HONESTLY... being totally upfront here... It surprises me, Immy, when I hear you say “it genuinely surprises me when I get something right, that I do something well”... because to me... you hit the ball out of the park all the time, and you have been for years!!

[@ellwormald]

Hey Immy! With the coffee grounds - we had the same problem at home but now I dry them and keep them in a jar. If you leave some in a little dish on the windowsill they are a natural insect repellant, and a scent absorber if left in the fridge. My favourite way to use them though is as an exfoliant cleaner for the sink! I just pour some in and scrub and it really leaves the sink shining. I hope this helps! Always enjoy watching your content and it’s been so encouraging making some sustainable swaps with your guidance ❤️☕️

Thank you for this video. One thing that I do daily; I keep a bucket in my shower to catch the water that would otherwise flow away while I wait for my shower to warm up. I use this water to water my plants and garden.

I sowed radishes and cut-and-come-again salads on my balcony this year. I'm often joking that I call them "my little babies". Actually, it brings me so much joy watching them growing day after day. Thanks for sharing your journey with us! It's always a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@lynnoorman2144]

Last year I was blessed by a friend giving me 3 tomato plants, which inspired me to buy some 'plugs' of lettuce and to sew some spinach. I only have a small, courtyard garden and so these were grown in pots. This year I am growing, from my own seeds, peppers; aubergine; and corgette. I have a small conservatory too and am gonna try all of these ( not including lettuce and spinach- which btw grow in shade) both outside and inside my conservatory. Less food waste, less food miles. Better nutrition. Also am gonna get a water butt.

[@isabelamsel1343]

Appreciating all you have to offer here - I grow rocket (arugula) lettuce kale and spinach in pots on my six-floor balcony - you can eat them as sprouts or baby leaves and they grow for two months before you have to start with new seeds -EASY way to connect to food and grow your own food!

It’s definitely easier to check things off your task list if you know how and feel confident doing them! I’ve noticed that in learning how to cook and bake, if you do it enough and get into the practice, you’re more likely to just do it without thinking about it.

[@theresalwayssomethingtobui944]

I'm so happy that the local farmers market has fresh veggies all year round (like asia-salads, which can grow in winter in Austria), but I am stoked, that fresh radishes are back in season and asparagus will be available in 2-3 weeks! Finally! I really feel what you're getting at with the fresh and lighter foods in spring. As a soil scientist, I can only agree that you do not want to put too much coffee grounds in your soil for Nitrogen. So cool that you try composting as well!

[@SustainablyVegan]

Wow a soil scientist?? That's honestly so so cool. Yes! I'm trying to educate myself on things A LOT before I try them because I'm aiming for positive things haha and not ruining my lovely soil!! I agree, the farmers markets are bringing so many beautiful things now, and will only get better in the warmer months!

[@theresalwayssomethingtobui944]

@@SustainablyVegan That is so cool! Soil is such an amazing medium and so important to treat nicely! We depend on a few centimeters of soil for our food. I hype your compost aspirations too! Since you won't reach the temperature to compost porcessed food residues, the idea you shared in the last video to keep it for greens and raw plant material will help. Yeah, one can study this ;) If you want to read up on gardening to help soil and other wildlife, I can really recommend "Wildlife gardening" by David Goulson. He is a great writer and knows his bugs and bees. Also the scientist Florian Schwinn wrote a good book on soil. But I don't know if it's available in English. Or go on edex and search for soil science. They have a lot of free academic courses from great unis like Wageningen or Delft in the Netherlands (experts on water and soil). :D looking forward to see more plants and your next steps!

[@teengodees4040]

I've always loved leftovers because it means it's a meal for which I don't have to spend extra time in the kitchen. However, I sometimes would forget that I had something in the fridge and that would end up becoming food waste. After diving into sustainability and learning about all that happens to my food before it ends up on my plate and beyond, I've been doing my best to eat any leftovers I have before I cook something else. As well as verifying what I already have on my cupboard. I can relate to the empowerment you speak of when learning about doing things yourself. Recently I've been learning how to make jam with fruits in my house that aren't as fresh and also learning to make my own hummus. Which by the way, both things were delish! These are small steps in my journey, however, to me, they have an important impact on my footprint. Considering that 11,000 tons of waste material are generated in Puerto Rico (my country) every single day. And of that, 40 percent is food waste. On another note, what sources have you used to learn about composting?

[@marycharlebois6627]

Hi there, I’m from 🇨🇦 and we have access to lots of fruits and berries in the summer. Like you, we make a lot of homemade jam, and we love it... especially in the winter time when local fruit is not available. Also, I too, love leftovers. I cook meals with the intention of there being leftovers for the next day. Some things such as soups, sauces, fillings for wraps, etc event taste better the next day.

I try to learn how to deal with leftovers. My parents, especially my dad, taught me to eat my food (even if it was too much) or put it in the compost which is very wasteful but they did not know better. I struggle not to overeat and use the leftovers. But i get better at it every year 😄 I will get Invisalign in a month (lots of plastic but i have really bad teeth and i am scared of getting the metal ones again) and i will not be able to eat more than 2hrs a day with them and i hope it will teach me not to overeat / snack and be more mindful of what i eat. 😊

Was it cast iron pan? What is it like to cook with it ? Apparently it’s high maintenance but the best to cook with as it doesn’t release harmful chemical. Maybe you could do a video on that?

[@marycharlebois6627]

Hey Kristina... maybe I can share a little bit of experiential knowledge with you about cast iron? It is really easy to cook with and, like you said, it does not release harmful chemicals. I do not find it to be high maintenance at all. I suggest looking for previously-loved cast iron Dutch ovens or skillets in a 2nd hand store, online, or at garage sales etc, as the older... the better. The older ones are smooth on the bottom and are usually pre-seasoned, whereas the new ones are porous and rough on the bottom... not good! Seasoning cast iron cookware is super simple... it just takes a bit of oil and an hour in the oven (lots of online tutorials available I’m sure). Also, you can put cast iron in the oven and cook over the fire with it too, so it is very multi-purpose. One key thing to making the seasoned cooking surface last is to wash or scrub cast iron with hot water only and NO soap. With cast iron you can cook with oil or water... I use them for all my cooking😃 Sorry for the length of this comment, I hope this is helpful info for you. Have a great day, hopefully with lots of relaxation and ☀️.

I'm not living zero waste and It's also not completely possible. But I do try to consume less every time. And now with the lockdown in my country and having to make an appointment before you can go by a store makes this really easy, I only buy what I need and I buy second hand as well. I am aslo building my tiny house (together with my dad) building a house can create some waste, but less than a 'normal' house. And we've also tried to use as many second hand materials as possible, we can't build with too many recycled materials because that takes so much time and I'm not building on my own property so that's just too expensive, and some materials are not natural like my insulation because it isolates better, I'm trying to follow as many building rules as possible. But with the tiny house comes a composting toilet, and you actually save around 37 litres of water a day per person. Which is really crucial ina tiny house that collects rainwater because you really live with the seasons. Also a smaller showerhead can save a lot of water. I bought one online and it was actually even smaller than I thought, so i guess I'll be saving a lot of water. I'll also be living in a community which I'm really excited about and you can share things easily instead of everyone owning the same things. I go to art school and in my class there's a friend who started a fabric and yarn library where you can leave behind what you don't use and grab what you want to use. That's a really simple way to consume less even for people who do consume more because you can still use things, but you don't have to buy it new.

I do have a question related to water maybe you can address it in one of your videos (or someone can answer me this question here).. So I am completely on board with the idea of not wasting any water on a global scheme and in agriculture and saving water for money reasons. But is it "necessary" to be very cautious about water in the UK (as in is there a water shortage or would the UK be better off if private households would waste less water)? obviously I am not talking about having a giant pool in the garden or something like that, just about the normal households and water consumption. back in the days I did watch a documentary that said that if private households would be very cautious about their water, it might actually be a problem because our drainage system needs it (and also we do clean that water and kind of recycle it). but that is a long time ago and I don't know how legit this information actually is.

Don’t know if this is overboard for you but, you could stand in a wash bin as you shower and use the water to flush the toilet. I don’t do this anymore but I did when I lived in a third world country where water was very very scarce. But really it’s no trouble at all. I should probably start again.

My family call mix-matched leftover meals "musgoes" because we're using up all the food that must go : )

I’m just like you used to be: never finish my water! But I use the leftovers to water my plants instead. Also, water that has been in a glass for a couple of hours is still perfectly drinkable.

Do you ever just have a day of not being motivated for anything and do nothing but hang around or so? I am always sooo impressed by how you do at least one productive thing at a day (and mostly more). Don't get me wrong - it always makes me really happy to watch this but how did you get there? :D
