That first video is my favorite. So realistic. Just do the best you can, aesthetic can come later if it’s important to you, but damn, just try to do your best. Remember 71% of emissions and human driven climate change is due to 100 companies alone, so don’t beat yourself up over not being net positive. 💜💜
I stoped using google and started using eco friendly search engines that help the environment by planting trees or cleaning the ocean. Ecosia-plants trees Oceanhero- cleans the ocean
People need to also remember not to buy eco friendly products until you need that product again for example you have a perfectly fine plastic toothbrush don’t replace it yet till you need a new one otherwise it would be a waste of plastic, instead replace it with a natural toothbrush once you need a new one
Yeah that’s so true! I still want to be eco friendly but I’ll be eco friendly next time I need things. Sometimes I feel like I’m not eco enough so I changed search engines to something eco friendly , like oceanhero and Ecosia.
Remember dont beat urself down because ur life isn't zero waste no one's life is zero waste, all u can do it change a few things here n there, n aim to do better but that doesn't mean go into zero waste ur doing ur part n be glad u r doing it😊 try to do wat u can, n just because u have a plastic hair brush doesn't mean it's bad use it till its not usable and buy a wood one or something like that💛
True so true. Sometimes I don’t think I’m eco friendly enough and I then think about the eco friendly things I’ve done! Like changing search engines to an eco friendly search engine that plants trees and cleans the ocean.
wait i just thought of something.. immigrant parents were the og eco-friendly icons. like the collecting of trash bags and the only people ik who actually use rags and those rags that soak up anything.
I have alot of clothes and feel guilty about it but i forget that probably 50% are 2nd hand from charity shops and car boots. I do buy some fast fashion but im doing my best to mend it and love it ❤
@@evan10307 I know you didn’t say this to me but I have been struggling with food at the grocery store being packaged in plastic, even bulk stores, so if you have any tips on that I would greatly appreciate it
Well, at least theres ideas to reuse plastic bags. My parents reuse plastic shopping bags all the time. We use em to pick up dog waste, i use em for my mini trash cans in my room and bathroom. Theres people out there using em to make crochet blankets and new reusable bags
@Eden's Garden oh yea I wasn’t taking about that I was talking about like wiping ur hands after u wash the dishes sorta thing (btw it’s not so cheap to get stuff where I live lol)
For any watercolor artists out there who has a few bucks to spare, I recommend trying out “Beem Paints Minjeemin Watercolor Palette” it’s a sustainable handmade watercolor brand owned by an Anong Beam. The palette itself is made out of waxed canvas, and the packaging is plastic/waste free! The process is also based on indigenous paint making techniques. Purchasing from this business supports indigenous businesses and culture, as well as promotes sustainable products! If you’re interested, I recommend you check out In Liquid Color’s review of the paints and palette.
I just went through all my clothes yesterday and I have about 20 pieces total, obv not counting underwear and such lol. I’m proud of that and not buying clothes excessively allows me to save money and buy higher quality items I really want that’ll last longer. As opposed to fast fashion which will tear or become washed out quickly. I also have a bucket in my closet where I throw ripped, washed out, discoloured or otherwise not ”socially acceptable” clothing. Those I use if I’m in the garden, painting, washing my dog, dying my hair, picking berries or doing something else that could ruin or stain my clothes. I also use them as PJs or lounge wear, no need to throw out clothes just because they’re noticably worn! If you have the space I’d recommend saving completely unusable clothes/fabric and post them in no-buy groups, some people rip them up and stuff pillows or even furniture with scrap fabrics. My local hair dresser also uses old bedsheets to protect clients’ clothes from dye and to wipe the salon floors with.
Did that lady say her bamboo toothbrushes went moldy? Well then you change for a new one! Just like you do with a plastic toothbrush! Besides, there are eco plastic toothbrushes made of plant products
😶 I'm a bit concerned for her because mold occurs on plastic surfaces too. I've had a few gross dish brushes that wouldn't drain attest to that. If bamboo toothbrushes are getting moldy, something isn't right about where and how they're being stored/dried and the same adjustments need to be made with plastic.
I don’t like the bamboo toothbrushes, the plastic ones are plastic but you have legit no reason the throw them out, you don’t need to swap, just keep using the stuff you have
Don’t worry about being perfect, being one of the millions of ppl that are imperfect.y zero waste is better than leaving it up to just a few ppl to do it perfectly
1:14 Owned by women of colour God that made me wanna punch something... It's not who owns the companies, it's the fact that we got to the point where that's needed to be said that irritates me
Yeah and "only have black artisans"...like what? What happened to diversity and inclusion? I can care less the ethnicity or race of the owner... I care about the product
