I think getting used to stuff that has stains, tears, imperfections is important too. Don’t throw out rugs, curtains, bags etc… when they look a little bit rough.

Woah, this was a really interesting video! I love listening to them while I crochet :) Question, if youre looking for content could you possibly do a short about sun drying clothes? Warmer weather is coming and Ive been thinking of trying, but I typically do a LOT of laundry at once and dont have a lot of ample space to hang things in the actual sun-

are you serious? my hair dye 4 times a year isn't killing the planet. I also source my dye from a company that doesn't use toxic chemicals. HOnestly, I do things much worse for the environment: use electricity, drive a truck, use an iphone and tech to upload this video. I doubt you're perfect so stop judging me for not being perfect. The definition of environmentalist doesn't include perfection, it just says you have to care about the planet and I do. I'm not going to give up every thing that brings me joy when giving up hair dye isn't going to stop climate change!

That purple dye goes into the ground, it doesnt disappear. Its just one thing you can do to help while you're on your soap box . Very hypicritical. Its a fad your gen does and it looks stupid. Pls reconsider
