The Best Sustainable Products For Zero Waste Living | Eco Friendly | Lucie Fink

[@nataliehui6356]

I'm taking an environmental course in uni and one thing my prof said was the planet itself doesn't need our saving, we have to save ourselves from the planet because the adaptation rate of human is much slower than the rate of changes caused by climate change. it scares me to see people living like we have forever. people always say there's not much they can do about the climate or their one piece of plastic doesn't matter.. I wanna remind everyone that if everyone is willing to make a slight change, it can be very impactful to the earth. if you don't care about the planet, think about yourself and the ecosystem that you are destroying :(

[@luciebfink]

wow that is scary!! thanks for your reminder :)

[@RoamwithRach]

That’s so true!! Thanks for sharing. It’s scary to think humans could wipe themselves out of existence ☹️

A quick low-waste coffee hack: Run your coffee machine twice per batch of grounds. Freeze the second batch in your ice cube trays and use those for iced coffee instead of water. Your coffee will be stronger and you'll be putting the grounds to better use. Coffee beans are super resource-intensive to grow and often require a heavy dose of pesticides which can be harmful to the soil. The more we can get out of them, the better! If you want to get really crazy, you can even make a face mask out of them. :)

[@x8Sophie]

I throw my coffee grounds into soil in my backyard to help out with the plants! That way they’re being put back into even better use and helping the plants!

[@Evaprft]

I will definitely do this from now on! Thanks.

Hot tip! Keep a small bucket in your shower when you have your daily wash and you can use that to water your plants instead of using fresh drinking water.... saves me and my house mates about $100 in water bills for the quarter

[@AbigailSmith]

Phoebe Ryman woah! This is awesome!

[@tiffanyann7409]

Such a great idea!! We save rain water too to help water our plants since we’ve been getting a lot of rain lately. I found the giant tub on craigslist for only $20 when it would be way more expensive at a feed store!

[@MMM-ov6hr]

I do this when I’m running water & waiting for it to get hot, it’s such a good trick!

[@drew-un3os]

Im going to do this

[@RoamwithRach]

That’s so smart!!

[@willowfieldrose]

I was born 7 days late, so instead of being born on Tax Day I was born on Earth Day. So every year, I get to celebrate another year of my life, and another year of working towards sustainability and zero waste. Being poor slows down the speed of my progress, but I’m still moving towards my goal. It’s incredibly important to live zero waste so that I may show others that you don’t have to be at least lower class to be able to live sustainably and in a healthy manner, but that it can be sustainable for poor people too, for their wallets, for themselves, and for the world.

[@mady3187]

In Highschool I started to become more aware about the damage we are doing to our planet. My best friend lives in Norway and when I finally saved enough money to visits her, it amazed me how much everyone over there does to help save our Earth. They recycle, grow there own food, and eliminate plastic. I’ve been vegan for three years now and I had thought that was all I could do to save our Earth, but there are plenty of more ways for us to improve- for me to improve. This may be a selfish reason for me to want to persevere our planet, but I want to travel after college and in my adult years. I want to show my future children the world and all it’s beauties. I don’t want to show them a broken Earth corrupt with pollution. I care deeply about animals and it saddens me that many species could go extinct in the next few years- not because of natural climate change but because of our pollution and speeding of global warming.

[@violethaye6987]

yeah zero waste, minimalism, spreading awareness, volunteering.

[@Sugarfoxi]

Waste free living is soooooo important to me because I'm a dental student so that makes a HECK lot of single use plastic waste, much of which that's unavoidable for health and hygiene - therefore I'm really really trying to cut down on all waste in other areas of my life so that I can try to balance out my ecological footprint 💚

[@alexisw3301]

Sustainability is something I’m so passionate about for so many reasons. We depend on the environment for so many things and the way we are treating it makes me so sad! The enormous amount of plastic we produce and consume is killing so many animals as they consume the garbage and as it gets into our food system and has an impact on our health too and it’s terrifying. Two documentaries I watched recently that make me want to do even more is Chasing Coral and Plastic Ocean and I would recommend them to everyone!

[@isabellac3598]

As someone who aspires to work in environmental policy and security, waste free living is important to me because it allows me to do my individual part. These swaps are all so easy to acquire and switch to but can get pricey! I try to live as zero waste as possible so that I can reduce my carbon foot print locally while in the future pressuring countries to do so globally 🌿🌎👏🏻

[@jocelynbulger]

I'm trying to make my life more sustainable any way I can! I'm starting an event planning company that will be focused on making the events and wedding industry less wasteful. I hope to get local vendors to get on board with me! Making my personal life more sustainable will only help push me to do more with my business 😊

[@sabeelkhan9318]

Hlo how are u are u event planner company your investment

[@robguevara7]

Hey! Did you start that event planning company? How is it going? I'm working with an AV company and we're going to start using some sustainable gear for small events. Would be nice to hear about your company

[@fionam5879]

You should mention in your next sustainability video that lyft carbon offsets all its rides! Use lyft instead of Uber!

[@anastasiablazhenova3692]

Hi, great job! I just wanted to point out that if you use some product in glass and then recycle it (instead of upcycling) then actually it hardy more environmentally friendly than using a product in plastic and then recycling it. The same goes for tin packaging (like the toothpaste in the video). It may seem controversial, but it's because of production of glass and aluminium requires more water and produces more greenhouse gases, also since glass and aluminium cans are heavier than plastic, their transportation leaves greater carbon footprint as well. Recycling of glass also takes more water and energy than the recycling of plastic. So, unfortunately, it is not that easy as just "not use plastic!", but people almost never talk about it. I personally decided to opt for plastic packaging that is easily recyclable where I can't go zero-waste or with reusables. That means no mixed materials, no pumps or sprays for beauty products. P.S. Also just a quick notion that even though I absolutely love your glass containers for food in the fridge, if one uses the same plastic containers to store food for like 10 years and then recycles them - it is just as good :)

[@cathealey1]

Just wanted to drop a note that it's also prudent to consider where you stand on microplastics, and that plastic breaks down over time (and leeches stuff into the food it contains).

[@alyssaclark5133]

More so, glass can be recycled an infinite number of times, whereas plastic cannot. In addition, the type of plastic determines the number of times it can be recycled.

[@valeriedeehr4937]

Eco-friendly living is important to me because I live near the Great Lakes! Throughout the years I have watched the lakes change. In recent years I've seen an increase in litter and the unusual rise and fall of the water level.🌊

[@GabbiPeezy]

In a small town, it's hard to seek out sustainable local resources so the easiest way for me to help the environment is to start in my own home! Thanks for the ideas ❤️

[@jennp5275]

Thank you for sharing your sustainable products! I think it’s important to note that you don’t have to go out and buy all new things to be more “eco friendly.” The point is to reduce and reuse where you can, like you did with your pickle jar.

[@veanne]

love how this is very quick to the point!! i went through the whole video with no skips, and it is actually helpful!!

[@cerenturna]

This can be one the most beneficial videos i have ever seen in youtube. I want to take actions to save our world and thank you for so much new ideas, please update us once in a while 🙋🏻‍♀️✨🍀

[@adebaldo92]

I have been making an active effort to switch to using my stasher bags for all my lunches! I work with kids and see all the baggies they and my coworkers use! Now my coworkers think my stasher bags are cool and fun and want them for themselves! Just spreading awareness and shaping peoples daily’s impression of sustainable living ❤️

[@jesenialaureano4471]

Living waste free is important to me because it helps contribute less to landfills and each part matters. A good quote i like to explain this is "what the earth needs is not 1 person doing zero wast perfectly, but 3 million people doing it imperfectly."

[@erinanderson1057]

Sustainable living is important to me because I want to keep this earth clean for me but also the future generations. I want my kids to be able to see how beautiful the earth is.

[@ashleyjo2442]

I love this I swear I try to tell everyone if all else fails I save lots and lots of money on my up cycles and sustainable lifestyle 💕 I love when you do videos like this I always tell people to watch your video where you talk about your period cup because no one believes me how easy and freaking great it is

[@georgiawickens9687]

I have been watching you since you first started to make videos on sustainability and creating less waste. It is so cool that you have used your platform and voice for such great things!!! Sustainable live and reducing the waist we leave on this planet is very important to me as I’m still very young and I’m going to have to live on this planet for the next 80 year + hopefully, this means I am and my children are going to have to live in a world full of pollution, rubbish, extreme weather conditions and so much more if we don’t start to make the changes NOW! And this is just one of those chances that we need to do.

[@lightningbug3016]

Your journey towards sustainability has been truly beautiful to watch. From that first "Trying Zero Waste" to now, you have delved into the lifestyle with an open mind and a passionate heart. Thank you

[@julianovis1123]

Living waste-free (or at least trying to) is important to me since I’m someone in a position where I can make sustainable choices and inspire my community to do the same

[@TheHoopla13]

Waste-free living is so important for the sustainability of our planet! Plus, there's a lot of chemicals in plastics, like BPA, that aren't good for consumers, so moving away from single use plastics is important for both us and the planet. The amount of waste we create from single-use products is maddening. Thanks for helping to spread awareness and ideas, Lucie! 🌎

[@caryncarson643]

Back in the 90’s and with my first daughter, I was close to being waste free. I had 5 more kids in close succession and it slipped down my priorities list. Now that they are all tweens/teens, I want to get back to some of my earlier values. I’m also teaching my youngest 4 daughters how to take care of themselves and want to steer them towards green hygiene and beauty products.

[@viniccius-77cyberpunk3]

Man the grace of the banana is that it has just peel so you can reuse it in recipes or for plants!

[@justmeherexx482]

Thank you for this video. We have substantially reduced our paper towel use by using bamboo paper towels. They are washable and they also rinse very clean. We’re doing the glass bottle thing too. I’m eager to try some of those skin care products as well.

[@emaliehendel2309]

We’ve been trying so hard to lower the waste we produce in our household. It’s important to me because I really think most items come on way too much packaging for no reason, and all of those ressources end up being wasted. I love this video!

[@sarapelicannguyen]

I love that you are giving attention to cutting down on waste and setting a good example for viewers of all ages. Not enough influencers are in my opinion.

[@nataliataylor8988]

Great video! I love how you store food in glass jars in the fridge. I'm definitely going to start doing that. I use the tongue scraper and a mooncup too which have been great!

[@luciebfink]

Natalia yes yes yes!😊

[@Roguey84]

I use sea salt and water with lavender oil as a antiperspirant deodorant. Never needed to ever buy deodorant again. I original bought from crystal spray deodorant and saw it was just salt water. It had amazing reviews and bc it’s a spray I can use it on my whole family so I bought it. It works amazing and u can spray anywhere u don’t want to sweat. It works on my husband and 13 yr old son perfectly. I started making my own and now I don’t need to ever spend on deodorant.

[@reesepedersen2102]

So excited!! Thanks to you I have started a more zero waste routine!!

[@luciebfink]

WOW amazing!!! This is the best to hear!

Sustainability is so important even little changes in your daily routine make a difference. My sustainability journey started with reusable cotton face pads and it encouraged me to figure out other ways to reduce waste in my life. It all starts with a first step.

[@cayleesteenbock8901]

Love the video! Totally inspired to make my life more sustainable!

[@TigerSportsBalm]

Honestly at this point trying to be zero waste has become really fun! My roommates must think I’m crazy because I always look through the trash and recycling to collect their jars and containers. Plus I’m always telling them “you can compost that” but hey all for the earth! I’m trying to be more sustainable because I feel that every person has the responsibility to at least care a little bit. I’ve always cared about the environment and it is a passion I have no clue where it came from but at the end of the day Mother Earth provides so much for us the least we can do is try to live sustainably.

[@jessica6867]

Zero waste is important because less plastic and garage is going into the water and impacting our ecosystem. Thank you for sharing your must have eco items!

[@emilyibrahim6937]

This is soo important and very much needed! Everyone should try and begin with baby steps that take 0 effort in order to help and revover our beautiful nature

[@macsaucee4447]

Living waste-free is important to me because we only have one earth. It is important that we take care of it, better than we have been, and we respect it. I want to have kids some day that can enjoy the same salty, clean ocean I enjoy now. It’s important to me because it’s my future and my kids future as well (someday hehe) 💗

[@vsachar8318]
