Sandra Fuentes I agree with your tap water statement. Thankfully I live in an area in Canada where my tap water is safe to drink. Most of Canada is except for a few indigenous communities which is sad. I lived in Ecuador for a year and there we had to drink bottled, people forget that many countries don’t have regular access to clean water.

I did disposables with my first and cloth with my second. Buying a whole nappy system is a massive upfront cost, but it’s not all or nothing. I started with reusable wipes (and I’d never go back they work sooooo much better), then I added a few daytime nappies, when they were all dirty I washed and used disposable until they were dry. Then each month I added a little more. Now my daughter is nearly 12 months I’ve only just added final night nappies to be 100% reusable and compared to what I would have spent on 100% disposable I’m close to breaking even. The next year or two only cost a couple extra washes a week. Time is a different factor, I’m currently taking a cloth break because I have no childcare or adult support during lockdown so I get time pressures, but again it’s not all or nothing. As for having the stomach for it, disposables leak poo far, far more often than cloth. You can’t escape someone else’s bodily fluids when you’re a parent no matter what options you choose!

It depends on the herbs. Basil for example is just planted to tight. You can take the plants out of the pot and split those up into three to four pots. Welcome to your own basil forrest. It's always a good idea to repot bought herbs. Also know how to cut the stems, so the plant can keeps growing. Some plants like mint are hard to kill. Even if it looks quite dead, the roots are strong and keep producing new stems and leaves after a while, but others don't (like basil).

I noticed that the plants my mum took home from the supermarket every now and then were always wilting after a short time. And I think it depends on the fact that supermarkets have a different temperature than our house, bc it's either very low or a bit hot due to air conditioning. The best thing is probably to get plants from farmers and gardeners.

Still do your research and see if you can provide that animal with a good home because they are mostly dropped off because they are too big (for turtles) but many parrots that have escaped are there too, so just a note!

A lot of zero waste stops have actually made my life more convenient. Bringing my own utensils means I don’t have to walk through a sea of people across the cafeteria to get plastic ones. Reusable water bottles usually hold more water and allow me to carry water with me all day. Bringing my own lunch is healthier and I get to eat foods I enjoy. Don’t even get me started on reusable (metal) pencils. Pricier at first, but for the first time I haven’t needed to replace my pencils every week. It easier to write because of the heavier weight of the pencil, and it’s helped me save money in the long run. Love the recommendations in this video! Remember just by making a few small changes, you are making a positive impact on the world :) Edit: I forgot about this but I’ve reduced my dairy consumption greatly and not only has it helped the way my body feels, but it has improved my skin so much!

Now is the PERFECT time to plant salads: rocket, watercress, leaves, lettuce - it saves so much money and packaging. They don't like high summer, so get cracking NOW! Partial shade, light drizzly rain, good drainage, pick little and often. Wilkos is still open ...

To make it simple (I’m just talking about myself, could be different for others), I identify as a more androgynous being. As many non-cisgender people, I underwent a period of “hyper feminization”, since I was born with a female’s body... I thought people would like me more if I dressed more feminine.

I love the last one, I always got upset when I wasn’t able to choose the more sustainable option but you’re completely right. Even a few changes can have a big impact and when more options become available - go for them!

Pick up anything dropped that can be reused - such as handkerchiefs, hair ties, gloves etc. The husband and I once even found a plastic tupperware box that we now use at the zero waste bulk shop. Try to repurpose anything you possibly can to prevent it going to landfill. The ziplock bags that our cheese came in is now a reusable bag for chocolate chips.

I accidently stumbled upon you just now and I luv you! Really! I am 66 yrs old and learned a lot of these long ago from frugal parents who grew up poor in the depression era. I hate waste and I luv your style. A little fast talking for an old southern woman, but since I like you so well, I'll adapt my hearing of what I can find of you. I am a little overwhelmed with too many things right now, so I like the comment, use what you can and leave the rest. I do upcycle and repurpose what I can. We sell at the local flea market and I donate the rest. Very little do I actually send to the dump. I have been trying to declutter and organize. I lost my son almost 2 yrs ago. The grieving process is so strong. But he was my last immediate family member left so I am trying to remove everything I can live without. I do not want to leave all my things for my husband to hoard thinking they meant the world to me. Especially since I'm still trying to do all the sorting from my parents belongings. I really appreciated the board for the bees in the last video. We live in the country and have a lot of carpenter bees. Great suggestions for the ones without homes. Come to me at just the right time. Spring here in USA, Al. Thank you for all your suggestions! gt

Hey! Loved the video! I'm going to try to implement these tips into my everyday life. Some other tips include: if you need to use batteries, opt for rechargeable ones; reuse the plastic bags you get from grocery stores if you don't have a reusable one (this also includes the clear ones for produce). This also can save you money from buying reusable bags if you don't want to spend money or can't find a good quality one (cause why buy something that isnt good quality?)

It's healthier (no preservatives), much much more delicious (since it's fresh), and more sustainable since there are non stick loaf pans and there's no packaging needed to store it!

Thank you for all the great tips.

Absolutely ✨ video! Thanks Immy! 💖

You're such a nice youtuber. I been binge watching your videos. Can't believe what a kind person you are. Lots of love from Argentina!

Videos like this always makes me happy , got tones of ideas to reduce my waste footprint , thankyou !

If any of you live in the US, try to find Koeze peanut butter from Grand Rapids, MI. It's just roasted peanuts and salt. It's my favorite and the glass jars come with an airtight metal lid that's great for packing soup or yogurt in. Love this channel!

Wonderful video! Thank you so much

Love this so much❣️ you have inspired me a lot in my sustainability journey

great tips! thank you for sharing!

Love and appreciate all our suggestions!

Loved the video - thanks for always thibking of those who can't do everything as well! Not all of us have the money, the time, the physical ability,.... to implement every change, and the sustainability communitiy (in my opinion) tends to shame people for that, so THANK YOU! Do I have to use paper plates some days because I am quite ill and facing having to do dishes as well will send me over the edge that day? Yes! Will I go out on my good days and pick up other peoples' litter? Also yes! Everybody does what they can, and that is important to accept. Keep up the good work and thanks for entertainment during this weird time! xx

Loved this video and how respectful and non-pushy your messaging is. I love that you have links to so many DIY recipes and that can look at what we already have before going out and buying new stuff for a minimal waste lifestyle. My goal for 2021 is to really try and embrace this for my entire family of five. Thank you!
