    • @LazyOily
      @LazyOily 6 лет назад +33

      Actually, there is a very good reason why vegetables (bell peppers and cucumbers) are packaged to plastic. That wrapping makes the vegetables last much longer, weeks in fact. Without it they wilt faster and people are less likely to buy/eat them. That turns the vegetables themselves into trash, which is very bad because growing them has taken a lot of water, nutrients and energy.
      It is in fact better for the environment to wrap them in plastic and then burn the plastic turning it into energy, than to increase the already-gigantic amount of food waste by letting the vegetables wilt. There was a calculation about this somewhere, but I can't remember where. (So you shouldn't protest wrappers, but landfills. Your problem is with inadequate waste management.)
      This is something that people don't normally realize. Fresh, unpackaged items are fine if you buy them immediately after they were picked and eat them quickly. But often vegetables can be quite old when you buy them because
      - they are brought from a long distance away
      - they only deliver them every other day or twice a week or once a week
      - shopkeeper bought too many of them, and people aren't buying them quick enough
      A cucumber can last weeks in wrapping and still look pristine, so you won't even know it's "old" when you buy it. I actually used to work in a greenhouse, picking and packing cucumbers, and I got to take them home for free. Usually the ones I got weren't wrapped, and they turned soft and wrinkly really fast. The farmer told me I shouldn't keep them in the fridge, but that didn't help. They wilted both in room temperature and in the fridge. The wrapped ones kept for up to 3 weeks, which gave me enough time to make use of them, cause I don't really like cucumber that much. :D
      But yeah, I agree there is no excuse for packaging bananas or oranges etc. What I said only applies to vegetables with thin skins.

    I asked my grandma how they used to go grocery shopping when there was no plastic.
    She explained to me that they went into the shop and then the salesman used to fill their glass jars or other containers with the food they wanted.
    They bought vegetables directly from farmers.
    I also asked about processed food and she told me that back then nothing like this existed. Her grandma and mother used to cook everything, they made their own marmelade and sweets.
    I love my grandma dearly and she is such a great inspiration for me to go zero waste

      @zabelconnor 7 лет назад +20

      imakefoodhappen Some people invest in composting toilets which are apparently ordourless. Some people do it the Asian way by installing a bidet or simply using a watering can to clean themselves which some argue is more cleanly. Alternatively for wiping after urination you can use reusable cloths which you wash clean.
      If you want paper, find a brand which is compostable/recycled/eco and collect the paper in a bin instead of putting it down the toilet and then compost it - they seem to not throw paper down toilets in Europe alot of the time. After our sewage waste is treated, what is left behind is a sludge which goes to landfills and this uses a lot of resources, so less paper by everyone is ideal.

      I always do that. Any scraps that are fruit or veggie go in a Ziploc bag in the freezer. I keep another bag for bones, fat, etc from animals inn the freezer. When they're full I make stock out of them. You can also do bones coveted in water in your crock pot for at least 24 hours and get every bit of good out of the bones that way.

Cut down on factory farming and slaughterhouse methods, advocate for free-range foods and meat made by animals allowed to frolic in large fields and eat organically. Besides, lots of people need meat. It's an easy way of getting lots of nutrients, and is a staple choice for muscle building.

    I'm very interested in trying this. This is a life style and living in a city, with a full time job(one that is very wasteful at that to add to it!) I imagine this is very difficult. I wanna make grocery shopping as quick as possible and cooking time as minimal as possible, so I don't feel like I have to give up my time for socializing and hobbies and napping. My ultimate dream is to have a little house with some open land so I can grow all my food and medicinal plants, hopefully that happens before my life is over.

    • @Offensive_Username
      @Offensive_Username 7 лет назад +2

      You can't be vegan and an environmentalist. If you're truly vegan, you won't use leather bags and shoes. The substitute for that, especially winter boots, will be synthetic fabric. Which means plastic, which means petroleum. That's not eco-friendly and not zero waste. Animals choke on plastic, especially ones that live in or near a sea. Therefore, vegans also kill animals.

    • @wowgrab7553
      @wowgrab7553 7 лет назад +4

      I do understand where you're coming from, though there are some more eco-friendly options. Cotton comes from a plant and is often used in clothing. There's also a lot of other fibers that can be made from a variety of sources that are safe for our planet. Also, not everybody is perfect. We may not always be able to completely minimize our negative impact on this planet, but we can get it down very, very low, and make up for any damage we do by having a positive impact. Going zero waste keeps an average of four pounds of trash out of the landfills every day, which is WAY better that the average American. Going vegan saves countless animal lives and reduces air pollution; so does replacing gasoline powered vehicles. Maybe we will end up harming some animals, but not in a way that is detrimental to their species.

    • @xoblackxparadexo
      @xoblackxparadexo 7 лет назад +20

      Paper plates and cups aren't recyclable because they've been contaminated with food. Unless you compost at home, they go to a landfill, where the process of biodegrading is significantly slower.
      Unsustainable forests destroy ecosystems, so unless it's advertised as being sourced from sustainable forests, consumers are contributing to that.
      Personally, one of the most important concerns is that the majority of paper products are bleached, often with chlorine, which is one of the most hazardous industrial chemicals - and we eat off of it, put it into the environment and wipe our butts with it!

    Wow... I am from Germany and I've been in America for a few weeks.. I think that the trash is a big problem because in Germany it is normal to have two trash cans in each household sometimes even three for compost, recycling and other stuff.. also we have extra bins for old glass and paper. This all happened because we have one green party that was really strong in the past. It makes me sad that there is no such strong party in the USA (I know there is one green party but it has nearly no influence). Also healthy stuff like fruits and vegetables are sooo expensive in America and so people buy more junk food like burgers which have like three packages.. When someone goes grocery shopping in America, nearly every article gets packed in an individual plastic bag and at home I guess they will be thrown away.. Once I was eating at a McDonalds and the guy gave me a plastic bag. I said that I didn't need it and gave it back to him, hoping that he would give it to someone else who needs it later. He threw it in the trash. America needs to change this problem and their opinion and I guess that Donald Trump will make that even worse.. If we don't change that the world will get even worse..😔

    supermarkets should consider making more foods purchasable without packaging like the quinoa, or have reusable bags for rice and stuff. I think if a couple small changes were made we could greatly reduce the amount of waste we produce, like just selling cereal in bags, instead of in a bag within a box, the box is completely unnecessary.

  • @MsHojat
    @MsHojat 6 лет назад +7

    I think it makes sense for"zero waste" to mean *"no garbage".* If it's recycled then that should be okay. If it's composted, that's also good (although the latter part was mentioned in the video, but not the recycling).
    That said, I think the more reasonable and *"sustainable"* option is something like "cut non-recycleable waste by 80-90%", since very few people are going to stick to their whole life with this "zero waste" stuff.

    • @melanieaudet
      @melanieaudet 7 лет назад

      You can afford it if you shop in the correct places :) If you MUST buy food in packaging, buy it in cardboard (like pasta) rather than plastic. Buy all your rice, beans and flours etc in bulk food stores. Bring your own containers to grocery stores and ask butchers to put the meat in there (if you eat meat). If you don't, well good! Find out what your city can recycle... Buy stuff in glass which is 100% recyclable. It's not expensive but it is a commitment. You cannot just leave for your favorite store and expect it to be a zero waste trip. You really need to find the bulk stores or stores that are zero waste where you bring your own containers to fill (ie: liquid soap, oils, etc)

      I know a person who did that, and it's not a good idea after all. It is a real hassle, even if you live in a liberal city with suitable stores. And for the less trash you're producing (which isn't really that harmful if you live i.e. in Western Europe with good recycling quotas), you are wasting vastly more ressources to consume a diverse diet of fresh foods, which usually don't grow locally - ever wondered why the stuff is more expensive?

  • @Maracujakeks
    @Maracujakeks 8 лет назад +6

    I think it's a good start that most supermarkets don't give their plastic bags away for free anymore, for me that really works and I usually bring my own bag now. But to be honest, being a German living in the UK at the moment I have to say that Germany is quite progressive when it comes to trash. Here in the UK so much stuff in unnecessarily wrapped in platic (it's true though, it makes it seem as if it hasn't been touched so a lot of people unconsciously go for it).. and so many people just throw ALL their trash in one bin (in Germany we have seperate bins for paper, glass, recycling and food trash.. I know there's also recycling & ordinary trash cans here but it's not a regulation on a national level, just local wise)... It's also up to the government to give stricter regulations and making people aware how and what to consume, because as long as it's available like that in the supermarket most people just don't bother thinking about it.

    Best Buzzfeed video ever. "Soap is just soap!"
    Prefect contradiction to all those videos of people eating processed foods, trying fad makeup techniques and generally doing things that do no good in the world, and actually perpetuate ideologies that cause more pollution and unhealthy eating habits.
    I think the worst thing I ever heard on a buzzfeed video was "I haven't used soap in bar form for years!" That poor brainwashed girl who actually thinks soap in plastic bottles with high levels of perfume are somehow going to make her life better, when all they do is cause pollution.
    Good job guys, it's nice to see you trying to do something vaguely positive for the environment for once.
