    I love that it's a real house tour with some less aesthetic and cluttered parts. We all have those! That's what I like about your channel, you really make sustainability cheap easy and fun (and real). also it was nice to see unnatural vegan in the screen :)

      YES!! That is a big part of my channel is being real and not curating my life on RUclips to meet the aesthetics. I want to show that anyone can live low waste without the cuteness haha. Thank you! Also I LOVE UV!!

    Thank you for this video and the other moving related videos to come. My husband and I currently live in Hawaii but in 2 years we will be moving to back to the mainland (contiguous united states). This will be my second major move in my life so it's a bit overwhelming to think about.
    Also don't stress about the mess since we live in a studio apartment, we are so much messier than you and Dan.

    This got me thinking that every piece of furniture I have is second hand. Sub a table that my mom built for me ^__^ also I love that you're promoting dumpster diving in this video. You don't see many people doing that anymore. I dumpster dive for food constantly and I cant even explain how much money its saved me. Though it really makes you realise how much the grocers throw out 😬

    Yay the home tour, finally!! :D
    I love all the creative ways you repurpose things, that is so inspiring!! And all the things you found on the curb are so nice! you must have been so excited to find furniture to furnish a whole room, that's awesome!
    You have a beautiful home Emma :) Would love a home tour in Vegas too!
    I have a question regarding shopping second-hand: how do you buy large furniture second-hand when your car is small? I'm struggling with this issue as I'll be moving in a few months and I don't know how I'll be able to find a used couch or used bedframe (even though that's my preferred option) and transport it in my tiny car... :/

    • @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist
      @TheSimpleEnvironmentalist  3 года назад +1

      It certainly has been a long time coming haha! Thank you! I will probbaly do an empty and furnished home tour a few months apart :) that is SUCH a good question! I usually find a friend or neighbor who has a van or truck I could borrow. OR there is a guy in our area who his only job is to help people move with his box truck. OR we rent a truck from a rental agency! Hope these help!

    I love thrifting we have so many here in our city I would say 80% of everything in our home is from thrift stores or yard sales. And yes my 4 dogs are all second hand lol.. animal rescue. My containers for my container garden all but 2 of the 21 I have were given to me or I found at the curb when a neighbor threw them away. Anna In Ohio.

    I’m interested in getting into a more eco-friendly life-style but a lot of my least sustainable habits have to do with my health. I’m a type 1 diabetic and I’m constantly going through Rx containers, needles, lancets, test strips, bandaids, and more. Additionally, I always have to have snacks on me like gummies in case my sugar crashes and those tend to be individually wrapped. Do you know of any resources for eco-friendly diabetics? It’s definitely my biggest source of waste.

      do what you can! Don't stress things you can't change. I have to take lots of meds for migraines. Change what you can instead like brining your own water bottle and bags to the grocery and restaurants :)
