![*SUPER RARE* THE PARADIGM IS BACK?!?!? Fortnite Item Shop [August 6th, 2024] (Fortnite Chapter 5)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ru6xSH1RaPw/mqdefault.jpg)
I’m so excited that you included bringing a reusable water bottle to the airport and filling up there. It makes me so sad to see people buying bottles of water because they think that is their only option.
Buying souvenirs second hand has been my top priority for the past couple trips I've taken. I've even been known to plan my day around going to the thrift. I've found shirts that are wayyyyy cooler than any I could have bought at the souvenir shop, AND it lets me scratch that thrifting itch I usually miss while away from home. Thank you for sharing these tips, tricks and hacks :)
Ä
Honestly, I'd love to go thrifting wherever I go, but where I am (the Netherlands), thrift stores are usually way outside of the city center and inaccessible by public transport. Makes me sad, I want to see all the 2nd hand treasures!
My favorite vacation souvenirs are always thrift finds. I got a shirt that says “ALASKA” from my trip to Florida😂 and also a sweatshirt with “retired and loving it” embroidered on it!! Both are much more memorable than a $5 neon graphic tee sold on the beach!!
Super cool idea!! Thanks for sharing 😍
I love it because I'm not typically one to buy clothes with city names on it. So I may just get something I really like and know I will wear often. Even though its doesn't say where it's from I always remember the trip when I wear those pieces
My standard travel souvenir is a post card! I'll get one or two for each location we visit and then write what we did on the back. Post cards are available everywhere I've been, it turns it into a fun little travel journal, takes up basically no space in my house, I have professional pictures of the major sights we saw, and the footprint of a post card is negligible in my book.
Same!
Same here. I have a wall where I hang a bunch of my postcards as garlands. They're a great souvenir.
I love postcards! I also collect them from everywhere I go 😀
What a great idea to write what you did on yhe back of a beautiful postcard. Thanks for sharing!
Same. And I send lots of postcards back home rather than lots of gifts
During a trip to California (Texas here ✋), we thrifted 2 bikes that went all the way to Yosemite and ended up in Santa Cruz after we donated them to a local bike repair shop. Fun times!
WOW that's so cool!
When I personally buy souvenirs, I'll generally look for a top or sweater that I just love. I used to buy ones with locations written on them, but I never wore them. So now I just look for something I genuinely love, and I just know that I purchased it on a trip
JetBlue also automatically offsets the carbon from all of their domestic flights! But I love these tips and totally agree with flying less.
frontier is a good airline as well
If anyone is thinking about visiting Washington DC in the future I have a few helpful tidbits:
1. Fly into DCA if you can, not Dulles. Our metro connects directly to that airport so you don’t have to get a Lyft :)
2. We have tons of delicious vegan spots, but my three favorites are Smoke & Barrel (BBQ), Bubbies (burgers and fried chick’n), and Busboys & Poets (brunch).
3. Aim for NW neighborhoods. Capitol Hill, while very touristy, is a bit of a food desert
Bonus: you can take Amtrak just about anywhere on the east coast from DC! Check out Baltimore, Philly, or NYC on your trip to make the most of your time :)
We have family in DC and just took the train from DC to Minnesota after visiting them. It was great if you have the time!
This is just my luck! I’m planning a trip there very soon. If you have any more tips, please let me know
@@rubycenteno1773 awesome! We have the largest bike sharing network in the US, so definitely try out capital bike share for getting around too
For hotels and such I look for nice mom and pop bed and breakfast places. Supporting small local places versus big uber hotels and getting 1 souvenir that is meaningful versus just crap is worth more than just taking pictures.
literally all i wanna do is travel, but i'm always nervous about harming the planet more. so this is the video i've needed for years!! thanks shelbi :)
we all have to give & take, right? I stopped travelling for a couple years for that same reason before I realized it was something I would 100% regret on my death bed. I'm always just doing the best I can!
Thank you SO MUCH for talking about Leave No Trace and lessening the impact on the local environment. I work for a well-known land management agency (think green uniforms and funny hats) and I cannot stress enough how important it is to follow local guidelines.
I'm literally packing for a trip later today, so the timing of this video is impeccable!
My husband and I are staying in DC for our anniversary since it's the nearest big city and we don't want to go far bc of Covid. I'm so excited to take the metro into the city and not have to drive. We're staying at an eco-conscious hotel and plan to do a lot of outdoor activities.
People ask why we take trips to nearby places, but I think it's fun to discover new stuff close to home.
I can reduce a lot of things in my life but having my family and friends all over the US, traveling is not one of those things. Thank you so much for these great tips!
This was great! My wife and I are travel agents and I've been wanting to move towards providing a more conscious view on traveling! Thank you!
Also, I need to read a bit more about them, but I recently found resorts under the green key label, looks promising!
I would honestly love if it was the norm for travel agents to know about and be able to advise their clients on sustainable travel! Reduces the need for everyday people to become experts in yet another sustainability topic.
WHAT?! I HAD NO IDEA LYFT OFFSET THEIR FOOTPRINT! That's awesome. I use uber or lyft (whichever has a cheaper estimated total) each morning for work and then take an electric bike or scooter home since I don't have a vehicle. Definitely gonna start choosing Lyft more often now.
If I go back to Kauai I'd like to volunteer to walk shelter dogs, I met someone who was doing that and got to spend the whole day with a dog from the shelter. It sounded so fun!
I personally like to buy backpacks and travel bags from one of the outdoor brands who has lifetime warranty (my faviourite is Osprey) You can mail them you backpack (even second handed ones) and they will either repair it for you, or if it is too old to repair, they will send you a new one. The quality are usually very good, and the functionality of the packs are awesome.
for souvenirs, i usually get a pin or patch to put on my backpack that i use as a suitcase. I also like to get a postcard to put in my journal
Hoping to study abroad in china next summer, and while I can't follow all of these tips (I can't control what hotel we stay in, for instance, or what transportation they use to get us to educational sites), I will definitely be following ones like local/secondhand souvenirs, renting bikes when possible, and light packing (currently thrifting my way toward a capsule wardrobe)! And as someone who has dreams of travelling once I'm a real adult (currently undergrad and premed so a long way off lol), this video is a great reminder to build sustainability into my travel habits from the moment I start!
Great tip about bringing your own reusables with food already in them! I love being in the airport and being able to whip out home made food. Better for the wallet and for the planet, and, let's be honest, it always tastes better, too.
Loved the suggestion of volunteering where you visit! I'm definitely a supporter of volunteerism and your video inspired me to check with an organization that I support already through donations to see if they will let me volunteer while I am visiting them. Thanks!
I literally just got home from my vacation to the beach, and this would have been helpful then! 😆. I do think I did a pretty decent job traveling though!
Great video, Shelbi 💚
We were lucky enough to go to Hawaii for our honeymoon, and we were able to take a dog from the Humane Society on a hike. Then you can leave comments about the dog to help them get adopted! Highly recommend checking that out wherever you travel.
Wow never heard of this that’s amazing!
My husband (who I married before I started my eco-journey) is really slow to change (very much a "I like what I like" person) So could you do a video on how to convince people who are like that to try more eco friendly alternatives. To be clear - he supports me being more eco friendly, but he is also very stubborn when I try more eco brands
I know shelbi has said in the past when people asked this that you can't try to convince/force someone o change and be for sustainable. All you can really do is lead by example so to say and hope that they will come around and follow your lead. x
When i saw this on my feed I was like…how the heck did Shelbi know I have a trip coming up and then i realized this is the time that literally everyone travels🥴 amazing timing, we all needed this
I’d love to know how air bnbs stand in terms of sustainability compared to hotels! I suppose it would depend on the Airbnb though.. :)
Not sure if you have this on your list but please consider evaluating the Trader Joe’s shampoo bar. It’s pretty inexpensive and one of the more easily found.
I use this and love it!
I didn’t know they had it! I might try it next. I’m loving my lush one right now.
Perfect timing. I’m having one last “weekend trip” (a Monday and Tuesday) to the countryside, and so excited.
i’m literally getting on a plane to texas in like 4 hours so this was perfect timing!! keep up the amazing work shelbi you’re so inspiring and amazing at what you do:)
My friend and I are planning to go to Japan next year (so yeah, higher carbon footprint). I went there years ago, but I really want to go back (and my friend is fluent in the language). Good to know about Stasher bags being TSA-approved!
This was perfect timing! I’ll be going to San Fran in a couple days! The stasher bags with the shampoo bars is such a good idea thank you!! I hope you had fun😁✨
Go Climate is absolutely ingenious, I can't wait to look them up. Thanks for the tips, as always 💕
I’m headed to Seattle next month to visit family. I already implement many of these tips but I’ve learned something new and will be implementing even more sustainability tips on this trip-thanks!!
As someone who travels a lot. I reaaaaally loved this video. Thank you for so much insightful information!!!! 💕✨💕✨💕
Love this new video style super fun and so on board with stasher bags for all travel needs
Soooo happy that you made this video, I’m sure it’ll be super helpful for people as I think we can quickly forget to think about how we can make our travels more sustainable. I just bought a great suitcase from a thrift store for £15 and I’m super excited about it! Also yay you finally got a new backpack!
So helpful!! I’ve been wondering about how to be more sustainable for traveling!
Shelbi I'd love to see a deep dive on ferries vs flights. I live in Ireland and from Scotland and can't decide what's better. The ferries are huge and noisy for marine life but would probably run for freight anyway. But I'd love to see a comparison
Have we (as a community) considered a Discord or other system? I know I'd love a central place for us to pick each other's brains on travel, favorite workarounds, etc. For instance, I travel to Dahlonega, GA this year for a wedding and I'm having the hardest time making it more eco.
This video was so chock full of AMAZING tips and advice!! I wish I had had this resource years ago!!
Thank you! So many helpful tips here. Even if I don't travel far, which isn't in the plans for a while... I can use them for "traveling" around the area where I live, or down the road an hour or so for day trips. And, no doubt, I'll be thrifting my souvenirs!
Such good info! Love using stasher bags for toiletries. Thanks for the reminder that Lyft is better than Uber!
I can finally be the commenter who says that a video came just in time! There are some great ideas in here that I'll use for my upcoming trip, thank you!
Absolutely loved this!
Loved this breezy video 😀. Great editing and content.
We had 2 trips planned for this summer. one to finally introduce our baby to our family that's a 10 hr drive away and a 2nd trip 11 hrs away bc I was a bridesmaid in a wedding. Separately these trips would have been 42 hours combined. Instead we went to visit family, then wedding, then home. Made it 37 hr drive instead. I'm an exclusive pumping mom so it required a lot of packing just to feed my baby😅
Love watching your videos! Sending love from New Zealand 💜
Hands down favorite youtube channel always learning something new
Hi Shelbi. What a great video! I always question myself on how I can be sustainable when I travel. Thanks so much for it!
Such a good and informative video!
Shelbi! I appreciate you so much. Your video shares such a complete view of what I can consider when traveling. Volunteering and supporting the locals are things I can look into more. Happy Cow is a very convenient application/website for sure.
I wish you (and whoever else is reading this) a lovely day! :-)
This was a great video, Shelbi! Thank you 😊
This is really one of the best sustainability, Earth conscious channels on yt
I had no idea about Lyft offsetting emissions! Super useful video for my upcoming travels
This was a really fun and informative video! Love the way its filmed and edited. Good job! 👍🏼💖
Great tips and ideas 💡 👍🏾
Love this type of video! You should do more eco-travel blogs when you get the chance. 💚
I’d love to!! We’re doing vlogs on the Shelbi & Madison channel. We don’t point out the eco things like I do here but it’s all there 👍
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!
the editing on this is so good!!
Great tips. I loved this style of video.
Phenomenal video!
This might motivate me to take a holiday abroad for the first time!
such a great and helpful video!!
as a teen i went to where you went at the bridge and i cycled across it and it’s a little slanted and it was absolute hell because it’s so long at you go up but it was fun
Such a great video 💚
Thanks for the tips
The editing is top notch as always
Super cool video! Thank you for this content!😍👌🍃
Thank you for this Shelbi! I'm moving to another country next month and this is super useful. :)
Leave no trace -> this is great advise! Let’s not destroy the places we visit. 😀👍 awesome video.
Just have to say this was an amazing quality video
Excellent video ✨✨✨
Thank you for this! We've entered a new phase of life that unfortunately will involve transatlantic flights every year or two. I want to do everything we can to reduce our impact from those flights, as well as in our daily life to help further offset that travel.
Our favorite souveniors (if it's not something someone specifically wants) are chocolate and wine. Wine bottles of course are recyclable and on our last trip I found a chocolate bar that was packaged in paper and a home compostable wrapper.
Great video, I’d be interested in knowing what sunscreen you are using. It’s something I never thought of and I use it all the time!
A few things:
Signing up for Go Climate TODAY! This is such a great way to help mamma earth.
Volunteering in my local community is a struggle at the moment because I’m doing seasonal work rn in AK, but this is super motivating to do volunteer work wherever I can, especially traveling. Love this idea.
**pale skin needs sunscreen but all of, dark or light need to protect our skin. *cough *cough Madison…
@Rachel Smith first of all, I didn’t say Madison needed to put the sunscreen on in front of us. Second of all, when did I say they weren’t educated?? Oh I DIDNT. Pale skin does burn quicker but we should include all skin types when addressing, every time, that people should wear sunscreen. Don’t assume ignorance.
Total aside but I love the pink thumbs up in the beginning! Can we have a pink thumbs up option everywhere? 💖
I am very lucky to live in Europe where public transportation is generally very good. I try to avoid flying as much as I can and travel by train instead. Great video and I am glad you mentioned flying less because it often gets overlooked yet it has such an immense impact on our footprint!
lmao and i try to avoid the Deutsche Bahn because they are always messing up 😂
I actually like storing my shampoo and conditioner bars in little soap pouches (i knit my own). That way, it's easier to hang them up to dry, and especially if I'm going out that day and they're not dry, I can hang them on my backpack and not have to deal with them getting wet c:
Low waste cleaning routine? I currently use bleach, rags, and the infuse system for the floor but feel like I could be doing better.
I have a question : How do you check the sustainability of different brands? Like, their certification, whether or not they are as sustainable as they claim etc.
Hey Shelbi! Do you think you could link the blog post about finding more eco-friendly hotels? I looked but didn’t see it. :) thanks, love the video ❤️
Probably worth adding that some airlines will give you an option to pay more to 'offset' the emissions. I can't remember the reference for it, but I'm sure research showed that a far better use of that extra money would be to use it on Gold standard offsets (such as Go climate) or initiatives like Treedom, because the airlines will just use the cheapest ones they can call 'offset'.
First comment!! I really love your videos and since my family is going on a vacation next week I really needed this video :)
Oooohhh this is such a cool video!
thank you so much!!
I am pretty sure you are able to find second hand souvenirs in Chicago in every Thrift store, I ALWAYS see something.
Awesome 👌🏼👌🏼
In September I will be heading off to Uganda to do a voluntary service there for a year. I am veery excited to see how environmentally friendly I can make this experience :)
Yay!!!! My Shelbi fix while I sew! 💖🎉👏🎉👏💖 Hello my name is Megan, and I'm addicted to Shelbi and Madison content ❤️😀
You were right across the Bay from me!
Hey Shelbizlee, I was wondering if you had any suggestions on where to purchase beach towels that are eco-friendly/sustainable? What do you have? I’m hoping to hear back from you because I have been searching for about a year now and after an Etsy Turkish towel fail I’m skeptical but want the perfect ones. Thanks for your time!
My dad used to work at trash sorting place (i don't know how do you call that) but thanks to that i have my 2 trusty siutcases. Now they are a little bit broken but i have them 6 years. And someone throw them away as trash. I plan on using them for years.
I love San Francisco so much😍
omg, you were in my city, hope you had a great time!
Yoooo can we get some reef safe sunscreen recs???
Could you do a video on ways for teens or youth to be more eco friendly cause there are so many things I feel are out of my control. Just a thought
Bringing snacks in reusable containers even to just go to the nearby park cause I'm a parent with 2 hungry toddlers 😆✌
I HAVE THAT EXACT BRITA WATER BOTTLE!! I got it for college! I live in in a few days and I’ll be studying Environment Science. 😆
Same Color too. 😍
Fly in the cheapest fare class, and try to choose full flights on big planes? (that's not always practical if you're limited by specific times) I know people like to complain about planes being crowded or not having a lot of leg room, but I'm always happy when I get on a really full flight because it makes me feel like the damage to the environment is being balanced by the benefit to as many people as possible.
does anyone have any recs for reef safe sunscreen?
Our rule for traveling is, staying twice as long as the drive. So if we flew somewhere and it took 6 hours, but normally would take 2 days to drive, we're staying for at last 4 or more days at our destination.
Would you share the name ofvthe sunscreen you were applying and or others you would recommend? Thank you for being considerate of our beautiful manatees here is Flordia as theyvare currently struggling. As always great video.
RUclips won't let me share the link, but "Save The Reef" has a great resource on shopping for reef-safe sunscreen!
@@alyssahayes268 thank you so much! I will go check it out. 😊
hii i'm not sure if you'll see this but I want to start buying more from sustainable brands (: I know you use earth hero, but have you ever tried mindful goods or have any thoughts on it?
