just a reminder for everyone that buying "zero waste" alternatives to things you already have that are still useful is the complete OPPOSITE of zero waste! the most ecofriendly and sustainable product is the one you already have and the things that you DON'T buy! for example, I love the aesthetic and look of a sustainably made bamboo hair brush, but the plastic brush that I've had for the past 10 years still works perfectly fine, so I wont be buying a bamboo brush until my plastic one is completely unusable

Yup, when I started making the shift, I just wishlisted zero-waste alternatives and only got back to them after exhausting what I already had. It was a great motivator to making full use of the items otherwise lying around and I either didn't buy the alternative and only bought alternatives to things I genuinely used.

Idk if this is really zero waste, but I am often creating things from things I have because I'm broke. I'm good at making furniture out of cardboard(dressers, chests, baskets) making baskets from grasses and fabrics, making pillows and stuffing them with clean old socks and knickers along with loose fibers, sewing clothing on my machine or by hand(usually with bedsheets or resizing clothing from the thrift store) I also forage for wood to create trellises for my garden and forage for food while I'm at it(this does require research, but becomes easier with time. I'm loving the surplus of mulberries rn) also, when I have plastic, I am often using it to plant stuff because plants are the most important part of my life. I still holes in containers to use as seed starters, grow leafy greens in plastic bags I find(shallow root systems :) ) and use harder plastics for propping up plants. I really enjoy making food out of food waste and avoiding waste. Why waste things you can use? Things deserve a second life

Yes! This aspect of zero waste is so underrated. I cant afford to buy most "zero waste" things so I am forced to come up with creative solutions. You can do almost everything yourself with a sewing machine and hot glue gun. People usually just buy what they want without a second thought because they aren't used to thinking outside the box. Yesterday I wanted to make beeswaz wraps but couldnt buy/afford the pine resin, but I knew I lived by tons of pine trees! So I collected my own resin and made a little fire in my backyard to refine it. It worked great,

Buying second hand things is something so small and makes a big difference! 👏

I put water that’s been left in a bottle too long in my kettle or leave it for my plants.

I never even thought about the fact that cloths that are not made of natural materials would shed microfibres. Idk why that didn't occur to me but when I move into my own place, I will take that into consideration.

The closest store that has any type of bulk is a 35 minute drive. But my closest grocery store is a six minute bike ride away. I would love to visit the bulk store but I’m not over there very often. I think choosing to ride my bike and use canvas bags is better than driving 35 minutes for bulk items.

This video was so helpful to see how u actually implement some of this stuff in your everyday! Thanks

Thank you Gittermary, I love the video! One small thing I've done is transition from normal tissues to 100% cotton/linen handkerchiefs which I made by cutting up some second hand shirts into rectangles and stitching the hems. Its an ongoing process and I sew them while watching/listening to things, or on video call with friends/family. I am by no means zero waste yet or even close - but its a small thing. Its good for my skin, better for the planet - and also saves so much money. I also have been using the period cup for over 2 years now! xx

Baby steps... I switched to reusable menstrual pads which feel very good after having a hard time experimenting with a Diva cup. Also I acquired a non-plastic razor that uses regular razorblades. And one way that I am practicing zero waste without even thinking about it was my book habit. Yes I participate in Life's library, so I get some new books each year all while supporting Partners in Health in Sierra Leone, but most other books are either shared with friends or from an open library shelf where I also recycle my only-read-once books.

This is a great video for any person to begin their journey to sustainable living. I had no clue how in-depth zero waste can go. I just started learning about composting and recycling to help with the waste that can't be recycled. But of course, it would be better to steer clear from the companies that produce these harmful items in the first place.

Just keep in mind that de-cluttering is more along the lines of minimalism than sustainability. You can have 150 books and still practice sustainability. Your goal in future would simply be to avoid bringing in new books. The same goes for clothes. It sounds like that will be the really big change that low-waste/sustainable living will bring about for you. You should feel really proud of making that change, and it was great of you to give away your possessions to people who could really use them (since that's also an important element of sustainability). :) As a committed book addict, here are my best tips for doing book addiction more sustainably: Personally, I think some three good reasons to buy a book are because 1) you need it for a course or for your work (not just for a month or two, but for the whole year or whatever), 2) because it's an indispensable day-to-day reference, and 3) because it's your absolute favourite series or holds an extremely significant sentimental value. If you do decide to continue buying hardcopy books, you can switch to doing so at second-hand shops or from second-hand listings. On top of reading constantly, I travel a lot, so I started committing to ebooks and audiobooks. I mostly use Audible and Kindle, but also free resources, such as Project Gutenburg and Google Books. I also recommend using your local library, both for hardcopy books and any ebook services it might offer! Book Crossing is also great. My last three hardcopy books came from my local Book Crossing, which is great, because you can return them once you're done reading (or donate your own). I would also recommend looking up your nearest street libraries. I was shocked to find two in my area. SO unexpected, believe me. And you could also try exploring the world of online fiction. I hope these tips help. :)

Tip 2/ If you have periods and you've never tried a menstrual cup or have struggled to get along with one in the past, take the, "Which cup am I?," quiz (via putacupinit.com) to find your right fit. Unsurprisingly, people who menstruate have totally different bodies and totally different menstrual cup requirements. My ideal menstrual cup is long and slim, but yours may be short and wide. This test will point you to the brand that is most likely to be your best fit (and they really know their stuff), while also giving you several other options to choose from. Do yourself this kindness! It will completely change the experience. A word of warning, however: You'll be asked to measure your pelvic depth using a finger. If this makes you uncomfortable or you cannot physically do this, you certainly aren't required to provide this answer, but your result will not be able to take this factor into account. If menstrual cups still don't work for you, or you have a disability that makes them difficult or impossible to use, an option to consider is period underwear. Period underwear absorbs several tampons worth of blood, making it especially great for overnight use and for general wear with a heavy flow. It can also be worn in addition to a cup, which I recommend if you do gymnastics, ballet, or other affected sports. Plus, there are period underwear brands out there who do styles to better accommodate genderqueer, non-binary, and transgender individuals. I feel like this is an issue with a lot of other period products currently on the market. You may need to do a little more research into the manufacturing process if fabric sourcing, etc, is of major concern to you as a buyer (I tend to worry a little less when it comes to healthcare/medical items, just because they're so essential), but it's still a comparatively sustainable period product regardless. If you have enough underwear to cover several days, then you would simply change the underwear daily, soaking each used item in the morning to 'rinse' it clean, and then wash all of the items together at the end of your cycle. Or that would be my suggestion. You may have your own method!

@michaelafischer6177

4 жыл бұрын

Wow, okay, so I had a lovely tip here for everyone with disabilities and medical considerations, but since KZread decided to delete that, we'll have to skip forward to my final, alternative rec. Tip 3/ Sustainability isn't about home makeovers, interior design, aesthetics, or 'swap' hauls. Very few sustainable homes actually look Instagram and KZread perfect. And I honestly ask, how convincing is it when they do? I love when low-waste KZreadrs reveal their cupboard of mismatched drinkware or old Tupperware. I love when we see their plastic yoga mat that probably has devastating manufacturing origins--because realistically, they've had no reason to replace it yet and they haven't crumbled to the desire to appear perfect online. This does not apply to Gittemary, but plenty of social media zero-waste icons completely overhauled their homes to look eco-perfect in the beginning. Those who are more credible will admit to this and admit they got swept up in the aesthetic over the principles. Others are doing sustainability-as-design-porn. And you know what? Your home won't look like that. Your home won't look like that, because it didn't before, and sustainability means not going out to buy a whole lot of things to replace *what you already have*. It won't look like that, because sustainability means living with the consumer decisions and plastic-lade chaos of the home you built in life until you understood the challenges of sustainability. It won't look like that, because chances are, if you are economically middle-class, then you already have containers, cookware, pantry staple, and personal care products--all of which need using up, because sustainability means not abandoning and accumulating at will. Unlike KZread, sustainability can be unglamorous. It can mean your surroundings actually begin to change even less than usual--slower than ever before--because you embrace *what you already have*. In stark contrast to Gittemary's gorgeous video, I want to share snapshots of what sustainability looks like for me, beyond the shampoo bars, re-usable baking mats, and wax wraps: A draw full of (thankfully BPA-free) 5-year-old Ziplock bags I'd much rather be done with by now and which have been re-washed so many times their labels are completely worn off. These do still get used for food, but also for general storage and travel. A truly massive stack of unsightly delivery boxes and packaging materials, crammed behind my couch to keep them out of sight, waiting to be re-used. Oh, and three rolls of plastic-lined Christmas paper that haunt me. A seriously unglamorous, freebie plastic water bottle, which would be ridiculous to replace with something pretty, so I won't until it falls apart. Mismatching, re-purposed packaging/storage literally everywhere. Sometimes I decorate it, but honestly, that only compromises its eventual recyclability. So, it's imperfect if I don't, but imperfect in a serious way if I do. Hours of my life spent mind-numbingly picking or scrubbing off labels from packaging, so that I can either recycle it or use it in my home without becoming unhappy (arguably, it'd be more sustainable to leave the stickers on). There you go! Just a snippet. And yet, low-waste is something I wouldn't change for anything. It's a feeling of immense satisfaction. It's the joy of discovery and living with less 'need'. It's money saved. It's being part of a global community of beautiful people. It's eating fresher, healthier, more seasonal food. It's so many good things. And it's impossible not to love the beauty that we slowly introduce into our homes, albeit it on a much slower scale. You do need considerable patience to face the flawed reality of the home you constructed pre-sustainability, but when you do replace something at the end of its life, the presence of whatever replaces it communicates so much about the journey you and the world as a whole is on. The only thing you need to do to start being (more) sustainable is to stop needlessly consuming. And that probably means not buying that bamboo cutlery set, because you *probably* already have cutlery that you can wrap up and take on the road. Educate yourself about low-waste, manufacturing, how to be a smarter consumer, etc. Remember that the goal isn't to use things up so that you can replace it with something more idealistic. However, every time you do need to make a replacement, educate yourself about that particular item's lifecycle. And just know that perfect doesn't exist, however perfect we think our favourite low-waste KZreadrs are (they are incredible, though

Great ideas 🙂 I normally use broccoli stems for stir fry, just cut them into smaller pieces and fry with other things (sometimes I peel them first from the harder outer part). I also like them just cooked, taste is different from the florets, more like kohlrabi. I am lowering my waste by trying to waste as little as possible. I often buy food in conventional packaging (right now I am not able to buy everything package free), but then I do everything not to throw it away, use odd bits, do a stew, freeze leftovers, do a weird ingredient combo. I am shocked how much food is wasted, I was raised in deep respect for food, my grandparents experienced actuall lack of food and they would never throw any food away.

It is great! Very educational. I love the idea of wasting less. There are so many things that can be salvaged and used to their full extent! There are so many resources available that are clean and handy! I have started to reuse containers and buy only things I know will be worth the containers that they are presented in. God bless your soul and spirit with wisdom and strength to keep making wonderful inspirational videos. I love how I learn from different individuals little bits and pieces of how to be more sustainable. Thank you for teaching me this: how to flourish in this world which seems determined to make me trash and filth. You give me hope and faith in Jehovah, Jesus Christ, Emmanuel for showing people to love themselves and their neighbors even if they are strangers. Even if I do not know you or have never seen you in person you taught me a lesson. You showed me how I can make a difference. They say one person does not really matter, but I know one person made justice available for me and there shall be justice for the people who believe in a clean Earth. Especially, people who believe in clean souls with clean hands and clean clothes. They shall be gifted each with their own crown. They shall have houses not made with hands of men or women forever away beyond the skies. I wonder why I thought of that. Curios. Curioser.And curioser.

Moving from a large home to a small cottage. Taking this opportunity to re-evaluate things. I already compost and grow a lot of my vegetables. I live in Texas, USA so I have 2 growing seasons. I already use a similar low or no package goods & products and have many things that are second hand. But feel like going a step further. So putting up an old fashion clothes line to use instead of dryer with our abundant and free sunshine. Looking into solar panels as well, since here 100 degree days are pretty normal in mid to late summer, so air conditioning is a must. I’m currently, slowly trying to replace my falling apart fast fashion with more durable and BREATHABLE FIBERS, wool, cotton, silk & linen. But as a plus size women, that is harder than you might think. But I can sew, so maybe I’ll be better off at the end of run outlets. Currently looking at a dehumidifier that filters water from the air into a water tank for drinking water. Here in South Texas we have year round water restrictions to prevent waste. Having lived on a boat, I’m pretty good with water economy for dishes and showering, as well as using baking soda and vinegar as my primary cleaners. But you mentioned orange peels? Is that functional or is it for scent?

BRAVO!!!!!!! Love your channel...can you do a video when you go out to the second hand stores for purchasing clothing or anything else please.

What an awesome video! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much, I just begin to reduce waste, love you.❤

I like to use soap nuts, chest nuts or my own homemade liquid washing detergent for the laundry. I love farmers markets (when their open and it's not Corona time), otherwise I like dumpster diving and I've been saving so much money.

Recently started to pay more attention to the things I buy and the package they come into, I've been a fan of no packaging beauty, cleaning and laundry (often homemade) products for a long time now. I live in a small village in the mountains, so recycling, compost and homegrown food has always been a part of my life, fortunately. Always seeking to improve.

I line dry most of my clothes year round. In the winter we heat with a wood stove, which makes the air even more dry, and drying clothes on a rack in front takes very little time and puts moisture back into the air. I also keep a pot of water on the wood stove rather than running a humidifier. I’ve been saving my toilet paper rolls, candle remnants and dryer lint to make my own fire starters. Instead of donating my unwanted household items to the overwhelmed thrift stores, I leave them by the road in front of my house, everything’s gone in a day or two and most likely to someone who will use it rather than send it to the landfill.

This is so inspiring!

So great and inspiring lifestyle!

This video was seriously awesome!
