ZERO WASTE CHRISTMAS (?) // turning holiday traditions eco friendly

This is completely random, but I absolutely love when you add and pronounce what things are called in Danish too. 🥰

I think the hearts would make a wonderful gift or decoration on a package.

[@Monica-nm5hh]

I would adore getting a gift like the hearts you made. This can be kept out all year. And it reminds the receiver of the person who gave it to them.

That wooden tree is a classic. Will last your whole life. Beautifully aesthetic and meaningful. LOVE it. Those ornaments are cute and would make lovely gifts as they have been crafted with love and time and thought and are helping to send the zero waste message. Every time someone sees them or comments on them it will be an opportunity to let them know that waste can be turned into something beautiful that can be used over and over.

Thanks for the hearts ornaments idea, I have a dishtowel that has the perfect pattern to do this with! We don't have a Xmas tree, our 2 cats love them too much. Instead I go get the discarded branches from a local Xmas tree vendor. I trim them, put them in vases with water and decorate with recycled ribbons from previous gifts. It smells soooo good and last several weeks. Every year I dry some oranges, lemons or limes slices in the oven and string them as a mobile that I hang in my kitchen window. I made garlands with leftover jute twine, small driftwood sticks and pine cones collected during camping trips . I've added white string lights, painted wooden beads and stars found in a thrift store. So fun to decorate with pre-loved items and make memories last longer

What a beautiful wood tree ❤❤❤

[@suzy8track]

That wooden tree is spectacular. I have two small trees that I found in the trash last year that are in great condition. Love your homemade heart ornaments. I tend to use dryer lint as filler for craft projects, I just save it in a sealed bag.

[@taylabria]

You should definitely give those ornaments as gifts! They're really cute!!

[@anyawillowfan]

You could definitely give the hearts as gifts, however if you've stuffed them with anything but fabric, make sure the receiver knows they can't put them in the washing machine or fully submerge in hot water.

[@nhuslage]

for gifts for my friends, this year I'm making cookie plates. I thrifted Christmas plates and I will fill them with cookies I baked and a little note of appreciation for all they mean to me. I'm delivering them on the 20th!

[@Sophie-g4m6s]

Love this!! Spotted a free Palestine 🇵🇸 sticker! Yes boycott Coca Cola! We have some good alternatives now in the UK. I think give the hearts away as gifts! So cute! xx 🇵🇸♥️🍉🧿🇸🇩 Merry Christmas Gittemary x

Merry Christmas Gittemary🎄🍸🎄

[@katrinao8902]

I love meaningful ornaments, ones gifted/made/picked up during travels, so I would love opening a gifted ornament. They turned out great 👍🏻 Happy Holidays to your loved ones!

[@thinkingbout]

Love the ornaments! You could definetly gift them to someone else :) Our Christmas traditions also revolve a lot around food. Coming together enjoying that food. Because of space reasons we sadly haven't had a christmas tree in years - which on the bright sight is more sustainable. I only gift my closest family something and have the rule that it has to be something they have a real use for (as I wish the same for myself since I haven't convinced my family of stopping gifr giving yet). One of the presents is a coupon for something the person wants to do for a while now but didn't put the money into it and the other present isn't second hand but I looked out for a good quality product from a regional producer that will last the person idealy for her lifertime. We still have some wrapping paper, that we bought years ago, so we are still using that up and try to reuse as much as possible (giftbags are getting gifted back and forth again and again anyway) ;)

Thanks for the inspiration. I was trying to think of one more gift for my son and I got him a pair of tickets to a museum he's been wanting to see.

[@Claire-m7y]

I appreciated you going to the art exhibition, funny enough I was just at the national gallery of women in the arts! Twins lol. Also you are so bad ass girl!! Slay queen

[@KS-jf2jf]

Love the heart decorations, so amazing! Here in Canada, Toronto, we have lots of free activities like rollerblading at the Union Station, churches have Carol's, lots of Christmas markets and experiences as Christmas gifts ❤

[@cinqxtrois]

OMG that room is majestic!! 🤭

I was in Strasbourg in Nov. of 2001 and loved it. It was one of few European cities, where I felt like I could live there.

[@kumaosobear1528]

Hi!! I just found you and I love your channel. We try to be as eco-friendly as possible within the limits of what our society allows us to be. We recycle, reuse, bring our own shopping bags and boxes. We collect waste that other people leave behind wherever they are. We create objects using single-use materials, or transform clothing items and create new dishes with leftover food. Hugs.

[@Sarah.tomasello]

I love the heart ornaments you made!

[@Anna-te5qc]

ornaments are cute, great as gift 🙂

[@britneygriffin6704]

I absolutely love those hearts! There are so cute❤

[@viivi4196]

I'm not a christmas person, but I love spending time with my family during the holidays. my parents get out the same holiday decor every year and I cook plant-based food for us :) they have some non-vegan stuff but we share many plant-based dishes and I think that's lovely!

[@tanyahouston5635]

It looks like you did a whip stitch on the hearts, not a blanket stitch. They are cute and double duty for Valentine’s day hanging over a cabinet knob. I’m happy to see you sewing. Many people won’t and use discard things that could be easily fixed with some stitching! I love to mend. It’s fun to figure out how and then to decide if you want to make the repair totally obvious or test your skills and do an invisible mend. 🪡🧵✌🏻 I have a spiral metal frame tree with glass ornaments. It’s about 30 years old!

[@varinafulcher5898]

I am a knitter, not a sewer, but I could easily make those hearts, thanks for demonstrating.x

[@reganstandlick7520]

love the wooden tree

[@casieperry9047]

Thanks for the idea of making a Christmas ornament to gift!

[@Mimulus2717]

Our Christmas tradition is not to get a conifer Christmas tree, bu rhater to buy a fruit tree. I live in Northern Coastal California and in december you can still buy fruit trees (mostly citrus). So we get one of those and decorate it. After the holidays we plant outside. Luckily we have a good sized yard. I have over a dozen trees now of all sorts (pineapple guave, grapefruit, kumquat, lime, lemon, etc. That vegan food looked incredible! Are there recipes anywhere? I've made pickled aubergine before (it was only okay) but turning it into curried "herring" sounds better.

[@aleksandran3978]

This year I've started making crochet and knitted ornaments. Better this than buying plastic trinkets I guess...

[@Klara_is_finding_herself]

It's such a lovely video ❄️🎄🤍 Happy holidays ✨️

[@hellojuuh846]

In my house the christmas tree was always a pine branch, no need to kill a young tree and its really cute have a small natural decoration instead of a tipically perfect (plastic) tree.

[@arthurlincoln9093]

My Christmas will be no waste this year. I'm not doing it but I will recycle my wine bottles as usual.

[@micivalantincic8227]

We celebrate with close friends, we cook together and gifts are something you wish for - like a bar of soap or socks. Something small but usefull. If someone sais no gifts we respect that. I make my own cards with watercolor and save all brown paper I can and stamp it with a wooden stamp to make wrapping paper. We dont have a tree, we are looking into getting a wooden one. But I'd prefer to make it my self. Other than that I just wish for the New year night to pass quickly because or dog is terrifeid of fire works.

Hvordan transportere du dig selv når du rejser? Jeg tænker på dit zero waste filosofi, og derfor er jeg nysgerrig 🤗

[@aliaab123]

Your video title has a misspelling.

[@bethwatkins6163]

I've spent my entire professional life working in museums and I thank you for recommending us as good low-impact activities and presents! 🥰Not-fun fact: that meteorite is part of a very sad history of colonialism in Greenland by Denmark, the US, and others. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cape_York_meteorite
