Zero Waste - What's In My Handbag - Fairyland Cottage

[@sirichendanapulasan5117]

In Indian culture we eat fennel seeds after meals as it is a digestive and has many health benefits and refreshes the breath

This video made me realize how brainwashed I am. Never thought about just using pencils instead of plastic pens. The more I try to live zero waste and with the help from videos like yours I realized how easy zero waste actually is. Thank you! please keep your amazing videos coming. They are very much appreciated.

[@FairylandCottage]

Marie Mai ah thanks for the support. Yes pencils are so simple. Reducing waste really is easier than people think. It's really about simplifying life and being ok with what we already have! X

[@jewels.72]

A thoughtfully packed handbag. Thank you for the video 🌷🌿. My handbag is smaller. I always carry a tissue pouch and wallet I made. A handmade pouch I bought for my mobile. My sunglasses and reading glasses. I need to replace my pen with a pencil. I like the feel of writing with a pencil and holding the wooden outer layer. Tiny things I have - a notebook, hand cream, hand sanitizer, headache tablets in case a family member needs it and a cotton mesh shopping bag. When we go out for a few hours I take drink bottles and a snack in handmade snack pouches I made

[@AP-pk9gw]

What about a metalic mechanical pencil -> no plastic and metal is always posible to melt and reuse, plus don't kill a tree and you can refill the grafite.

[@brendagilbert4304]

@@AP-pk9gw yes. I use one too and have wondered about sustainability. But I have it already so there seems no point in getting rid of it - until I lose it, which, in my case, will almost certainly happen eventually!

So happy I've finally found an Irish zero waste KZbinr! I've been trying to get into being a bit more zero waste this year so it's fab to have a fellow Irish person to get tips from. Love the channel, can't wait to watch more videos. Xx

[@FairylandCottage]

Kym Olivia ah sure hello! Lovely to have a fellow Irish person watching. How are you getting on with eliminating waste? It's an ongoing process and no way to be completely free of it but every little bit counts. X

[@KymOlivia]

Yeah, I'm doing okay, I've been using a metal water bottle, keep cup and bamboo toothbrush & I was thinking of starting to use a safety razor instead of the normal ones. I still have way to much plastic stuff around but I'm getting there slowly.

[@RymVri108]

I have fennel seeds and forgot about using them for mints! I'll keep some in my bag now. I got a set of bamboo camping utensils that have a little pouch to keep them in so they stay together. And for women, get some cloth pads or pantyliners instead of the disposable ones. I keep a clean menstrual cup in my purse as well. Going zero-waste periods is one of the easiest and most effective ways to reduce so much unnecessary waste!

[@simantinijoshi9997]

I can't believe I am watching this video so late. You are so good and cheerful. I have been trying to reduce waste since long. I carry small stainless steel boxes for food stuff. It is lighter than glass and unbreakable. Another rule I follow is not buying new stuff before the older 1 is broken beyond repair. This applies to phone, pens, pencils, bags and all the knick knacks.

There are things I carry with me to reduce my waste, but a lot of the things are not super accessible to me. I'm a wheelchair user who cannot carry much on their body, and additionally, my chair is not in the greatest shape and will tip over if I hang things on the back, so I have to be very choosy about which items I bring with me when I leave the house, especially independently (which is very rare right now, but I'm hoping to build the independence to take a few classes locally soon). Carrying folded bags in my pouch is pretty accessible, but by the time I bring my assistive technology (such as the tablet that assists me to communicate verbally) and medical equipment, there's definitely no room weight-wise on my person for much else.

I have a toddler so my bag contents count a bit higher than yours but I just wanted to give a suggestion to any mommy out there trying to live a bit more minimalist. Going out to eat? Most places offer a coloring page with a few crayons to keep the little ones entertained. And guess what happens when you leave, crayons meet trashcan. Keep the crayons! Throw them in a little pouch with a small notepad and you’re ready at the drop of the dime for free entertainment. Crayons getting too short or broken in a bunch of pieces? Melt them all down together and make a multicolor, fun-shaped, brand new crayon :) Cheers to you and your channel. I absolutely love it!

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

I need my prescription glassesat all times, and carry slip-over sunglasses... fabric pouch _sounds_ nice, but one wants a good and sturdy case to protect those glasses from getting crushed or smashed when not in use and being carried around. Trust me, I know... :-/

[@emmyboucher7349]

Great ideas! The one thing I would suggest, as much as you kindly like supporting your local artists, is to use a RFID blocking wallet to protect your self from electronic pick pocketing, called RFID skimming. Some credit cards, passports, and driver's licenses now come with embedded radio frequency identification chips and your info can be stolen right through your purse. These wallets can be ordered on Amazon and other places.

[@Marginallist]

I truly enjoy all your videos and i learned alot from you along the way. But in general i found all of “What’s in my zero waste handbag” quite impractical in my life. I walk at least 8kms a day and carrying a water bottle, a coffee cup and all sort of things in my handbag is just totally unsuitable. Carrying on this much of stuff everyday would definitely destroy my back in a long term. I would love to know your tips on having a zerowaste handbag for ppl like me. :) 🙏🏻 thanks

[@FairylandCottage]

It's great you get walking in everyday. My friend uses a backpack instead of a handbag. If a backpack is of good quality it will sit comfortably into your back and have support. I would also recommend a bamboo coffee cup because it is lighter than stainless steel etc. Same with the water bottle, the lightest material you can get. Scrap bring snacks in glass and use stainless steel instead or if you have some tub aware. I hope that helps somewhat.

[@CristyVW]

I love munching on fennel seeds! I use fennel and clove oil in my homemade toothpaste! So good! Though I never even thought to pack them to go!! (Duh!) Thanks for the good tip! I also love that you bring your servette with you! I am looking at getting a set for myself and my kiddos - (since we are the ones who are out and about the most!) I'm looking towards bamboo and some type of 'spork' type utensil so I dont have 4 forks and 4 spoons in my bag!! (With littler ones both are often needed!) Do you have any good tips for snacks on the go for kids that can last in a bag for maybe more than a day? We bring nuts, seeds, and dried fruit as well as granola or my homemade energy bites most of the time... oh and fruit- but often times I find myself reaching for/buying those convenient apple/fruit sauce packs because they are really easy, not hard to carry around and well... fruit. (Though definitely not zero/ low waste sadly. Any other ideas you may have?? Love your channel! PS- Love your bag!! I have 2 canvas bags - a bigger one and a smaller one- LOVE them!!

@@FairylandCottage I have a question... How do you know exactly what can be recycled? For example the plastic wrappers on microwavable popcorn packets? Or maybe I should ask how do you know the little stickers on individual fruits are non recyclable? I don't want to contaminate my recycling bin with items that cannot be recycled. My waste company has a very generic list of items that can be recycled and I guess what I'm really asking is how can I be as well-informed as you? It really sickens me to know that our environment is going to hell because of ignorance and greed.

[@FairylandCottage]

You are very conscientious. The problem is that really not much can be recycled. Some recycling centres will recycle specific items but it depends on the centre. If you have a generic recycling bin, itemising what can be recycled, you can presume with confidence that anything else cannot be recycled. Its a grim reality that recycling is not really great. Glass and tin cans are widely recycled but even hard plastic that has the triangle on the item still cannot always be recycled if it has other material on it etc. Take it that nearly everything is landfill unless you have a good recycling centre near you that can take odd items (ours takes plastic lids and polystyrene etc)

Another good reason to use pencil instead of pen in a diary is that when things change - and things always do change! - it's easy to erase and rewrite. I have found that this not only keeps the diary looking tidier but also encourages me in flexibility. If it's written in pencil it's not carved in stone so I'm more prepared for change and it doesn't disturb me as much as it used to do. The outer mirrors the inner. Thank you for all you teach us Niamh. You are creating s great deal of good in the world.
