Maya really??? I personally would not be willing to throw out all of my plastic items on a whim and fill the local garbage tip up with it... she has thrown things away and now thinks she is wonderful and all the time her unused plastic items are not decomposing in the local tip...how is she someone to want to be like... please take note as you view the video again at how much plastic is actually in her home, the bits she allowed us to see... we can all make our own soaps etc (a lot of us do), we can grow our own (a lot of us do) but most of us do not purge our home of perfectly good plastic items we have so we can pat ourselves on the back and tell ourselves how good we are. Most of us use the plastic items until they are no longer useful and try to find another purpose for them rather than throw them into the landfill. if the item is not able to be used again we try to recycle and replace only when needed with more natural items... this video gives you the impression she went through the house and cleared it out of all the kids plastic things..she certainly didnt throw out her stuff you can see it in the video....

Slowly eliminating plastic from our lives is not gong to harm us, not doing so will kill us. It's not about class, money, etc, but about enjoying other things that are free beautiful and sustainable. It can be done.

I'd love to do this, but it seems like shopping to find replacements takes forever and I have limited free time after work. Companies really need to lead the way and make plastic-free convenient.

If you have the time to be a negativity troll, then you have the time to reduce your plastic packaging consumption as she and her son are doing helping the planet. It actually costs less to eat unprocessed natural food and it is better for your health... so if you have less income there's another advantage. Our family of 5 lives plastic free to a large extent the same as these people do, trying to be responsible. Why not be part of the solution rather than being part of the massive environmental problem with unnecessary plastic use ?

Props to her for eliminating plastics from packaging, but personally I wouldn't deny my kids plastics toys or chocolate bars. I'd give it to them, but I would discuss with them the plastic involved in making the chocolate bar and the toy, maybe sit them down to watch "Blue Planet" to show them why we try and minimise our plastic usage Still, it really does show it's not hard to reduce plastic in our lives to a bare minimum, it just takes a cultural shift.

There is definitely a point, the amount of plastic even one person makes in a year is collosal. Also it's great that she is teaching her son to be conscious about these issues - we should be educating the next generation so they can make better choices than we did.

Respect

Love it!

She is no better than any off the rest of us. She's having someone bring food to her in a car or truck or whatever which uses oil which is basically plastic.. I'm pretty sure this woman wears shoes as well..

do mend the wooden red rocking chair !

I appreciate you but it's very hard.

You are such an inspiration. Thanks for showing us this is possible.❤ The other day I was eating a pack of skittles and I thought, “Damn, if this ends up in the ocean, some fish is probably going to choke on it.” I mean think of it: Bright red packaging floating around in the water like a small fish. 🐠

She seems to be a typical British suburban housewife with the income to support her "plastic free" lifestyle. I have no issue with it personally.

Cool

I know she’s cutting out plastic in her household (in which is good), but couldn’t she just let her son play with plastic toys until he grows out of them and then donate them to a second hand store? It isn’t that hard. Plus some of her tech has plastic.

Plastic no good

It’s great that she’s doing this and props to her but this lifestyle is only accessible to a certain class of people with the money and time to do it.

Make your coffee at home, fill it in your reusable to-go-cup and take it with you! Shopping totes, bamboo cutlery...everything you can reuse comes cheaper in the end! You even get discounts for bringing your own cup!

She does look to be quite well off but not everyone who lives in London is rich - there are many (like me) who earn below average wages and still have to pay 4 x the rent of other parts of the country. You can start by making small changes like just buying a glass jar or can of something rather than a plastic container. Or buy vegetables without plastic - I pay less for onions and carrots by buying them that way and there is less waste. You don't have to spend a ton of money and small changes add up quickly.
