Yes! i would also add big tip for begginers - if you already have any plastic bags, bottles, containers - use them until they are totally broke. There is no point of throwing away anything that we're already purchased.

A faster alt for gettin labels off, just soak in COLD water. Ice water is best. You should be able to peel/roll/flick it right on off. I worked at a juice bar where we reused our glass jars and it made re-labeling 1000000x faster

In this world where we are bombarded with "buy this" and "you must have the best of that," it is refreshing to see that you, too, have holes in your paper towel replacements. I, however, also have stains, as apparently I spill coffee, curry, and elderberry syrup pretty often, and I have yet to discover how to remove any of these from cloth. Any tips? I also love that you showed up how you store them! Going green with cloth towels and cloth napkins instead of paper is one thing, but having a good storage system that you'll actually stick to is another! While your method is beautiful, I have found that smaller towels (like wash cloths) work better for us bc they're easier for my kids to fold and put away, and they're easier on the washer for small spills vs bigger flour sac towels. Love your channel!!

Instead of soaking off labels, you can use a blow dryer. Heat it up for a few minutes and then the label peels right off including most of the adhesive. Much quicker and cleaner.

Just remember to not use blow dryers on plastic, because it can change it's shape from the heat (wanted to do this once to reuse the packaging... big mistake). Also sometimes better than blow dryer is just hot water (don't use on plastic too). And as mentioned oil seems to help (never used it but I saw people using it). As for myself I discover that some random make-up remover that I found in the house removes the glue so you can also try that (I guess it's because it also contains oil).

Good vid! I’m in the process of becoming more sustainable. A couple things that has helped me thus far: 1. Don’t fall into the zero waste aesthetic trap. There are many DIY projects that can be used at home and may reduce the need to buy products to become more sustainable. 2. community gardens and farmer’s markets can help. I’ve got a tiny garden plot (3x4), doesn’t produce much but it’s so satisfying to grow your own food. Looking forward to more videos!

For example, Americans drink water in a plastic bottle even at their home? I even don’t buy plastic beverages while I’m out. I refill my cup. I hope people understand that we’re living in a world with limited resources. 😢 And I appreciate that you’re sharing sustainable living

I loved this! Beautiful video and message. Also, like you show with the glass jars: one of the most environmentally friendly thing we can do is use what we already have (instead of replacing items that work with new, trendy objects)! There is no need, for example, to buy a new 'zero-waste' cutlery set for eating out, when we can use the good ol' knife and fork we already have at home, just wrapped in a towel. It's ok to keep using the plastic Tupperware for storage, unless it's really damaged. As you say, the point is to purchase less. :)

Such good advice, I know people trying to be more eco conscious but they are trying to buy their way out of the problem. I had lots of Tupperware containers and I am not just going to throw them out to buy new metal or glass ones if they are still usable. Old t-shirts are also great to cut up and use as paper towels or I have seen sewing tutorials to turn them into the facial rounds, can't sew so I also just bought the bamboo ones you have. Love the content 🌱🌱🌱🌱🌱 would love to see more of these and also maybe more what I eat in a day, or recipe videos.

This was a really good video miss. The editing on point. The tone of your voice. The content. The way you laid it out. Good stuff ty. It’s almost becoming a war within me to switch over to a much more sustainable lifestyle. I can’t in good conscious keep living this way. And I am feeling enriched by wanting to make these changes. I would also like to homestead in a very rural area someday so I will need to live sustainably.

I love those bags for bulk ingredients for the grocery store. I hate having to use plastic for that. I have been recycling much more now, and have also started to compost. I have reduced so much waste by composting.

one of my favorite things i've bought that has helped me become less wasteful is a bidet! Tushy is a great brand (great price). I use the bamboo towels to clean off the water from the bidet instead of toilet paper. The only time i use regular toilet paper is on my period, which I use less of with the bidet! Over time you will save money. also the brand that came out with the "last straw: is working on a reusable toilet paper towel! however, just any regular old towel can work!

We can reuse the twist ties, though. If you have a local farmers market, some farms will take any twist ties, rubber bands, or bread clips you have leftover. Same with egg cartons. My mother in law takes all those things to our local farm and they give her a minor discount and reuse her items to bind less desirable food for the discount bin and reuse the egg cartons. My local farm also makes their own pickles, sauces, salsa, jelly, and honey. So they’ll take our used glass jars and reuse them, and they’ll take plastic honey bears to wash and reuse. (EDIT)

I have a tiny dog and she uses wee pads as I am at work all day. I have tried reusable pads but I don’t have a washing machine in my apartment and putting it in a container still smelled. It still smelled after washing it. I don’t know a better option as I feel guilty using the disposable pads. Love your message and how you are not judgmental and that changing is a process
