I of course get you have many other problems to deal with, and all countries have some problems. And in any place, I think there should be a law that all packaging needs to be either recyclable or compostable. Plastic packaging where its not specifically needed should be banned. But some food have prolonged duration with plastic package which helps reduce food waste, I think that use of plastic is OK although not fully ideal

One of shelbi’s videos she mentioned that if you’re planning on using the glass container after the food item is used then that’s a better option which I think is good to keep in mind.

When you said “I’m so sick of feeling like the weight of the world is on my shoulders”… …I felt that. PREACH. 👏

I must confess - I tend to go for glass not because of its recyclability, but reusability. In my home and tribe, I know what shapes and sizes are coveted because I will reuse them regularly in my home, I gift things to others in them (sauces, treats I make, powdered egg shells for someone’s garden), and in some casesI just drop off a ton of requested sizes and shapes to friends who give them new uses. That said - when I don’t think that the offered glass will be reused, I do look to a different packaging option to buy the item in. BTW - as a fiber enthusiast (knitting/crochet, not oatmeal), most cellulose based fibers undergo intensive processes to become clothing. Linen and cotton tend (not guaranteed) to be the least environmentally impactive in relationship to the potential life garments of those fibers may have if properly cared for.

What makes certain kinds of fibers so hard is having to not only treat for dyes but also all the chemicals to either bind them together or keep them apart. Though honestly I would love linen much more if we didn't produce it in cotton weaves and machines thus losing many of it's historic benefits as a cloth.

As a stressed out mom, sometimes (okay often lol) I resort to "homemade paper plates". Basically I just take a clean piece of card board from the recycling bin and use it as a paper plate to feed my kids. Usually like a box that used to hold food like a cereal box, or frozen food box. Once I ripped the metal piece off the package for aluminum foil, and turned that into their chicken nugget box. 😅

I’ve done that! ..not at my ex’s, my friends birthday they got out paper & I asked if they had plates and offered to wash Saved ~10 paper plates from being used for 20 minutes & being thrown away

I’ve been on a low waste journey for about 4 years now and have been torn on what materials to use. There are alot of things to consider, and as I’m in Finland we have a solid 6-8 months out of the year when we have almost no local fruits and veggies, so any fresh (and sometimes frozen) produce is imported and come in plastic. So when it comes to packaging I buy things in plastics that are recyclable in my area (my waste management company has finally published a list online of which plastics they take), if I can’t find that I choose cardboard or paper so I can compost it or recycle. Any time I need to buy an item for my home, my main priority and focus is on that item lasting as long as possible, if possible that item should literally outlive me. I have bought most of my kitchen utensils and stuff in aluminum or steel, in my mind atleast the longer an item is in use before discarding of it the less it’ll take a toll on the planet. I am using my grandmas steel pots, pans and kitchen utensils that are almost 90 years old, still in great condition after almost daily use. I do what I can to avoid virgin materials, whether it’s buying recycled materials or second hand, but in the finnish climate where local food isn’t available for the majority of the year I do have to buy alot of things in virgin plastic. We have seen changes in packaging here, but sometimes plastic is the most sustainable considering the food waste that would occur without it.

It can take months. We will see it happen, but the market needs to gain momentum and it needs motivation/encouragement.

I've been trying to reduce waste for a few years and after watching hundreds of videos and reading so many articles about materials, waste and recycling I just feel that the best approach we can all take is to be really mindful of what we buy and use and only buy what we truly need. Reuse, repair and repurpose what we can and stop over consuming for the sake of it or for trends. As sad as it is, this planet is more concerned about money than looking after our environment which is why recycling isn't done properly, because companies can't make money from it 😔

I think packaging manufacturers should be required to print where and how their materials can be recycled. There should also be standardization to types of recycling facilities. Municipalities and other facilities should be required to tell their citizens “we use form a, b, or c” of recycling”, and then the company would be required to notate that in some way on their packaging.

I'm from Germany and have never ever heard of anyone using plastic dishes on a daily basis 😱😱😱

When I see people, even those who say they are concerned about the environment buying water in plastic bottles I feel it’s really hopeless. It’s the single easiest thing to change and so many people won’t do it. Drives me nuts. Sorry I had to vent. I ❤️ you so much and I have been writing to companies.

I haven’t seen any polystyrene food packaging or plates in Australia since the 1990s. In fact when you mentioned polystyrene plates, I was amazed that was even still a thing!!

Beyond impact on planet, it's important to consider how the chemicals that make these products have negative impact on human health. Cancer, endocrine disruption, asthma and so many serious heath issues have ties to the terrible chemicals we continue to be exposed to every day. I am an interior designer and am paying much closer attention to specifying materials of natural composition that will not cause harm as they decompose at the end of their life. Of course, also trying to use repurposed materials wherever possible.

"Red mud" or "bauxite residue" (waste of aluminium production) is no fun, few years ago we've had an industrial accident, red mud flooded 2 villages in my country, close to my town.... ten people died, 100+ were injured and a whole river died out. We know that production of aluminium is not only sunshine and rainbows. (It's not closely related to the video but it was so traumatic that I cannot think about else when someone mentions this topic.)

I have family that uses paper plates or foam plates every day to avoid washing dishes 😩 when I visit I use regular plates for me and my family and wash them when we are done.

Oh my God, my family also loves to use styrofoam. My dad even microwaved butter in a styrofoam bowl recently. 😖 Thank God though, I've been complaining about styrofoam long enough that he is slowly changing his ways. He even said, "I'd rather wash a dish than use a flimsy styrofoam plate"

Thank you for emphasizing life cycle impacts! I'm constantly learning nuances and updating environmental knowledge that I have accepted without question for years. Glass is a great example of this - perfect for durable food storage, not so great for single-use packaging. Though my jar collection is out of control... Thanks for also bringing food waste into this. Packaging DOES serve a purpose, even if it sometimes gets out of control.

Just yesterday I had a conversation with a friend about exactly this topic - perfect timing for this great video!

Getting a sense of scale there is almost overwhelming.

I’m a farmer in Canada, and have a diploma in Agriculture. Ive never heard of wheat straw being a waste product. This crop residue is often tilled back into the soil as it will be broken down by beneficial bacteria back into macro and micro nutrients that the next crop can uptake. If a farm is mixed (livestock and grain), often the swathed wheat will be combined and the wheat straw is then baled to provide bedding for the animals.

This was so well done… subscribed 👍

Wow I can’t believe I’m here first! So excited for this video, been waiting for this information from Shelbi’s perspective.

Thank you so much for this video it was so helpful and educational it really makes me rethink my habits and assumptions about certain materials I love you and your videos!

Wheat straw is either baled for animal bedding or else just left in the field. Then the next crop is no-till planted right in the straw. I have never seen either wheat straw or corn stalk waste sent to the landfill on the neighboring farms.

Learned new info about recycling, thank you

Very thought provoking!

Thabk you for this video, I learned a lot. I think that the best aspect of glass is that it is reusable, that's why I think it's a good option for some packaging. Also if it is used in local products I feel like the shipping aspect is less bad. I prefer to reuse glass to plastic or tetrapack.

You mentioned that people you know use disposable plates daily, and that really surprised me when I first heard you mention that, because in my family and most people I know, disposable plates are only bought and used when we have birthday parties or a bbq. And on the every day, my family at least, uses reusable plates, tea towels, dish clothes for wiping spills. We have disposables, but they aren't used as much as your family uses them. Maybe it's because my family is old fashion or just cheap. Haha
