Im always happy if someone with a large influence like buzzfeed tries to raise awareness to care for our planet!!! Please more 😻😻😻

Which they do way too little off whilst advocating fast fashion

@amandasongchannel99 6 лет назад

In Norway we "pant" or drinking bottles. If a bottle water is 2 dollars and 20 cents, the 20 cents would be the pant (usually it's between 10-25 cents depending on the size of the bottle). After a while you will have a bunch of these bottles saved up, and that's when the pant comes in use. Because in our food stores we have a machine that takes back all these bottles, before they are sent for recycling, and when you pant your bottle you get back the pant you paid (10-25 cents). Therefore more people recycle.

@tarahelou2491 6 лет назад

Amandas songchannel they do that in cans and water bottles in California! its called CRV. Wish we had something for shampoo, cosmetics, etc.

@amandasongchannel99 6 лет назад

we only do drinking stuff (I probably didn't specify that enough, hehe my bad). But yeah that would be awesome.

@amandasongchannel99 6 лет назад

wish more people had CRV tho

@sashamassey8385 6 лет назад

I seriously wish this was practiced in America

@Mathittude 6 лет назад

They do it in Sweden, Denmark and (I think) Germany too. Probably other places in Europe as well. In Denmark, the Pant system has recently been expanded, so they now accept almost all kinds of bottles of cans even if they don't have the Pant logo on them.

@eviesharp17 6 лет назад

personally as someone who shops at lush (I know it’s not accessible to everyone) I take the black tops from the bottles back and then recycle the plastic bottles. I also save the black pots and take 5 at a time back for a free face mask.

@sarakoeller7594 6 лет назад

does it work for sample sizes???

@gayhowl 6 лет назад

they accept the sample cups, you just don't get the free facemask but you still help them recycle!

@ellie-di7cv 6 лет назад

Does it work in UK stores??

@EvieBats2 6 лет назад

But lush is expensive and their cosmetics are really bad lmao. I’ve tried the lipstick and eyeliner and I hated them! And their face powers are just so dry

My mom always takes the pumps off the empties and keeps them for our other shower products.

@julietrosner9839 6 лет назад

Its really easy to clean lotion and conditioner out of a bottle if you put in a bit of water and a bit of dish soap and shake it around. The sodium laurel sulfate in the dish soap will break down the silicones in the lotion or conditioner (typically dimethicone). Silicones are hydrophobic which is what makes them so difficult to rinse away.

@classycassie1118 6 лет назад

Pour some hot water into the bottles. Shake them up. Dump water out. Repeat until water runs clear. Boom! Clean bottles that can now be recycled. Good to know about the orgins thing.

@lawa3295 6 лет назад

Cassie Best Ever! I don't know how it works in other countries, but in Germany you explicitly should not wash your plastics. Just because the impact to the environment due to the waste of water is worse than letting them be cleaned during the recycling process. Same applies to using a dishwasher instead of doing the dishes by hand. The dishwasher cleans far more effectively.

@FabyVlogs 6 лет назад

instead of tossing the last diluted bit of shampoo down the drain, use it to wash you hair. its still shampoo ;)

@ia490 6 лет назад

Faby yes!! It saves water too because then you don't need to use so much to make it bubble

@AditiChhawry 6 лет назад

You're right. Since even shampoos contain chemicals that are not environment friendly, using that last bit ensures there is less product used. Because its one more time you didn't use a new bottle. That is another way to care for the environment.

@Annie I live by coconut oil! For my empties, Lush do a bring back 5 pots get a free face mask. Or I turn them into cacti planters, or just reuse and fill them with other products.

More green content!!!yayy

@ash.ashley3719 6 лет назад

Or u can wash the containers and reuse them like for example a homemade facemask and all sorts of things. i do this all the time and it makes me feel good by reuseing something for another purpose

@daniellevaughans4144 6 лет назад

I like when buzzfeed makes informational videos like these 🤷🏾‍♀️ It’s just very helpful yet it keeps me interested

@bcaye 6 лет назад

Buy a pair of strong scissors. Cut the container open. Use the rest of the product, then recycle the container. Simple. For shampoo/conditioner/body wash, even simpler. When only a bit of product is left, dilute with water and after 1-2 more uses, rinse and recycle. Also, recycling has advanced to the point that many items don't have to be perfectly clean.

@morganmyers3346 6 лет назад

I'm so glad this video was made! I'm in the middle of moving and I finally have to recycle my beauty products that I've tried out but haven't used up. I have tried shelters, but used products are not accepted (understandable). I've asked friends as well and gave away a few, but many are unclaimed.

@missarchaeologist 6 лет назад

Here in Iceland, every household has two seperate rubbish bins - one for regular trash and metal which you separate in a little clear bag, and the "green bin" for carboard (e.g. packaging, pizza boxes, newspapers etc.) and plastic (again packaging, e.g. shampoo and other plastic bottles, cling film/saran wrap, etc.). Some have an organic bin which you'll use for any food remains or peels. We recycle almost everything, and have huge stations for that. So this way, you can take jars, furniture, tires, electronics, and so much more there and then dispose of in a categorised, orderly fashion. Plastic, aluminium, and glass drinking bottles come with a pant; money back when you take them for recycling. We even collect the little aluminium containers from tea lights in a separate little bin. Some towns have a mandatory recycling within the household of EVERYTHING (as in, you have to have all three bins, and have to categorise everything). Thank you for an educational video. Hopefully it is only one of many to come.

@grace1458 6 лет назад

sara's videos always have their own unique kinda vibe? different use of text and illustrations and a kind of homemade feel that you don’t often get in buzzfeed content? it’s very chill and very watchable and i really dig it 💕

@hikaru-live 6 лет назад

Shampoo and body wash still works even if moderately diluted, so you can put some water into the bottle to flush the remaining contents out and use it as-is. Most of other products can have its container cut open allowing you to scrape the remains off the container wall and scoop them out. Some brands offer refills of various products using a reduced package, choose those if you have a bottle that can hold the product.

@chvv7776 6 лет назад

*They should make in Europe that program. Maybe in Sephora, NYC and other popular shops. That would be so amazing!!!*

@yms4355 6 лет назад

I have troubled skin and I LOOOOVE Ordinary serums. They don't contain any extra packaging and they have the purest ingredients you can find. I personally LOVE them because you can use the serums for everything and dilute them as you please.

@recoil53 6 лет назад

@StaciMariePP 6 лет назад

Pacifica also has a packaging recycling program where they will send you a free USPS shipping label to send your empties back. They don't take back packaging for all the products they sell, but they do take a lot back.

@AnnaG-to2ke 6 лет назад

Lush makes it really easy to be greener, you can recycle the bottles etc back to them, and they have solid bar products so you aren't creating extra packaging. Also they are cruelty free, bonus!

@mollymenard6057 6 лет назад

Also *fun fact* you can save some plastic water bottles (AND BEER BOTTLES + OTHER BOTTLES// CANS you can exchange too) and recycle them at some places (look up your state and see where you can return them- it’s different for almost every state!) when you return them you get 5 cents for each bottle. So if you get some old trash bags and you put 100 in each one that can add up quickly!

@hashtagspatz 6 лет назад

For me it's so weird that all those things go to landfill in the US. In Vienna, where I live, everything is burned and converted into heat and electric for the city.

@mhurtou 6 лет назад

Pippi Langstrumpf they burn plastic?

@hashtagspatz 6 лет назад

Anne Smith Yes. There is a system for recycling plastic which can be recycled. (Also glass, metal, paper and organic waste is recycled). The rest is burned in a big factory, the heat is used for heating or electricity, the smoke is contained is special filter material which is then also processed to regain different chemicals.

6 лет назад

Pippi Langstrumpf Oh it's good the smoke is contained! I was going to say, plastic fumes are pretty nasty.

@hashtagspatz 6 лет назад

Camilla Esmé Oh yes, of course, the smoke would be horrible if it wouldn't be filtered.

@hikaru-live 6 лет назад

As of pumps, they are very likely standardized and interchangeable maybe except for the siphon. Rinse them clean, and you will be able to reuse them down the road on another bottle. Some brand sells the same products with and without a pump, if you already had a matching pump you can buy the one without the pump, circumventing the recycling rule and maybe save a few cents.

@rhythmrecall 6 лет назад

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! We need recycling education now more than ever. Thank you for using your platform to get the word out!!!

@lisaenerdal8457 6 лет назад

I just realised that Sweden is probably the only place where we have recycling centers literally everywhere. I live on a small island with 10 000 ppl (about 35min from Stockholm) and we have at least 3 recycling centers just on the island.

@kiragerald9437 6 лет назад

@kylieheh 6 лет назад

Now we just need to remember to recycle all types of plastic bags/packaging. Most supermarkets have a bag recycling box where you can drop off all your used materials! Lots of other items can be recycled here too, ziplock bags, plastic wrapping like the kind that comes on toilet paper, and many others. Check online for specifics for your state 😊

@dlaity107 6 лет назад

Great concept, but I'm always concerned that so much of the discussion that does happen in the media generally cites statistics that do not include home-recycling and kind of suggest that recycling is somehow external of the individual (for example, so many suggest that you need to check what public schemes your area has) and there isn't so much on the personal responsibility for individuals to apply the three Rs at home. Also I would love to see people being encouraged to educate themselves on what plastics the packaging in their homes are made from and encouragement to ring and write to their companies (and lobby their representatives at all levels of government) and insist on vegetable (compostable) plastics versus other plastics. This is one of the better pieces I've seen, but I'd love to see a follow-up that addresses some of this extra stuff.

@delectablebeans 6 лет назад

@AoyamaMisaIchigo 6 лет назад

L'Occitane en Provence works with Terracycle too. Depending on your location you may be able to give them all your packagings or only the plastic ones, and you get 10% off on a new product. This next one may depend on your country but I know in France (where I live) Sephora accepts empty perfume bottles (from any store) and gives you 20% off on a new perfume. I couldn't find anything for the US but maybe it depends on the shop?
