I RECYCLED PAPER AT HOME! How many times can paper be recycled tested at home 🙀

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

Have you ever done something like this at home? What should I try next?

[@rebeccas3455]

Your experiments of testing general beliefs about recycling, composting & sustainability are so enjoyable for my analytical brain to watch 🤩🤓

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

Aww, thanks Rebecca!! It's fun for my analytical brain to test haha I am glad I am not the only one enjoying these experiments. Thank you so much for following along on my journey :)

This was SUCH a cool video! I have shredded paper my fiancé shredded because it had personal information on, and I’ve just kinda been holding onto it because I don’t think my recycling center takes paper if it’s shredded, so I might try to make our wedding invitations out of it :) we shall see! Thanks for spending the time making this video, Emma!

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

one of my favorite videos to date! that would be SOOOO cool!!!

[@kalleyh8424]

I loved this. I decided I'm not going to buy cards anymore but now I want to recycle my mail and add some flowers or something to make cute cards! Definitely trying for Valentines day

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

that would be SO cool!!

[@ChewonThat]

So amazing!! 9 times?? Unreal! Gonna have to try this myself😊

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

YES! I was so excited about it! I hope you have fun :)

Great video! I love the approach to learning of "I want to understand this better, so I'm going to do my own experiment". Would have loved to see you take it to the next level and show the weight in a graph, average rate of decrease etc... But maybe that's just the scientist/data nerd in me 😉

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

Aww, thanks Anna!! this was such an easy experiment, too! Much easier than, say, recycling plastics haha! That is a good thing to keep in mind for future experiments! Makes it much more easy to visualize, nice tip ;)

[@Tomanita]

This was super insightful and entertaining! You're right, it's different to actually see the process of recycling.

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

It was so cool to see the process and do it myself! I'm glad you enjoyed :)

[@finessence808]

I love watching stuff like this!

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

aww thank you!! You would probably also enjoy my video in which I dyed my own socks using FOOD SCRAPS!! kzbin.info/www/bejne/l3_Jmq1qhd11pLM

[@kevinlevin8941]

It would be great if you can just put them together in series to notice the change after every recycling.

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

That is what I did in this video :)

[@indiag6361]

I loooove your letterboard countdown XD

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

haha thank you! We are excited to move onto bigger and better things :) down to about 230 days!

[@shannonalaminski2619]

So when common sense tells us nothing lasts forever, can we choose, when it comes to making paper, to add a little something new (er) to any batch, to every batch? Yes. Why not? Thank you very much for the visualization. I had only thought about re re re re etc... cycling. Hadn't done the experiment.

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

yes they add new stuff when recycling commercially this is just an experiment to see how many times you can do it without adding any new fibers :)

[@koiyuwills9411]

Don't know how well it works but I have a friend that mixes in dryer lint

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

woah that's interesting! I'll have to try it out!

[@brittasings]

That’s super resourceful!
