A SIMPLE SUSTAINABLE DAY • DOUTZEN DIARIES

This week I would like to share some things I do to make my lifestyle more sustainable and eco friendly. From always bringing my own shopping bags, to using a stainless steel straw or reusable beeswax paper to wrap food for example. They may seem like small steps, but all the small changes add up to making a big difference in the end if we all do it!

Mae Oliva YES we love her🇵🇭

[@margaretroseduchessofpough8485]

She is so relatable. I have a girl crush on her since I was 16 when she’s still working for Victoria’s secret, for me Doutzen is the only angel I feel connected to.

I'm vegan and love how much this improves my health and the environment 🥰

[@Rebecca-pr3fn]

I honestly mean this the Dutch are such extremely smart people the way they think and live is what the rest of society should live like. Your country has invented so many things, I find it so fascinating such a small country with brilliant minds. Thank you for more great ideas on how to keep waste away. Greetings from Canada. Also, I LOVE and adore Elephants just like you.

Egeli SK must’ve been hard, living there for 28 years 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Rebecca-pr3fn]

@@egelisk4943 First of all I think your facts are completely wrong I have two children who are part Dutch OMA is from Eindhoven with many of the family still living there. I know that what you are saying is not at all true, do you know how much they have invented? HUM maybe do some research cause it is quite amazing. Dutch women are beautiful and good-hearted, they will tell you the truth so it may come across as rude to North Americans. I LOVE the DUTCH people, and I am glad my children have this nationality in them. Racism is everyplace especially more so in the United States, it is not right at all but none the less it exists. People should try to find the good in each other instead of saying unkind things online. You need to see the goodness and creativity of the Dutch people it really is amazing.

[@egelisk4943]

@@Rebecca-pr3fn You're an American. I was born and have lived in that country for 28 years. With all due respect, but you have no place to tell me what the situation is like there. Before the 2000's it may have been different but a lot has changed since then. Dutch women are NOT good-hearted or beautiful. The grass always seems to be greener on the other side. Every country has their racists but in The Netherlands racism became the norm over the years. It's culturally accepted now. You wouldn't even now what I'm talking about since you're probably white. The Dutch HATE everyone except themselves. It's the only reason I can give for the fact I felt miserable trying to fit in with them. I live in Germany now and can see what that time has done to me. Again, you wouldn't know.

[@Rebecca-pr3fn]

@@egelisk4943 I'm deeply sorry if you have been mistreated honestly I am, I am Canadian, not American and the one thing in my country that I love is you see many mixed couples here and honestly no one cares it is very well accepted in fact my daughter has had serious relationships with black men as I have raised my children to never judge anyone by the colour of someone's skin but what is inside there heart, I treat everyone as a human being and until we treat each other with respect the world will never change.

[@egelisk4943]

@@Rebecca-pr3fn You don't have to be sorry. The Dutch 'image' of a tolerant country stills sticks with many foreigners and many can't understand it when we're talking about discrimination. But that 'image' is somewhat old-fashioned now unfortunately. It has become an increasingly intolerant and xenophobic country. Especially towards the Muslim minorities. The EU actually concluded that The Netherlands is one of the most discriminating countries within the EU.

[@Annet1608]

Hi Doutzen, being Dutch I am familiar with all your tips and do most of them myself (except for the re-usable cotton pads). I am also very critical what i buy in terms of fashion: only high quality, not super trendy clothes and shoes. I have a very nice collection now, maintain all very well and only buy a new item every now and then.

[@annalenak1909]

I think it is amazing that you use your influence to educate and make people think about important stuff not just to show nice clothes and makeup. So thankful for your work for the environment!! ❤️

[@ReneeC43]

Doutzenday! Hooray!♥️ This topic is so important too. I've been composting as well in my yard with food waste and it's great :) I also turn off the shower water while I'm applying products to my hair; it saves a little water and the water is only off for such a short time that it's still warm when I turn it right back on! The food containers are called Tupperware in America by the way haha

[@beacazorla]

It’s awesome, most of the times we are thinking we are changing the world but I’ve been raised to do things this way. My family has always recycled as we were not wealthy so that we had to recycle but I’m really glad they brought me like that. Thanks Doutzen!

[@nefeli1819]

Lentils, cheakpeas, corn etc. I soak, cook and freeze them. Never buying cans but so always have fresh legumes in the house.

[@smartgirl4571]

I reuse a lot of bags and rarely take new ones in the store,too.And for example,I don't bin any compost(such as fruit peel,egg shell,vegetable leftovers),I compost it in my garden and that's really good way to save the environment,too.

[@angieearth8261]

You are a joy to watch. Humble, knowledgable and relatable. Thank you for your videos Doutzen ❤️ My eco tip is to bring a reusable coffee cup when out and about x

[@Diamondkity]

Fantastic!! Thanks @Doutzen for sharing these simple and useful tips and for making me feel less of a weirdo when I’m saving the paper bags for later reuse! Love you always!! 🤩😻

[@RebeccaEWebber]

I love all of these tips! To add on to the reusable bag trend, I seem a small rolled up one in my purse all the time so I at least have one if I'm out and want to buy something. In my little family of 2 (me and my husband) we use cloth for everything you could use paper for - even toilet paper. We use "family cloths" and I swear by them. Another thing we do it buy big bags of staples like beans and rice to create less package waste. We cook almost all our own food from scratch and store most of the food in glass containers. We aren't zero waste, but certainly low waste. I think every bit helps.

[@juliajohansson7058]

I love that you brought this up 🙏🏻 thank you. I’m a long time member of the non plastic use. Having a big Grocery shopping bag in my car. And shopping for clothes I ask for one bigger bag and the other clothes I buy I place them in that same bag. I use my bottles from home with either tea or water. If I have plastic I recycle it in a special place that make wheelchairs for children. I’m really glad that you’re sharing this again 🙏🏻

[@louloujenkinson]

You have always been a role model to me, even as a little girl! In a way I am so glad that platforms such as youtube, instagram... are allowing people to come together! Thank you

[@Vialamesa]

We recycle at home, reuse, reduce. We only turn the lights on the area we use, we don’t waste water. We’ve stopped shopping for clothes for the last three years. We shop at our own closet

[@alice_08.04]

In Switzerland we sort the waste: paper, plastic, aluminium, PET, coffee capsules, glass etc. I do everything you mentionned and I use a teethbrush made with sustainable wood. I have got dutch origins, so I try to use my bike as often as possible ! With love, Alice 💖

[@merinikol1]

[@i_only_simp_for_myself800]

It’s so surprising how she’s living such a simple, healthy, normal lifestyle while a thousand of women in her place would be jet setting around before marrying a billionaire or a famous actor/singer to gain even more fame ( nothing wrong with that lifestyle too tho, but it still astonishing lol)

[@i_only_simp_for_myself800]

Mariska B that makes sense I think lol. I meet some dutsh girls, and I remember how most of them were truly gorgeous but also extremely humble and down to earth.

[@TJ-kz1ul]

@Mariska B that makes me want to be Dutch, lol! I don't fit in here in Canada. Women here are so obsessed with shopping, travelling and spending money, it's so hard to find people to fit in with. And the few that aren't like that are such loners they just want to be left alone and almost be hermits.

[@mariondraaijer7939]

Thats the Dutch life🙏🌍🌱❤

[@TJ-kz1ul]

@Mariska B surprisingly, I live in a small town. But it may have to do with the fact that I work with nurses, they make a lot of money, and most of them just want to talk about shopping, travelling, drinking, and spending loads of money. Many of them are very nice, but just not my interests, I don't fit in. And outside of work, many women are still obsessed with the "keeping up with the Jones's mentality" which, again, obsessed with looking rich. I hope things are changing, that would be wonderful.

[@darkreacer]

She's just a smart and normal person. She inspires respect.

[@annazrinyi2907]

I love the way you are thinking! I am so glad I started to watch your videos months ago, because I feel everytime that "Oh, I learned something new and useful again!" Thanks Doutzen!♥ And my way to be more eco-friendly is that I also use my own bags for shopping. I don't like plastic bags, so I try to use less and less from them. And I am trying to drink more tea made from herbals to clean my body and my soul.

[@riyasawalwade333]

Hey Doutzen,use of menstural silicon cups is another great way to be sustainable as it is reusable. All the waste from pads and tampons can be reduced. And also these are health friendly and recommended by lot of doctors too☺. Hope you notice this..love you 😘💕

[@rafaelah3521]

Hi Doutzen! I just wanted to express how much I love Dutch people. I've been to the Netherlands twice and everyone was just so kind hearted and warm. Much love from Germany, plus you look beautiful as always !

you’ve been my goddess since high school years Doutzen 👑 watching your everyday videos is so inspiring and meaningful. thanks for sharing your positive thoughts and lifestyle 💓

[@Blackandwhite3005]

I also use at home a brita filter for water, a stainless steel bootle to take that with me everywhere and we also have baboo toothbrushes for the whole family :)

[@Ard0t]

This is awesome! I use reusable cotton pads as well, except that they're bamboo - they come in this nice bag and when you need to clean them, you put them in the bag and just toss it in the wash with your clothes. Also, I'm a huge fan of growing your own food/material (which I get might not be optimal for people who live in a city) so I have a garden outside, and I try and have different types of plants around that I can use (basil, lavender, rosemary, etc) so I don't have to go to the store.

[@Integratedliving-inspain]

You are such a big inspiration Doutzen. Thank you for all your Love and light

[@aileenn617]

I switched recently to shampoo and conditioner in the bars of soap, they are packaged in metal reusable containers and once you use the products up, you can buy the refills only 💪

I love the healthy, eco-friendly style of living. That is my resolution for 2020.

[@Martin-hv8io]

I adore you! These are such great tips for a sustainable day, where I am from plastic bags haven't been banned yet, even though people try to avoid them. I find ways to plant whatever I can in our yard, it won't change much, it's not a forest, but I still enjoy it because I love nature. Last year I've planted an Apricot tree and it's doing great, we also have an Almond tree, then roses (red planted by my sister and pink planted by me), just yesterday I've planted 48 Gladiolus bulbs, I've started with only five that our neighbour gave to us few years ago and they just multiply, also 10 Tulips for a good start, they multiply too. I would love to encourage people to plant more.🌳🌹🌷🌱❤

[@juanza.x9250]

💛💛💛💚 so grateful you use the channel this way! similar to yours; I use cotton pad (mostly) instead of disposable pads for the woman cycle. I used to make compost at home, but it’s better when you have a garden. The compost can be used as fertiliser. And I throw less and less plastics away, storing it up, maybe making a bag out of it or so laters. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@NicoleKeimig]

I try to stick to buying makeup or beauty products that come in small tubs not squeeze tubes because I like to reuse the small tubes for sample skincare/makeup or other small quantities of things. Or to store larger skincare items in to use while traveling. And I find that the screw top tubs are easier to recycle if you can’t find another purpose for them. Something else I like to implement is products I don’t like for my face or don’t use anymore I use on my body/décolletage (as long as it’s not a harsh active ingredient) so I limit waste and actually get use from said product. 🤗

[@jenter3957]

Thank you Doutzen for being such inspiration of natural beauty, inner health and mindful life! I heard from my Indian friend that it is even better to add some honey to the morning lemon water to make it a bit less acid and even more healthy. Looking forward for new episodes! Elena, Prague

I love your vision, you are well grounded and a great role-model, Doutzen. You bring a sustainable and eco-friendly lifestyle with grace, glamour and a smile. I am hoping you take your role to the next level. We need to talk about the big stuff: hold big corporations accountable and ban fossil fuels. That is the only way forward and the time is now. We have 12 years to save the earth. Let's not avoid the big topics. We need to shape a better future for all our children!

Doutzen is really inspiring. I'd just like to congratulate her and her family on their green credentials instead of the consumerist throw-away society. One point, using paper bags in food shops has no environmental impact, theyre biodegradable, but dont use the plastic bags they supply in shops. I saw another of your videos on a bigger topic of sustainablility in the fashion design world. Surely its a difficult industry to apply sustainability to, but best to more careful selection of materials and less of a throw away culture in the fashion. Was impressed by the re-purposed raincoat made from recycled fabric, very stylish. Applying recycling principles to materials used in the fashion world has interesting possibilities for creative use of recycled materials. Im an architect with interests in sustainable design btw :-)

[@behungria1]

Doutzen make a video talking more about your career as a model, we want to know how you reacted to being barred from Gucci even though you starred in a campaign, about never walking for Chanel, about the pressures on your body being different from the other very thin models, if there is something you haven't done in your career and would like to do, all of those things...

[@clairedudley1185]

HI Doutzen ! Thank you for your good tips. What I recently decided to do, is to keep the fruit tips and dry them before to just plant them wherever I walk in nature. Mother earth is very generous to us, we buy a kilo of fruits and here we have a potential of a dozen of fruit trees !!!! If everybody were doing so , no one would starve as there would be vegetable and fruit trees everywhere ! I also try to prepare less food to not have too much left over. When I realize that there are some food in my fridge that I may not have time to eat, I put them in the freezer to save them for another time. I also tend to not buy fruits and veg that are over wrapped with plastic. I'd love it to be like in the past, no wrapping at all. In the shower I wet my body, stops the water flow and lather and foam, then switch the water back on to rinse my body. And so much more.....🤩💗

[@ritagoedecke6574]

Hi Doutzen as always great advise. I do remember that the Dutch are doing a lot of things echo friendly already for a long time. I always try here in my apartment in So Cal to separate the trash , like plastic and glassware and that kind of stuff in a separate container. Thank you for the video.

[@noisette021]

I use white vinegar to clean the house. It really works everywhere, in the kitchen, the bathroom, etc. Even on the floor ! Yes the smell is a bit strong, but it leaves rapidly. Otherwise, what my half-sister does is adding essential oils. There is white vinegar, but you have a lot of artisanal cleaning products with black soap, baking soda .. You have solid soap, but you also have solid shampoos that I really wanna try (if someone already tried them please tell me !) I also use biological/eco-friendly laundry for my clothes. And a cup in my periods. For the food, I buy local fruits and vegetables of the season and eat less meat. By the way I'm a student, and I can tell that all of those eco-friendly option are so much less expensive than the "classical" ones 👍 (btw sorry for my english that's not perfect, I'm french and still working on it !)

fantastic video! my example is that I spent hundreds of hours to digitize all of the assignments for a 300-student class I teach 2 times a year for the last 5 years. Not a single sheet of paper is printed in my class and probably saved a forest to date. Other tips I have is to re-use the back of paper before throwing it away, finishing your food on your plate, and using solar panels to power your home.

Thank you so much for all the tips! Me and my husband tend to go a natural grocery store that sells beans, flour, oils, vinegar in bulk , we bring our own jars with us, so we don't need to use plastic bags or even paper.

I leave a metal pitcher in my shower to collect shower water, that I use to water my plants or rinse if I'm cleaning something. You can use excess pasta water to water your plants too! At home we really save energy, and only have energy saving bulbs and never leave an unattended room with power on unnecessarily. I think a big one is using non toxic chemicals in soaps like detergents, shampoo and dish soap because these chemicals go down the drain into our drinking water and eventually into big body's of water. I love this video I hope people got inspired to make a few changes in their lifestyle 🙂

It’s a Shame she did not continue making those interesting videos.

Hi, you said so many things. My input- I revived my Mom's wardrobe from the 70's and the 80's (she keeps her best pieces), had them fitted, and wear them with pleasure instead of buying all new clothes. Great fabrics and design that does not exist now.

Hi Doutzen, I like yours tea infuser, my grandmother had similar one. I usually bay clothes made of natural fibres. "Broodtrommel" - Lunch box, I have several glass ones.

When possible, I like to cycle and walk to my destinations, as opposed to driving. It's better for the environment and better for health.

thank you for being so real and authentic! here's one... I recently found tooth paste in a 'pill' form, that you chew and then brush... no toothpaste tube waste, and super portable for travel or purse. also, we save every glass jar for food storage... no more ziplock bags, foil, etc.
