I do like when you share brands that you've purchased because we know a lot of time, effort, and research has gone into it and that someone was paid a livable wage producing a product they are proud of. I'm not against DIYs or anything, but I hope you'll also continue to share these types of things too 🙂
Surfers Against Sewage do a really cute tote bag and wash bag made from recycled bouncy castles! I assume the fabric is similar to tarpaulins? I love how people are starting to make things we need from things that are potentially pollution. It gives me a glimmer of hope for our beautiful planet 🌏
It's true they have one idential almost to hers www.wyattandjack.com/ but not velcro and loads of colourful bags and washbags of all sorts! thanks!
I'm graduating high school this June. For school I've been using a square scarf and doing a furoshiki wrap to hold my lunch in. I use reusable containers for my food along with a cloth napkin and a fork from home. I tie the scarf and put the cloth napkin and the bottom of the "bag" to have a more stable bottom then pile the containers on top. My water bottle stays on the side. I had a scarf that I didn't want to wear and then thought to use it to hold my lunch which I love doing now. The cloth napkins are something my mom already had and I asked her if she had any so I can use them for school. I love it, when I'm at school the cloth napkins make me feel so cool, but it does grab people's attention and gets us started on a conversation about zero waste. The napkins are a dark army green colour and on them the year they were made in is printed on it. They're from the 80's, so glad I asked my mom because I was going to go buy new ones which turn out to be quite expensive, at least in Canada.
That is so cool and bloody awesome!
there is a similar brand in switzerland! it’s called FREITAG (=friday) they basically do the same thing but as the company is a lot bigger they have tons of different styles and sizes to choose from. they are very well made. i have mine for over 10 years now and it’s still amazing!
At school here in Germany we use metal fountain pens that you refill with the little ink cartridges. Which means when the ink runs we don't throw out the pen and buy a new one, we just put in a new cartridge. So much cheaper too as 100 ink cartridges are like €3! But it is still plastic though. But one cartridge lasts more than a month so i guess thats only 12 little pieces a year which is better than like 20 pens!
There exitst fountain pens without cartridge :)
"So really just different stuff...hmmm..." haha this made me laugh out loud
I do love that bag!! But i don't need it....but i want it....urgh, the struggle! Thank you for talking about re-purposing too - i think i fell into the typical trap of buying new containers, toothbrushes etc before i needed them because i wanted to be zero waste now but as a result...created more waste.... Real zero waste is often less beautiful looking than instagram or youtube haul type videos. Thank you for your videos - i love them and get very excited when i see my little notification pop up! x
Lianne hehehe I’m having the same struggle
I know this is almost nothing compared to all the zero waste people I watch, but I have started using a reusable water bottle! I would buy a water or two from the shop on my way to school everyday! Now I don’t! And that makes me feel a lil good on the inside
Every single step you take makes a huge difference !
I love that you are pushing people to use what they already have! Great video. :)
i love the message. Also, you look really, really beautiful here, your skin is glowing!
agreed!
That bag is pretty neat! My backpack was before I was zero waste, but luckily after being reminded to repair instead of buying new again i just re attached the strap so hopefully it still lasts me for a long time. I will keep that bag in mind though for other people in my life who might want something similar.
My yoga bag is from my local farmers market made from old sailing tarps! :)
that's awesome
I too cycle to work every day. I'm fortunate enough to live within 5 miles of work. I leave oatmeal, dry goods, crackers, organic syrup for my coffee (free at work😁). Sometimes whn I run out of food...I walk to the store & buy my greens (plastic free) to leave in my work fridge. Makes it easy instead of packing a lunch everyday. It's been a good convo starter to help ppl get healthy.
honestly loving your content more and more. your work is so thoughtful and i love how accessible you make the movement seem :)
Thank you thank you xx
In German anyway, Grün translates to Green (said like groon)so i guess like a green bag? Like for the environment?
I think you're perfectly right, because it's not a Danish word :D
Also I love the message that you spread because it's so motivational and inspiring.
I love your mindset! It's nice to always have a coffee cup "just in case," but it's way too tempting!
1) i’d love to see you do a series or something about taking a common item that kinda just gets stuck with no purpose eventually or gets worn out and a few ways that you can repurpose it!
2) no poo update?
I am actually currently working on a re purposing video and I will be sure to do a no poo update soon!
I've been looking for the perfect new, long lasting, waterproof backpack for a while now, and this seems to fit everything I want! Thank you for sharing this company, I will definitely get a Grünbag! :D
Haha don't you worry, I'm from Denmark and I'm not even sure how it's produced! We don't use the ü here, so I think they borrowed the name from another Scandinavian language :)
"Grün" is the German word for green :)
A Danish brand that uses Denglisch (German and English words mixed). That's new...
Me: Wow, that bag is so cool. It would be great for college!!! I NEED it. * looks up price * Okay, Ill stick with my thrift store back pack and keep sewing up the holes, I guess.
But, seriously, I understand why it is so much money, it is just out of my price range (by quite a bit). Maybe in the future, though.
This was so helpful! Also, I don't know whatcha did with your hair but it looks more gorgeous than normal! And your skin is glowing as well
That backpack looks amazing, been looking for a water-resistant ethically made environmentally friendly backpack for biking for ages so this seems perfect! :D
thanks for sharing the brand.
May I ask what size of backpack you got? is it the normal one or the large one? :)
I think its just the normal one :)
I love the bag! Also, your hair looks so good! I've been struggling with "zero waste hair" because all the bar shampoo's and soaps make me have very aggressive dandruff, could you do a video on how you have your hair so amazing and solutions for hair in general?
Yes definitely ! I have changed up my hair routine a million times as I am still figuring out what works best for me so it may be a little longer until I make a video but it will definitely come soon!!
This may help you..or not. But I dilute liquid Castile soap in a jug of water and pour over hair...rub scalp, pull through to ends and rinse. 👍
i love how deep your voice is 😍 so many women hide their kinda deep voices and it’s so nice hearing you
That notebook! 😍 I've only seen leather covers, never thought there would be a vegan equivalent. Does it have a specific brand?
Thank you again for you beautiful videos.
I use the one by Tree Tribe
Thank you for sharing. I love what's in my bag videos. Best wishes on your no spend challenge. I hope it continues to go well.
Love your videos! Noticed that you said you didn't drink much water so I thought I'd leave you some zero waste motivation to drink more! During my zero waste journey I realised that I use ALOT of moisturiser and go through bottles quick, and I had been assuming I just had dry skin. I've now started drinking 4L+ of tap water every day. I now don't need moisturiser and my skin is so good and eyes are so bright that I've managed to stop wearing makeup as well. TWO BIRDS WITH ONE EASY STONE! and very good for a no spend as well I'm sure.
It honestly is laziness... but I will definitely try and drink a lot more. I have found that I don't need moisturiser either anymore but probably because I eat such high water content food? and don't use any products on my face!
I reallyyy enjoy all your videos, but especially the DIY ones, can't wait for the cotton bag vid!
You're always inspiring me, u definitely feel like that bag would be great for me as I also cycle to work and always bring my lunch and snacks! #KeepOnKeepingOn
That's such a good book! Always find your videos really inspiring, keep up the good work
I love all your videos, but this is the first where I feel like we are starting to see the real you. A Corky side and goofy and you just seem more comfortable in this video. I love it! ❤️
The bag looks super functional. I personally prefer items that don't have such obvious logos though. It makes me feel like a walking advertisement.
Great tips, hadn't thought of a no spend challenge, good idea. For deodorant I just use baking soda with a couple of drops of perfume oil in it, just rub it on dry or damp under my arms, it works fine. I take a flannel with me and just wash under my arms on really hot days. This seems to work fine. Nice bag :-)
Your hair looks incredible!! Please do a no poo update
coconut oil, baking soda and salt ist the best deodorant I've ever tried🤗
Thank youuuu i'll try it !
why the salt? :)
Karoline bcd that's a good question😆 I don't really know how the salt acts in the deodorant, but it does work!:) The recipe is by Pia Kraftfutter 🤗
oh i know her,i will check out her video :D
Karoline bcd cool😆🙋
Love the leaf leather notebook.
Green Guru makes bags out of recycled materials and has a large sustainability effort. They are located in my home town of Boulder Colorado, and I see places to drop off materials for them to use. Awesome for USA people to save the shipping cost and fuel ♡
ive been searching for a new bag and this is the one i want! thank you for telling us about this!!!
Can't wait for the DIY video! It all seems very overwhelming and any guidance is appreciated : )
My bf and I are currently living with my parents in a transition to our own place but once I get there I plan on learning how to sew in order to make my own bras and underwear and such. To be honest, on top of having to create demand for a new product, the items are expensive and often not exactly what I really want anyway. Much better to teach myself how to make my own :)
She is the beauty! Such a natural attraction in her.
That's so rare nowadays
Making your own bras - very intriguing 🤔
If you're happy to take some suggestions diy is definitely something I'd love to see, like making your own soap and toiletries, as well as produce baggies.
Heya here’s a heads up if you’re gonna make your own deo :) when you get half a lime and squeeze it out for whatever you use it for, flip the squeezed half inside out, rub aaaaall over your armpits and then follow with a bit of coconut oil (not too much but just to sort of seal it in) - it works SO well for me!! If you don’t use coco oil then just try the lime peel it’s quite deodorising by itself :) doesn’t work for everyone but I find if you’re already using a natural deo for a long while it’s much more likely to work as you don’t have all the rubbish from regular deodorant to detox :)
Amazing I will give it a go :)
have you tried the potato as suggested by fairyland cottage
No but I am super intrigued by it - I may do a Zero waste hacks video where I try out all the funny things zero wasters suggest what do you think?
Sustainably Vegan stoked - wicked idea!!!
Cool bag. I think this would be an excellent gift for my best friend. It's exactly what she needs for traveling.
I actually read the book by naomi klein at the moment. But i feel very depressed and after a few minutes i'm so mad and feeling tense that i have to stop reading... so i'm really impressed that you are reading it again! 😳
What a great vlog. I am definately going to invest in one of the backpacks. Great to see you back. Much love x
There is a shop in the Brighton lanes which has these really good cycle bags that attach to the side whah are recycled and repurposed. I have never been in as I don't have a bike but that is what I can tell from the outside.
Your hair looks lovely in this video!
As always such a lovely, enjoyable and inspirational video! ❤❤❤
you're my favorite youtuber. i'm not as advanced in zw lifestyle as you are but I'm trying. i still have things that i don't want to quit because even though they're not 100% zw, they give me happiness but I'm doing the best i can to be zw in other parts of life. what I'm struggling with i think rn is planning meal stuff etc. this is rn the thing i should change because sometimes i don't have much in my kitchen and I'm starving and i have to eat out :/ i hope one day you will come to warsaw since we have some zw options here and i'd love to meet you. also, i linked in another comment polish brand that makes same kind of bags, they're cheaper and maybe for some people they would be more affordable.
We use exactly these stainless steel boxes to pack our lunches in India. Great seeing you use it😀
yayyy! Im so grateful to be able to watch your channel and not be alone on this journey
I love her! My source of inspiration!
I want a Grunbag now! But... I also want to do no spend. :S Can you do more videos about your no spending year? Like how you budget for food, what allowances you've given yourself (if any) and what you do for fun that is free? I often feel the pull to go to the mall or buy a coffee When I'm bored. I'd love to hear how you deal with that.
I recommend trying LUSH bar deodorant. It may be a little harder to carry but completely zero waste. I use the waxy one and I think that works the best.
Could you make a video about how to have fun on the no-spend challenge? My husband and I are trying to save money, but we find that except for taking walks or hikes outside and tending our garden, there's not much to do on the weekend outside the house. We used to go to restaurants, the cinema, shopping, travel, etc.
Would you post some simple low cost vegan recipes? Thnx so much ❤️
Sure!
Can you make a video about your cycling to work please
Yes!
Thank you💛
Thanks for making this! Really helpful :)
MUCH love for you and your content.
Hello! Love your eye makeup in the video. Very pretty
Absolutely love this!! I am curious how much money you will save by the end of the year... Do you think there is a way to calculate what you would have potentially spent otherwise?
I use Lush's solid deodorant Aromaco since years. They just wrap it in paper and put a sticky label on (which isn't great now that I think of it) but apart from that, I think it's a good product. What do you think?
You should look up Katharine Hayhoe. She runs the Climate Science Center at Texas Tech University, and one of her specialties is communication about global climate change. She also has a YT channel called Global Weirding. She is awesome!
Hi! Did you already say how you get your hands on food without spending? Or is that not included in the challenge? Are you still getting your oddbox?
Hey - I see food as an essential so I do buy food but only once a week. So I get my Oddbox every week because I am both helping to tackle food waste by choosing them and also supporting a social enterprise as well that is trying to do good. So even though i'm buying food I am trying to do it in the best way possible!
Loved this video! Do you think you can make a video talking about zero waste school supplies or at least some that are more sustainable. Sorry for asking if you already made one. :)
Sure! Sounds like a good idea :)
Interested as well in office/school supplies. :)
Hi I love your videos, I totally get not saying your brands of your food containers, but you could you maybe give an idea of the size of them in terms of capacity. Thank you!
I love that backpack! It’s so cool! And I loved the video you’re such an inspiration to me!
Also I have a question and it is wether you shower at work after cycling or not, not that I’m calling you dirty or anything!! but because here in Spain I don’t think it’s common at all to have showers at your workplace but it would be a very great idea!
Last thing, I’m really looking forward to watching your diy tutorials.
Lots of love
Hey thanks for your comment :) I don't have a shower at work but its very cold here and I change clothes when I get to work, plus my route is super flat so it doesn't take my energy.
However, when it gets to summer this may not be a great solution hahah
I just bought a crop top style bra...in the maternity section...and I love it. I would love to be able to hand make a replica out of old jersey shirts 👍
I . REALLY NEED TO GET THOSE KIND OF CONTAINERS BUT I JUST CANT FIND I AND MOST THE TIVE THERE PLACTIC AND I REALLY NEED IT FOT SCHOOL AND LUNCH!
I have 3 (not very minimalist lol) Fjallraven. I don't use a purse too. I love backpacks, much more easy. I think that Fjallraven is sustainable brand
Where do you buy your paper refills for the writing book? I am looking for something similar for a yearly planner and I can't find a fully compostable yearly planner so this seemed like a good option.
You are so beautiful it's baffling 😍
6:22 Is that like faux leather made out of leaves? Where can we get it? And do they do other faux leather stuff?
Hii! I love your animations on instagram - could you do a video about your job and show more of your work please? I'm going to study animation at uni next year and I'm really interested in zero-waste/veganism so I'd love to see what you're up to :)
xx
I don’t mean to be rude, I’m just curious. You said that the bag was from a small company in Denmark, which must mean you ordered it online and it had to be delivered to you by airplane or boat. I’m sure I don’t need to tell you that neither one of those means of transportation are particularly sustainable. Do you see that as a small price to pay for a bag that you would otherwise not have been able to get, or did you just not consider it when placing your order? I got a little confused since you’re usually so adamant about shopping locally and not putting any unnecessary strain on the environment. I really liked this video though, please keep up the good work! :)
Hey, thanks for comment - don't worry all questions are welcome here and I would never assume you're being rude - just curious! I suppose I think about it as a hierarchy of values - so anytime I bring something new into my life I have to consider several things: has it been made sustainably? Is it taking things that are already in circulation and putting them back into the same economy but with a new life? How ethical is the company? Are they committed to fairtrade practices? Are they cruelty free? Are they designing their products with Zero Waste in mind / or are they zero waste BY design. I will always always shop locally if I can - but sometimes you have to assess what comes above on your hierarchy and ethical / fairtrade and giving materials already in circulation a new life come first for me. The best situation would obviously be to do without - but ordering something that will be shipped with 1000's of other items that will help you make a more sustainable choice in the long run is definitely a trade off I would make and would understand if other people wanted to do the same. Whether I am right or not is still something I am learning and yet to be determined but for now I am content that it was the best decision I could make in that particular situation. Does that clear things up a little? xx
Sustainably Vegan absolutely! thank you so much for replying :)
Thanks for asking the question !
Hi Immy! Is this the black or the grey color? I'm having such a hard time choosing my color! :(
Hi, Thank you for this video! My Eastpack backpack is about to give up the ghost after 10 years of good and faithful service (the 2 zips are almost broken). I also cycle to work and live in a very rainy part of France, so I was quite desperate to find a replacment for my bag. I really like the design of the Grünbags. Do you know if you got the normal version of the backpack or if it is the large version you have? It could help me choosing the right size (I need to put all my cycling stuff in) =)
I think I have the normal version :)
Zips can be replaced if your backpack is still in good condition....😝
Modestly Vegan Indeed, they do repare the zips :) but it is not covered by the warranty after the third year. The big zip costs 12€ + 9€ for the small one + 6€ for the shipping cost (when they ship it back to you) and the shipping cost to send it to them is entirely at your charge. With La Poste in France I expect something about 15€. 42€ in total at least. It is the price I paid for the bag when I got it, so I'm not sure I want to give them anymore money. I'll think about it a bit longer but i think it is not fair for someone who used it normaly like me.
The BEST deodorant I have ever used is baking soda! I just shower, wet my finger and take some baking soda. or you can also mix it with some coconut oil
Is it comfortable? Because my backpack is always very very heavy.
I am also doing the no spend challenge.What do you think about purchasing secondhand books? Is that truly no spend? Just wondering because I bought some haha
Love you new bag
I want to watch room tour!
I’d like to get some metal containers for lunch but I’ve always wondered this: how do you reheat a meal if you want it hot? (Since metal can’t go in the microwave)
I just put it in a bowl at work and put it in the microwave
Hey! I was just wondering if anyone has tips on folders for things like music...I’m currently reusing a clear file but I still really dislike all of the plastic on it. Any ideas?
Your containers are great - I'm looking to get some too. My only issue is that I like to heat up my food when I'm at work and you can't put stainless steel in the microwave :/ I suppose the only alternative to do both would be glass container? Any suggestions or thoughts on this? Really liking your videos. I'm doing a No Spend and Zero Waste challenge too although I'm budgeting for certain spends (a small amount to eat out and for coffees etc) so that I don't become overwhelmed and end up hating it!
I mostly eat my food cold but if I want to heat it up we have bowl at work in our kitchen so I just transfer it into there
What is the brand of your leaf leather booklet?
Should I stop using my plastic containers for food? I'm torn whether to keep using them or buy new containers that aren't plastic.
Its completely up to you - I still use them for food that I freeze and dried food or even re purpose them for wires etc! I just don't use it for warm or hot food anymore!
"Don't want to be a smelly belly" 😂😂😂
Can you do a vid on shoes. I really struggle to find shoes of any kind 😔😁
This is great!
What do you mean by you use pencils now instead of technology because as a professional story boarder//illustrator surely you cannot usually present a pencil drawing as the finished piece of work haha. Also please let us know where you got that leaf notebook!
can't find those snack tins anywhere. been looking for several months...
Check out Elephant Box and A Slice of green if you live in the UK
Hello. I want to ask you, have you ever tried alum stone? I like it)
I haven't should i?
Yes I enjoyed this video! c:
How are you no spend year going this far?
Update coming at you next week
I enjoyed this video. May I ask why dont you have your Keep Cup in there anymore?
Thanks for watching! I don't have it at the moment because I am doing a no spend challenge and if I had it in there I would be tempted to go buy cofffee out rather than making it at home or work myself!
Ah thats right. I mixed up the Keep Cup with the Diva Cup. Silly me! Good job! You inspired me today to just wrap my sourdough bun in my cotton handkerchief instead of one of those paper bags. Thank you!
How far do you live from work?
Can you heat food up in those stainless steel containers or do you only eat cold meals out of them? 🤔
I mostly eat cold food but when I want to heat it up I simply put it in a bowl and put it in the microwave
Always helps if you can leave a bowl or plate at work 👍
