@@NakiasHideaway sounds like you're doing a great job already. there's also apps like "sharewaste" where you can find people who are looking for compost!

Can't you just bury it in the ground? Serious question. I mean it's not littering if it's designed to go back into the earth. You may not have a garden or a yard but I bet you know of a place outside with dirt. A park. A cemetery. A small hole filled with your bamboo tooth brush.

Trying to go plastic free is hard for me because where i live however do what I can to be eco friendly as much as possible. I'm also teaching my child how to be eco friendly.

Love your videos I can’t seem to find anyone similar yet to your videos over here in the UK as it would be great to be able to have this much great advice about products over here. One product I have purchased through watching your videos is the pela case and I’m so happy with it! Advantage at using your discount code too so thank you very much for that. A lot of the lifestyle comes down to the individual doing research on the best products that they can get and some is trial and error but as long as your putting your best food forward, towards that lifestyle your doing your bit for the environment. :) I have also already purchased who gives a crap and found they are the best so far for toilet paper and have subscribed so they are delivered on a regular basis. :)

Not sure if anyone will see this but you should get a bidet, you only need one and it will save a lot of toilet paper

I just signed up for the free trial from who gives a crap! We just bought an 18 pack of Charmin from bj's wholesale... I've always been so annoyed with all the plastic! Here's to hoping my family will like the trial so I can get them to switch! Of course we'll "use up what we have" first! 💖😀🤗

Great Video! I've honestly never heard of brush with bamboo... my go-to bamboo toothbrush is by The Humble Co. I believe they are based out of Sweden and they provide toothbrushes for children in developing countries. I really hope they don't drop ship though -- I'll have to check that out. There was one brand of bamboo toothbrush I ordered and it came wrapped in plastic packaging. Feels like it totally negates the whole point of buying a bamboo toothbrush LOL. Greenwashing runs rampant.

Other than repurposing, what do you do with your toothbrushes when they're done? Pull out the bristles and compost?

@thekiwinka 4 года назад

Hannah Fountain you can either pull out the bristles or break off the head of the toothbrush to compost the body of it

Loved this updated vid shelb! Thanks for sharing. I'm curious, what do you have in your shower plants water that is making it look dark brown? Pebbles? Also I saw someone else mentioned it but the crystal salt rock deodorant has been working pretty well for me! Still in plastic, but I have seen better alternatives in cardboard online! Keep it up girl, I still look forward to your vids every week! 🥰😋

@AK-uf6cq 4 года назад

I use a toothbrush that I got as a gift and the bristles are made up of activated charcoal, bamboo fibers, and food starches. The company claims they’re eco friendly and all that but idk how legitimate the company is lol. Idk how legitimate the bristles are as well 😂. I’m just gonna keep using the toothbrush until I need to replace it.

If you try a bidet you feel so clean specially during the time of the month and if you use toilet paper it would be just to pat dry toilet paper would last for a year or more.
