Chic new eco-friendly home buys!

[@fifikc]

We are all trying to be so eco friendly but we are being very counter productive cause so many are throwing out all there plastics etc and replacing with all the eco friendly options. The best thing we could do is use things up or use TIL they are finished them until the end of there life cycle!

[@DesiPerkins]

Fiona Casey no I’m still using them just not repurchasing now once they get old. I didn’t throw anything away. I think the only thing I showed that is even something I already have is Tupperware.

[@gracekellman8049]

Preach!!!

[@Uniikex]

Fiona Casey that’s very true. I’ve been trying to Use all my plastic until it breaks and then I throw it.

[@milanninavarro6337]

She never mentioned anything about throwing away her plastic items 🤔

[@kayleeambriz3022]

You can also recycle so many Tupperware! You would be surprised how many things are recycle.

[@kacieoschip]

One tip for ordering at Starbucks with your own cup: if you go through the drive thru, the baristas are usually already preparing your order as you’re saying it. A lot of times customers wait until the end of their order to let us know they have a personal cup, all the while we prepared it normally and end up wasting a cup anyway. It helps to lead with saying you have a personal cup if you want to avoid a plastic one being used.

[@infinitedreaming222]

Maybe after Ms. Rona passes

[@pearlgrover1317]

That's a defect you need to fix in your process at Starbucks

[@kacieoschip]

Pearl Grover You’re not wrong, and I encourage you to reach out to the company to voice your concerns. I am just a barista communicating the truth of in-store operations to consumers if it offers insight or assistance.

[@kacieoschip]

Infinite Dreams Absolutely, this comment was made prior to COVID19 policies being enacted and we do not currently accept personal cups.

[@jelemil]

@@pearlgrover1317 theres a lot of pressure at Starbucks to churn out drinks quickly so that tends to happen. Once customers dont care how long their order takes, then they'll be more thorough in waiting for the customer to say if they have a personal cup

[@AjaDang]

Great start! Here are some Products that I’ve switched to that have totally changed my life: - Stasher bags: 100% worth the price upgrade. A much better ziplock replacement. - reusable cotton wipes: great for makeup and toners, but I also use them for nail polish. Once done throw them in the wash et voila! - Marleys Monsters Unpaper towels: we’ve been paper towel-Free for a year and these are great. - charcoal sticks: a great way to purify water: (brita et al are made with plastic) + their compostable - speaking of compost, do it! The soil that would come from your compost would do wonders for your garden! - plant paper toilette paper: MAJOR upgrade. Tradition toilet paper is a major cause or deforestation + all the chemicals that go into it to make it white. This toilette paper is made from fast growing grass. I hope one day they’ll go tubeless but still a better choice than tradition paper. - you may hate these but: telling some/most brands to stop sending you PR packages + the elimination of fast fashion from your closet would help amazingly. Anyway, I’ll get off my soapbox now but so happy you’re using your large platform to talk about this subject!

[@linaaanah]

I always would wonder how much waste those PR packages would make when they send them out to multiple influencers 🥴 it’s crazy

[@VictoriaYoutube12]

"Its not about a few people doing zero waste perfectly, its about millions of people doing zero waste imperfectly" A tip is to also think outside of the box: using vinegar and water instead of buying a bunch of cleaners, not using cotton rounds, cut up face clothes instead, not using plastic silverware, buying refillable soaps, not using the small produce bags at the market, typically we wash veggies/fruit so just throw it in your basket as individuals, not buying plastic milk containers and instead buying cardboard ones. Remember glass is harder to recycle than plastic or aluminum as it takes much more energy to melt down glass. Hand cleaning the filters in your AC instead of buying new filters each year. Having a small countertop compost bin that you can empty in the garden once a week (coffee grounds, banana peels, orange peels, lemons etc.) If you really pay attention you will start to notice little changes that are so easy you'll smack yourself for not doing it sooner.

[@UnaFamiliaenTexas]

Victoria H this was so helpful!!! I will start doing this little things, thanks for sharing

[@bernicebravo12]

Yes yes yes!!!

[@narlyenatvanya]

Just so you know, cardboard milk containers are lined with plastic (so the milk doesn't soak right through and break up the cardboard). So unless you go refill glass bottles from your local farm, it's much harder to do sustainable liquids from the grocery store. Your other tips are very helpful, though! I definitely advocate for diy cleaners (better for you AND the environment) and trying to make the smallest of things reusable, like the cotton rounds you talked about and plastic silverware, etc.

[@themango9644]

But who in the hell has time to be hand cleaning their filters? Pft

[@jackwhite6537]

[@mackenziemcnair1895]

[@emmajackson5419]

Just be careful with “biodegradable” and “compostable” plastics. The straws you were talking about and biodegradable plastic bags, etc don’t actually break down any faster than regular plastics and they end up in landfills anyway. The best option is a stainless steel or glass straw or if you want something disposable, paper straws! :)

[@janean6545]

Regular plastic 1000 years and biodegradable plastic 100 years to break down a little difference but we need to find something better

[@flower237]

Emma Jackson I use food-grade silicone straws! They fold up so they’re easy to carry anywhere

[@pettiinaniiranen2802]

You can also just simply decide not to use straws

[@immatureanna]

If you don't throw them away though, does it matter?

[@bumblebeez1995]

It’s because compostable materials are supposed to be thrown in a COMPOSTER. Not the landfill, compostable items need a certain environment to break down

[@liz4816]

Wow it is so refreshing to see people like you with a huge platform using it to talk about things like this!!! So many switches are easy to make and often save you money

[@bauera86]

My issue with the plastic tumbler is that if it cracks, which it will, it will be more plastic that ends up in our water and oceans. Better to use glass, like giant mason jars for venti drinks. You can find lids with holes for straws on Etsy. But no plastic should be the goal! So glad you’re starting your eco friendly journey!

[@heathernelson1568]

I literally cried! I’m so appreciative that you are addressing this issue. You don’t have to be perfect, do the best you can. This subject can take you down a rabbit hole of information and there are sooooo many aspects. Keep exploring the zero waste lifestyle! Thank you again! This needs to become mainstream and you are so influential ❤️

[@michelleliucee]

IDK if Steven’s sister would wanna be in a video. But, I’m sure a lot of people who are also becoming more eco-conscious would love a Q&A with her. Tips on what you can do as a consumer to minimize waste (more than just reusable products), etc.

[@sarahm6002]

Part of being eco friendly is decreasing the amount of stuff u buy as well. Less is more :)

[@alexfurey7642]

Totally! When i heard things like "I went a bit crazy" and "haul" and "bought these just because I was shopping" my brain for confused but the word "eco" was on the screen so it must be sustainable, right?

[@marcknatio4078]

trueeee!! 😂😂😂 I think she doesn't know the real meaning of being eco-friendly. You just have repurpose and recycle the jars or anything you already have, you don't need to buy lots of "eco" stuff you know 😂😂😂

[@Tkgaming1310]

Thanks for this. I purchased a lot of eco-friendly items as well (produce bags, more straws, reusable ziploc, beeswax papers). I’m so excited to put more of a conscious effort to help the environment.

[@hopeelston4903]

Yes!!!!! Please share your eco journey in 2020 with everyone!! The more attention eco friendly living and being conscious is the more people will do it! I love that Jen Atkin ifted eco gifts also!! Such a good way to encourage people to turn to the light side!!!

[@ka850411]

For the reusable shopping bags, you actually have to use it for more than 131 times for it to be more eco friendly than a plastic bag considering the carbon footprints, the cost of materials and energy to make them. And I believe a lot of the reusable containers/straws is the same. With that being said, I think the most important thing is reuse stuff as much as you can, not getting stuff you don’t actually use all that much

[@user-ii4rq5ko3x]

I don’t know why she doesn’t use the makeup bags that loads of brands have been sending her for years.

[@lliketheletterh236]

Please don’t replace items with “eco friendly” items until those non-eco friendly items actually need to be replaced. That just adds for waste! Also- stop buying plastic! Opt for glass options instead!

[@zoreed1965]

it takes a lot of energy to create glass and recycle it. I'm not saying that its worse than plastic but its not that much better

[@MrsHi1206]

Also, it takes a lot of non recyclable padding and plastic to ship glass and make sure it’s adequately cushioned during transit. It’s not a zero waste option, you still have to weigh it up with all the info.

[@ANASantos519]

I agree! Adds for big waste. 😒😒

[@autumnmoorhouse3035]

I guess you have to weigh your options. Atleast glass can be reused over and again while most plastic things cannot.

[@Pickythicky]

Autumn Moorhouse she saying don’t do it till you need it. get use out the of the items you already have. After they are used up, but to glass items. it will be wasteful to just throw out the stuff you already bought or have.

[@shiningsophia]

THANK YOU! We need more big influencers showcasing eco-friendly choices as viable day-to-day choices :)

[@denisselozano2721]

I'm very happy you made this video, it's good seeing mainstream influencers starting to realize there's eco-friendly options for a lot of things. And like you said, it's better that everyone starts to be more eco-conscious, even if they're not perfect.

[@brandeeisbomb]

This will get addicting for you fast lol. I decided about a year ago to try and live closer to a zero waste lifestyle. I’ve slowly started making changes here and there starting from the “easy” stuff like using reusable shopping bags, water bottle, silicone bags and food covers, etc. Then moving on to making my own laundry soap and line drying my clothes instead of using the dryer, buying dry goods in bulk instead of in plastic bags. I would love to compost as well but I’m not really in a position to do that yet where I live. Every step no matter how small is still a step in the right direction.

[@Yoitsale26]

i think another way to be eco friendly is being aware of fast fashion and really think about the clothes you wear as well. It's definitely about the products you use but also what you support and how much. Love this video and difference you make! Also Vegan is the way to go! Living in LA and having vegan options become a bigger thing makes it easier. Even if it means starting small and going for vegan options once a week :) Just some ideas! Love you girl!❤️❤️❤️

[@bernicebravo12]

Yes! I've been for awhile cutting out dairy & meat & trying vegan "meat" & I'm surprised how good it actually is.

[@narlyenatvanya]

Just keep in mind that if you do go with vegan clothing (vegan leathers, faux fur, etc), that's all made of plastic. So be aware of those choices, too

[@santanabland3417]

Not even going conpletely vegan if you don't want to, but just cutting out things. And like another said, vegan leathers are usually worse in terms of environmental factors than high quality leathers. So buying 2nd hand instead is a good way to go.

[@AneeqaHussain]

[@morgan.a.mcneill]

I love seeing people make these swaps! I've made all of these swaps myself (except the dog bags bc I don't have a dog) but one thing I have to start remembering again is bringing my metal straws with me when I go out.

I saw the reusable ziplock bags at TJMaxx and I was like... this is great! I need a bunch of these and then there was like only 1 bag! So glad to find it on Amazon! Thanks bunches! I used to stress out about the volume of ziplock bags I went through.

[@AA-oe6su]

This is a great video and I'm happy you're integrating this mindset into your life! I just wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone about water use!! Especially in California. The water table is being depleted at an unprecedented rate and it can take up to about 10,000 years to recharge groundwater reservoirs. Another aspect of eco-friendly we should all investigate and consider, micro to macro.

[@ErinKathleen]

Yess I love this!!! Everyone’s goal needs to be at least doing a little better being eco friendly! Even little things, that everyone does, makes a huge difference! 💚💚

I appreciate the screen shot friendly moments when u show the product

[@ellenistefanidis4885]

I have been trying to be more eco-friendly as well this year; hopefully you actually read this but a suggestion that I just came across are actually reusable makeup remover pads that are made from bamboo and you can throw them in the washing machine and just reuse them. They are such an awesome eco-friendly option beyond makeup wipes (in their plastic packaging and their chemicals) or if you dont like to use a face cloth (those are not my my cup of tea tbh); so I am loving these so much!

[@Paola-h]

Wow thank you for this video. I too have decided to make it a priority to be more eco friendly this year. I've been doing a lot of research on products, Love some of the items that you picked out because I loved the neutral colors!

[@koalatea8126]

Thank you for this video Desi! I'm sure there will be some people criticizing it for not being perfect, but you're 100% right that all of us doing a little is the most important. Better than a few people being perfectly environmental

[@annathornton9963]

So awesome to see influencers talking about this seriously and making it a habit that people see and pick up. It makes a huge difference to see people doing their part. Love this video so much and once you get used to doing all these things you can start to implement more like clothing changes and other planet friendly habits!!

[@cuetziezz]

Thank you for this! My mom has a stockpile of dryer sheets and Ive always wondered how we could use less of them and not have so much waste. Im gonna get her those dyer balls so once she runs out she can switch over

[@JACLYN3211]

Thank you for sharing this with your huge audience!! This is so important, and we need all type of people/influences talking about it so every type of people sees and hears how important going eco friendly is!

[@laurapezold329]

Love this! 10/10 also suggest composting because food waste makes for toxic landfills. Also, limiting clothes purchasing helps. Not only does it cut back on bags and packaging, but a lot of “donated” clothes end up in landfills still because goodwill and other thrift shops don’t sell everything brought to them. I try and limit my purchases to “3 purchases/month” etc!

[@heatheralisa8658]

everything is super cute!!! I hope almost 2 years later that your items are still in great condition! One thing I would suggest is just to use what you already have! I mean that is why the phrase reduce reuse recycle is in that order. Also if you shave I would like to suggest the leaf razor! it is really nice and will actually save you money over time.

[@meredithpalamountain3702]

if you’ve ever seen the “grass” mats that are used for drying out baby bottles those are really good for drying out the reusable sandwich bags

[@perhapssabrina]

Typically when rich people pretend they're eco-friendly, I scoff. When the Kylie Jenners come to pick up their sisters in their private jets, I can't help but be disgusted. But the disclaimer at the beginning of the video is great. It's important to distinguish yourself not as a spoke-person when you are the top percentage of American income, the most wasteful country on Earth. But to say that you want to change and try while admitting you are not the most eco-friendly person is honest and humble and lets your audience know that we can all be a little bit nicer to the Earth. A great reminder than Desi is not blind to the detriments of such a looks-based industry! Another note is that the BEST way to be eco-friendly is to NOT buy the latest thing all the time. Just stop buying things you don't need... and when you DO need something, buy the reusable, durable, sustainable kind. Some great makeup tips to be eco-friendly is to use reusable cotton pads that can be washed when removing makeup. If that's not your thing, then organic, unbleached cotton wipes are easier to break down or compost than regular ones. Don't dispose makeup containers. Places like Origins take all makeup containers to recycle! MAC takes 6 lipstick tubes when you're done to recycle and they give you a free lipgloss. For clothes, thrift or buy from sustainable brands and stop washing denim so often (ruins it anyway). Only 20% of thrift store clothes actually get purchased, and 80% of all textiles end up in landfills so it's best to repurpose or donate. It truly isn't being about zero-waste. It's very hard, usually exhausting, and most of the time unrealistic to be that way. But if everyone does a little something to help, this can really help the future.

[@LisaKuhle]

Halo Beauty is so nice too. I also have been repurposing my jeans that keep getting holes. There are some really talented people out there that can make your jeans look brand new.

I know you said you liked the non logo cups, but if you ever change your mind I highly recommend banking your Starbucks points and when you reach 400 and get a free stainless steal or glass cup!

[@rikkihurt]

I love the glass storage containers. They are beautiful and clean up so good, not to mention microwave and dishwasher safe. I will say this , I keep a box of butter containers, cool whip containers, etc for when we have Holiday parties or family get together where a lot of food is served. That way our family can take food home, I don't have to worry about getting my container back, & we're finding a use for those containers at the same time. My mom and siblings have started doing it as well so that they are being "recycled"... Also, the dryer balls... Even though it's biodegradable, I ball up foil and put it in the dryer. It's amazing for static and in place of dryer sheets. 😊 Not to mention a million times cheaper... 😂

I want to start planting some veggies and fruits and would love some tips and guidance on how to get it started. Thank you 🥰🥰

I've been trying for awhile now to use eco friendly products. I'm no expert but feels good to help out & most importantly to teach my children. Have you guys heard of shampoo that's in a bar of soap form? Pretty cool waaay less plastic being thrown out if you make the switch...

Everything you said in the beginning is me. Lol. Thank you for trying and showing! You inspire me in so many ways!

I appreciate the effort. 1 thing I’d like to say, YOU DO NOT NEED TO BUY NEW THINGS TO LOWER YOUR WASTE. I know the green washing of the ‘zero waste’ movement is tempting for the aesthetic but think before you buy. Chances are, you already own something that can accomplish the job of what you need a new item for.
