HOW MUCH WASTE DO I GENERATE IN A DAY ? / what I eat/follow me around in a day in my zero waste life

[@biablackbutterfly]

A guide will really be amazing!

[@karobythell4425]

And i really liked your trash explanation too , and your encouragement to everyone to just do the best they can do in their environment . You are such an encouraging soul . You share such good info so easily and are so easy to learn from . What an educator you are !!!! This was a wonderful format , hope you repeat this in another vid sometime ...

[@Gittemary]

Thank you for this amazing feedback, I’ll definitely do this again

I love how you show how we can be more conscious of our waste. Also, I love your style, adult emo and all!

Thank you so much 😍✨

This brightness on your doggy eyes when she knows a walk is coming!! lovely!!

[@Gunnbrit]

Would be lovely with a guide with the symbols, combined with a general sorting and recycling guide, as it sometimes can be a little hard navigating in beyond plastic, metal and cardbord.

[@glencop8842]

Yes please make a video talking about the symbols!!!! 👀

[@Gittemary]

That’ll definitely be coming then 🙌🙌

[@gleslemmas]

Ever since i was little i was taught to eat the pea pods raw and honestly, I think these are the best part(even the ones that are not sweet peas )! I do it by cracking one end of the open pea pod and pull it townwards to peel the thin membrane off (which is chewy and does not taste good). Sometimes it does not want to come off in one piece and then i just crack that in half and get the membrane off that way.

[@kimberlyhenry7717]

I always love that you point out that any changes to be more sustainable are good, and that no one is perfect. And that what zero waste looks like it one part of the world, isn't feasible in another. Being more eco-friendly isn't all or nothing, and I love that you make sure people know that. 😊

[@Kodamako713]

I've recently discovered that oatmilk is awesome for making sauces because it sort of creates its own roux without having to add flour. My family started making our own oatmilk because of your channel and my kids (thankfully) love it!

[@HanonSama]

I'm from Texas and a lot of our food comes from "the valley" in south texas, sometimes you can find people selling yellow watermelons and black diamond watermelons on the side of the road, but you can also find people selling conventional produce with stickers they couldn't be bothered to peel off at the farmer's market. Even worse- they markup the prices of the produce when you could go to the store and buy it for much cheaper.

[@keilavaldes3758]

I love how you talk about focusing on things you can control because sometimes eco anxiety occurs but putting energy into what we can control is a great feeling for us and the environment! Love you and I hope I grow into a more sustainable person! ☺

[@niknikkuta4241]

In Australia we can recycle tetra pak with our glass/plastic/aluminium. It's called Return & Earn (in NSW) & you get $0.10 (10 cents) for every container you recycle. Glass is one section & everything else goes into another section. This is separate to our household recycling that gets collected from our homes by the council.

[@crystalcozycorner]

I would save the scraps to make a homemade veggie broth, or an idea that might be worth trying is making them in to chips!

[@TheConfettiMonster]

To those who call you an "idealist", my two kids and I live a very realistic low-waste lifestyle (we bring our own bags to the local farm for produce, byob to the bulk store, avoid plastic, our clothes and toys are secondhand/thrifted, we compost, etc.) and all of these routines and systems are the continuation of a "zero-waste" journey that began several years ago. I guess my point is that sustainable living is actually very realistic for most people who make a decent salary/wages, but it takes time, as all good things do.

[@vickyjansen3544]

Where I live there is still no bulk store near me because of covid. I saw a video of these guys taking onion skins, carrot skins, garlic skins, carrot tops, and drying them out in the oven to make powder. They then took the powder and blended them up with some mayo to make a sauce for under a vegetable. I found it interesting. I don't know what you can do with those pea pods. For me this year I've really focusing on food waste and eating everything I can possibly can. I've been eating the orange skins or hand dry them cut into bits to use for teas or blending them into powder. The powder I make a spice blend like mixing it up with garlic granules, onion powder, thyme, and orange peel powder. Everything is a wonderful experience to try to improve each day. Love watching your videos.....thanks again

[@phoebegraveyard7225]

I grew peas next to my raspberries. Open the pea pod, remove the peas, stuff pod with raspberries and top with the peas. My kids grew up thinking that “foraging dessert “ in the garden was normal

[@queenofthefae5]

You can freeze the veg scraps (pea shells, onion skins, carrot skins, etc) and make vegetable stock. You'll still have to compost the scraps afterwards but you can get a second use out of them.

[@lizziesoddprojects2120]

Yes to all questions!

[@eowyn3526]

the pea-shells are great in a vegetable stir fry!

[@joliesaul1630]

I also like to save all of my veg scraps and make vegetable broth before composting them.

[@priscillajimenez27]

I know it was only about .05% of the video... but I love the scene where you are riding Jessie down the street to the market... love that amazing Danish architecture and Jessie 💜. Also... this sewing teacher loves your safety pin art work... it will make the perfect tattoo!! Hello “General Waste”... we are trying to eliminate you, but we know that in our society you will be with us for a while. Closing in on 100K Gittemary... Whoop!! Whoop!! Great video, thank-you!

[@federicapaleari6857]

Hi! In my family we usually cook peas peel too, it tastes amazing, it just needs a bit more to cook than peas. Give it a try!! Or if you don't want to cook them too, you can boil them with carrots and onions to create broth💚💚

[@melissagoode151]

One of the biggest struggles I've had since moving from a city to a rural area is how hard it is to be 'zero waste' and the absolute lack of understanding and compassion from zero waste circles. I drive an hour to a grocery store and as a result I buy a lot of stuff that is packaged and will last longer so I can drive less frequently and not produce food waste. I'd love to see less judgement we aren't going to get people on board blaming personal choices

[@GarouLady]

PS - you can slice those pea pods into slivers and put them into a stir fry. They might not be "sweet" but I have used them in stir fries and ramen recipes with no issues at all.

[@andrilouca4389]

You can boil them then frie garlic with olive oil put some flower water vinegar salt and peper and mix all together for a few second (love from cyprus)

[@melaniepattison4170]

I like that you are showing the actual waste that you make in a day. It sets the tone for more reasonable expectations and goals. Please keep doing this in your future videos 🙂

[@Gittemary]

I will definitely keep including my waste in the vlogs from now on 😍

[@vaivaaaa]

i internally squealed as soon as i saw the solidu shampoo bars! they’re made right here in my city and i find it so cool that people abroad use them as well!! i am nearing the end of my first pair and i absolutely love them (i think i use the same conditioner which is so good lush could NEVER) also, yes please make a video on the recycling symbols, that would be extremely helpful 💜💜

[@mariadesantiago8696]

So close to 100k! I’m so happy for you!! I do appreciate your content!

You can also use that portion of the crop top as a diy belly band and gift it to a pregnant friend or neighbor. I made a few belly bands for myself when I was pregnant.

Yeeees Please make a guide of the symbols!!! pleaseeeee ♻️

[@claireripari6637]

Yes a guide for the symbols would be lovely.

[@marialucilabalanzino4973]

Great Video ♥️ We still have a lot to learn as a society in terms of sustainability. In my country people normally isn't conscious about the waste impact and it's very sad. I try my best every day and I completely agree with your flexibility, to be committed to the cause doesn't mean that you have to be hard on yourself. Thanks a lot !!! I love your good vibes 😊

[@sustainableteacheryt]

Yes!! The guide must be really useful!! And thank for sharing your trust!! I love to sea that you're a normal person caring about the planet :)

[@TheJoanaPADJ]

You are amazingly nice and I love the fact you carefully made sure that the most important part of all of this is not being able to always have your waste fit in a mason jar. It was such a nice touch to be sure that people dont feel guilty. I would love a video about small symbols yes!

[@merel8915]

Yess would love a symbol/number guide! Because I am always confused (or mostly overwhelmed) by going into this...

[@angelakneller2880]

You could make vegetable stock with the peelings etc. And use it in soups, risotto’s etc xx

[@Crazycrackerplans]

Also i would love if you did a video all about your smoothies because they all sound yummy and interesting

[@Gittemary]

I would definitely do like a blogpost with the different types of smoothies I make on the daily 🌿

[@mathildelonborg]

I love to see your waste and would love more of that in vlogs. It makes it all so tangible and I also live in Denmark so we have a lot of the same options.

[@Gittemary]

[@AD-jj3hd]

Love these videos, I'm always challenging myself to do a little bit better, last year I took put my city garbage bin every 6 months, this year I'm challenging myself to 7. Its been hard with the pandemic though and choosing local resturants with waste (as most of the time we couldn't eat in and I didn't feel comfortable doing that either) but local vs physical waste is always a a debate for me. I have sent messages to places about their packaging and most of them have been very responsive but also lots of people have complained about the more eco friendly packaging because of spills so what can you do.

[@FilterNelkul]

The best part is at 09:03 XD we love Moles

[@Gittemary]

Haha she really is the best 😂 adult emo forever

[@kirapond3723]

I either compost the pea pods or I chop them up pretty small and add it to stir fries/fried rice or occasionally to pasta sauces if I happen to be canning some at the time 😀

[@Gittemary]

Really good ideas 😍

[@micivalantincic8227]

Hahha I loved the little "Molls" clip, lasts like a second in the middle of you showing dish washing soap. Btw I envy that you can eat that gluten free pasta. I asked in my bulk shop and they told me that all of their gluten free pasta is "contaminated" for someone like me-I have celiac:( so I have to buy pasta in plastic bags or risk getting sick. I wish they could somehow separete it in the store.

[@jylr.7629]

Yes a guide would be wonderful

[@timikaballantyne6144]

Would love a video on the symbols! I use the to put the pea pods in a broth or a soup. Xx

[@nikowearden252]

you can make green juice from the pea pods, I know there will still be some pulp waste but less, and it's really fresh tasting! nice with lemon. I think it would also be possible to boil them and blend them to make a puree or soup without any waste, but sometimes I'm not too much of a fan of very fibrous things in soups/purees so I haven't tried that.

[@Gittemary]

All really good ideas 😍

I’ve never thought about that cardboard can’t be recycled. I live in Sweden and all cardboard packaging I’ve come across says: sort as cardboard at the back of the packaging. Even if it is a cardboard, plastic blend as I understand it. It is crazy that it can vary so much from country to country.

[@coralovesnature]

It is indeed crazy (& confusing sometimes). I live in the US and have had waste disposal providers who specifically say that “shiny” (aka plastic blend) paper/ cardboard products are recyclable. But it can vary widely from provider to provider, even in the same city!

[@sannajensen5448]

@@coralovesnature Why do they make it so damn complicated!!

[@loraleeclark3823]

The only thing I know to do with the English pea pods is to freeze them and then when you have enough you make a pea flavored stock. Then compost the plant matter/fibers that are left. If you find another use, can you let us know? Thanks!

In the state of Michigan USA we have a bottle deposit of 10 cents for carbonated beverages, be it beer, soda pop, sparkling water etc. It's my hope that they put a bottle deposit on every beverage container so more returns and recycling can happen.

Italians are very good at cooking veggie pods.

[@zuzinap]

A recycling symbols guide would be great, but please make sure to stress that it can vary by country or even within a country. Like in my country (Czechia), you can actually recycle stuff like milk cartons (tetrapak), in some cities we even have special containers for it. (But the plastic from inside of the carton probably doesn't get recycled ☹ ) One day hopefully it won't be so confusing, at least within regions like EU.

[@PrincessCakemon]

Yes, I want the guide for recycling symbols as well :) this is not common knowledge and I could refer so many people to it

i love your vlog/fma type videos so much!!! and i'd love a regular update on how much rubbish you produce each time because it's so interesting to see how it varies!! it's really discouraging sometimes for me, because ever since going vegan, i've been producing so much more tetrapak and yoghurt cup waste because you can get lots of dairy in glass jars/bottles, but i haven't seen any german supermarket carry vegan products in glass :/ and rationally i know that it's not only about reducing VISIBLE waste, but in the end it's hard not to beat yourself down about it, ya feel? anyway, i'd love to hear more about your daily waste and also an explanation on the mixed material symbols because those are... confusing 😂 have a nice day!! 🌼💕
