I'm seeing lots of comments from people being inspired by this. I just want to tell y'all that if you want to reduce waste you don't necessarily have to go zero waste right away. Start small. Buy a reusable straw and don't use plastic ones. Carry around a reusable bag with you so you can refuse plastic bags. You can even use a fixed or attachable bidet instead of toilet paper. Not only does it reduce waste it's also a much cleaner alternative. There are lots of small things you can do. Imagine if lots people made small changes like this to their lifestyle. It can have a huge impact on the environment. Be the change you want to see.
@@superbetyl It's hard to drink thick drinks, like smoothies and milkshakes, without a straw. Then again, that might be a very American problem as well 😜
me and my family do use reusable bags, but unfortunately in italy you are supposed to buy biodegradable bags at the supermarkets, I hope they don’t pollute as plastic bags but I can do anything else😕😕

eden you don’t need to hate at people for trying to convince the government to reduse climate change. people are just trying to convince the government to help stop climate change. But yeah I get that too
Nah,she really is not.The whole "This is the only trash I made in 5 years" thing is a lie.When you have what I call a trash jar youre more focused on what you put in the jar than are you saveing the earth.I dont belive she puts glass,a broken phone,plastic cup athat barista at starbucks accidentally gave her,something that her friend bought for her thats made of plastic in that jar.Also her whole company is a scam,there are some usefull things on her site but most of them are unneccesary.Can we also talk about how pricey they are?Or how the fact that they need to get ship all over America does more harm than good?
Recently we found out that even if every person in the world changed today, it wouldn't reverse what we've already done to the planet. Even if we turned off everything and stopped do everything. It can't be changed anymore
@@sofiamarques6012 yeah I know. Just saying tho. But it would be impossible to get everyone on board. Even 60% of the population you wouldn't be able to get to do it. So we fucked either way. Sure let's try to slow the process as much as we can but... That still isn't a very hopeful thought
@@amber.4383 But Thailand, Vietnam, China and the USA are some of the countries that waste the most, so if they could change and start recycling or burn for energy insead of throwing into landfills, it would do a lot for the oceans and the environment.
@@wilmab4120 Yeah. I learned that landfills produce methane (like, considerably), so even replacing fossil fuels with burning trash in high temperatures for energy would be a positive change. Of course, replacing raw materials for products with recycled materials would be the best. But I'm sure that currently there is an excess of material, that doesn't need to be turned into new things - because we have too many things, and because some things are unrecyclable - so some of it can be burned. In Finland there really aren't actual landfills anymore. The one in my town has been turned into a recycling centre and the piles have been sealed to the ground, are cleaned with dry compost and some have been turned into downhill skiing slopes. I think a good option for previous landfill sites would be reforestation. The town sends a pamflet to each household annually about the sorting of the trash and where it can be dropped. Dropping sorted recyclables at the local recycling bins is free, but the trash truck charges a fee, and the recycling centre charges you for dropping your big or dangerous waste there by weight. It's cheaper for the individual to reduce and recycle their waste. But I find it's rarely talked about.
Im Poor but I make it work as much as I can ( it really is a day by day process and it’s a lot of hard adjustments) but also live in a big city so it gonna be easier for those who do 🤷🏻♀️
You dont need money to do zero waste. it actually saves you money bc you are not buying things to throw away (like using reusable towels instead of buying thousands of dollars worth of paper towels)
@@isaidwhatisaid3010 you don't have to be zero waste to help life is hard enough as it is no one will fault you for that just try to do what ever you can makes a impact 😇
Dilute the shampoos (it's actually better cleaning properties for your scalp) and make your own shower gel from soap and water. It's supper easy and I've been doing it since September( my sister since march), you save lots of bottles and it's fun to make your own gel. Good luck!
I use love beauty and planet shampoo and the bottles are made from recycled plastic. Idk if that works for zero-waste but maybe you could use something like that
Oohhh! I use shampoo bars from Lush! They are way better for my hair I find and I have soap bars with the exclusion of dish soap (I need that but I get it in bulk and try to refill but I don’t go in stores anymore :( )
@@ikidnapwaffles Thats great! Sadly, you still have to mix new plastic with the recycled plastic so it’ll be strong enough. However, it’s great that some companies are making an effort to try and re-use plastic!
Tahia Anjum she has a RUclips channel and blog called trash is for tossers that I believe has a few beauty products on it. And if you just search zero wards beauty products you will probably find tons of videos on it.
Being zero waste is sadly not possible if you don't live near a store where you can buy things without packets like she does in the video. I don't have any store like that nearby so I'm forced to have waste on some products. But I like her ideas about vegetables, shampoos, cleaning products, having a set of washable cutlery, etc. The only thing that is hard is taking on the habit of doing those things, not doing those things in itself
The whole goal here is to reduce your waste as much as possible and be conscious about it. Something as simple as bringing your own bag to the store is enough as long as you're doing your best. I have a purse I keep my reusable straw and utensils or I keep them in my car so they're always with me. Just get creative and mindful of your waste and you're already doing better than the majority :)
@@eleni2777 so? So she's making up fake stories and making fun of fake people and she don't got something nice to say it's freedom of speech and if you don't like it deal with it
Amazing T I don’t think you understood this video; everything in the jar is her trash of the PAST 5 YEARS (impressive, right?!). So, also according to your logic (throwing again electronics approximately once a year) the question about electronic trash is valid!
@Amazing T Yes. Obviously. Why throw away electronics if they are still functioning well? Of course electronic trash are the ones that don't work anymore, the ones that can't be repaired, and or are already dangerous when used.
You dont have to splash out and get these all, you can still use your Tupperware for your food, you dont need to get a new toothbrush and dish brush just because there are low waste ones, keep using what you have until you NEED to replace it, *_THEN_* get the more responsible options

@@Bbhjdidbsbaut I thinl for some people because of their jobs or type of lives, they depend a lot on animal products, it's just that thing of not being excessive, so I don't really agree with that
@@arinawa1 I am not sure what people you mean. Maybe tribes who live in the Amazon rainforests, and have no other means of survival (otherwise there is always a choice to change your eating habits, especially if you live in or near a city). But even they are not contributing to the mass animal agriculture that is negatively impacting our environment. The best single thing a person can do to save the environment is to go vegan: ruclips.net/video/owTiJhze5b4/видео.html (watch at 18:18) and www.milliondollarvegan.com/animal-agriculture-pollution-destroying-the-planet/ Also, eating healthy, vegan wholefoods is cheaper than eating processed vegan "food". You can buy lentils, beans, rice, potatoes, carrots, pasta, etc, for example, and use those as your base and simply buy fruits & veggies that are in season /on sale. That is how I started off, and I live in a very expensive city.
Kookie Stole My Heartu I’m not rich at all but I try my best to be as least wasteful as possible. Start in the grocery store, use your reusable bags instead of plastic even for the produce, try not to buy things you don’t need, use reusable fork spoon set everytine you eat out, use bamboo toothbrushes, buy things that are packaged in recycled or glass/jar more, buy more locally, cook more instead of going out, etc.. theirs so many small things you can do that contribute a lot!!:)
Cinthia Uriostegui its a spray connected to ur toilet, and it sprays ur butt lol, its obviously to clean ur butt from poop and blood (if ur on ur period, and its very helpful)

Major commercial manufactures would have to shut down their factories, laying off millions, leading to revolts and ultimately leading to unstable governments and anarchy
Love rainbows Puppys Love rainbows Puppys Love rainbows Puppys 🤦🏻♀️ When packaging is reusable it gets *reused* ! Hence the point of it. If people only use reusable packaging they buy *much* less of it meaning less is sold meaning less is produced meaning less employment is needed. So by having the world only or even mainly using reusable packaging that would seriously impact the economy and hugely damage employment opportunities. Also, since when is people having jobs and being able to support themselves & their families not a positive thing?
I like to live in Nordic countries, since here it's basic to recycle everything. You even get money when you return some of your used glass/plastic bottles and soda cans to a recycling station (let's say a bottle costs 1,20 €, you get 0,20 € back when you return it.) Paper, cardboard, glass, metal and organic waste trash cans are almost all basic in the cities' apartment complexes. In Sweden the whole society has recycled even plastic for years already, the other Nordic countries followed some time behind (correct me if I'm wrong.) I now live in Finland and it's a thing that in a couple of years from now, there will be a garbage tax for every household's unrecycled trash. As long as you recycle and throw the trash in the bins where they are meant, throwing trash away is free, but everything "mixed" will have a price.
Not to mention these countries such as Sweden also use their trash as energy to power homes and cities, and they also import garbage from other countries to use it up in this process.
@@annacay5281 so you want it composting, but not really? also in your fridge the ecosystem that normally composts your stuff just doesn't work. And you know, the smell means it actually is composting. However that smell also makes other fruits compost/get bad earlier. It is quite interesting really.
@@Narabedla4 It's actually pretty common to have a composting bin in the fridge and so it doesn't compost yet, instead you just empty it whenever it's full and bring it to the actual composting 'area' like sth set up in the garden or outside a window or sth (to have a complete composting process inside, like in the kitchen where the bin probably is, can get really...uncomfortable with the smell etc)
@@Narabedla4 She keeps her compost in the freezer during the week so that it doesn't make her kitchen smell/attract bugs and then she takes it to the farmers market on the weekends and donates it to them to use in their soil.
From today onwards, i'm goin zero waste to help the environment! 2 days later... *on the phone, "yea um hi, can i get 5 large pepperonni pizzas with extra extra extra extra cheese and make it quick cuz i'm having a party"*
I do really appreciate what she strives to do and I'm impressed with her environmentalist efforts (much better than I'm doing) but I think the phrase "zero waste" needs to be changed. Creating waste is a symptom of being alive: there is no such thing as living without waste and by emphasizing the "zero" in zero waste, I think it can discourage a lot of people who want to practice better environmentalism by saying "oh, well I can never make NO waste..." Perhaps "limited consumption," "minimal waste," etc would be less dissuasive and more correct.
How do you deal with mail from, for example, the government? I try to reduce my waste to (almost) zero waste, but when I ask authorities and organizations to send mail via email instead of regular mail. But, they seem to ignore the fact that they are wasting so much paper... This is just SO frustrating...
No need for drastic change instantly. I was 8 when I heard about global warming and wanted to do something about it. I started turning off lights I wasn’t using, even though I was so lazy I always protested. The habit moved to turning off powerpoints to not using the aircon everyday and walking instead of driving. I’m 21 now so it may have taken a while to get to where I am but I have definitely lowered my carbon footprint and everyday I think of little ways to change. It doesn’t need to be drastic at all for you to make a difference.
I wish I lived in a place with stores like that! The town I live in has one store. Walmart. And if I want to shop somewhere else I have to drive an hour and a half to a city that also doesn’t have any whole food or zero waste stores. As a college student it can be very hard to reduce my waste and I know it’s not perfect but I like to think that the few things I can do make a difference.
Not only is she saving our earth she is helping her health as well. I say this as you can not very often find things like chips that aren’t in plastic packaging so she is saving her health. Good on you girl ♥️
Just wondering how the shipping from her company works, because unless all her shipping vehicles are electric powered specifically from a sustainable energy source her carbon footprint would be way higher then the averge person.
It’s not about eliminating all the negative aspects completely. It’s more about helping out one category that is detrimental such as plastic/ trash OR choosing to help reduce co2 emissions. start off small and slow that’s what really matters
Yes. But she could have a company AND produce a lot of waste. Demanding perfection from people who live in this world with it's limitations is wrong when they are trying to do best.
By comparison she generates more trash than the average person, but her logic is "if i am not the one who throws is into the trash, i'm not adding it into the jar even if i'm the one generating it" ,which makes the entire concept just performative environentalism at the end ,because she doesn't care about the pollution problem but just looking good herself.
The company's trash is the company's, not hers. We can compare the company to other companies, but it makes zero sense to compare a company to a person.
Me too But I live in a society and all the waste is separated by the workers.. But I don't really know that do they go to the recycling center or not? I don't know that should I start going zero waste or the workers are already doing it? Someone pls tell me... 😢😢😢
Not really.if millions of people didn't use as much plastic and or do what she does so many companies would lose so much money and and places would start having less plastic because no one's coming to their shop.its starts with people and not producers/companies
It's true but consumers, especially from rich countries have a great impact on the policies of companies. By not buying from companies who use child labor or are destroying the environment they force these companies to adopt better practices. Also talking about it in social media can amplify this impact because corporations don't want to be associated with bad things.
Ezon TG I know it’s more convenient to use plastic stuff. They need to make eco-friendly stuff cheaper than plastic stuff. Otherwise most people won’t change their habits.
Dalila Gonzalez for real 🤦🏾♀️they make these products for people who can afford them . And , they don’t make these things available for people who live in poverty/ poor neighborhoods.( you won’t see any of these non packaged things in any low income neighborhoods in philly ) that just shows that they care more about money than the actual cause 🤦🏾♀️
@@dalilaa8791 yes. Like I can't afford to only buy food at the farmers market so that I won't get plastic packaging. That's because farmers markets are "fresh" and "organic" so it costs more. I know they realistically can't charge people less because it cost the sellers more to only be organic, but if they could charge less then for plastic items that would solve a lot.
@@sophieminter0 I'm not sure if the place my mum goes to is the 'farmer's market' but they sell fruits and veggies at a low price without the plastic. It depends where you live but here in England there's this asian shop thats sells all vegetables at such a low price and u don't use plastic but a paper bag instead. Tho its difficult for some families as its quite far away, like a 20min drive and my mum doesnt have a car... So its difficult for my family which walks quite a bit.
Now, I just watch video. Thanks for Lauren about tips and advice for me, I think I will start living a zero-waste lifestyle because it helps me stay healthy and brings benefits for environment and climate. Thank you so much.
Imagine a time where every single human being goes zero waste and all of the companies bankrupt . I whould be so happy if that happens . (I mean they will probably give up packaging and market their products as zero waste )

@@sweetestvibes6642 it does work, and a lot of stuff you already buy are made of recycled plastic or recycled paper. It's mostly that people don't do their part and throw everything into one trashbag. I see a lot of people throwing paper into plastic recycle bins and clothing into paper recycle bins, and so it all has to be screened and cleaned, which is an additional step is that makes recycling more expensive. I work in the plastics industry, a lot of our customers, big OEMs and smaller ones too are now consciouscly looking to include recycled plastic into their products. Not everything can be made from recycled plastic though, since plastic starts losing some of its original properties like toughness or fire retardance or heat retardance or impact resistance when it is being recycled (it essentially needs to be molten again and the heat reduces these properties). So things you want to be durable, for example a car bumper to save your life in an accident, it cannot be made in recycled plastics. You wouldn't want your airplane parts made out of recycled plastic, either. But many things can be manufactured from recycld plastics and companies are now increasingly make the effort to do so. Also because we are ultimately running out of oil, so ...
@Teemeah ok I don’t work recycling and in my home they recycled which is better than throwing them away to the earth, but still it is 100% better if we stop buying things cover in plastic. By that being said, where I live people “recycle” but they don’t clean their plastic and when it’s going to be processed the “batch” of plastic that is recycled is contaminated and so it can’t be used. And then we ended up with more trash. And there’s a lot of ted talks were they explain why recycling it isn’t working
I've been living in Thailand for a few months now, and it made me realise the importance of culture around trash. Here, when you go and buy street food, it's packaged in a plastic bag, with another plastic bag to handle it, and a smaller plastic bag of sauce inside. Your drink is in a plastic cup, which has got its own plastic bag. It doesn't matter if you're eating alone, if you take three small packs of food, they will give you three forks. Sometimes you have biodegradable stuff like banana leaf, inside your plastic container. It really highlights how you need to have around you places and shops and resources that allow you to buy package free, and people willing to do things a bit differently. Because trash is convenient and cheap. That's why I'm thankful for regulatory changes, like the prohibition of plastic single use cups and utensils.
Excellent! I wish more people would do this. You can also use a handheld sprayer-hose. It is a hose that you connect to the water behind your toilet where you can also insert a mixer for those who cannot have a bidet or don't have the space or money to have it put in. The hand-hose is more appropriate. They use it all over the Middle East where I lived for a few years. My loo-rooms all have it, even WiTH bidets I have it.
Hey stop underestimating yourself. You definitely seem to care about the planet. It's not too late. Start with simple things such as less water consumption, not frequently and unnecessarily washing clothes, carrying your cottage tote for groceries shopping, etc All the best 😍
I was really inspired by this girl about a week ago when I was planning on starting my small business I watched this video and I learned of all these cool things and I really encourage everyone to try this because it helps the environment
Hannahh I do too. But I also live in Sweden and here most people sort the trash in to two or three different containers. One for biodegradable trash, one for plastic or aluminum bags (not everyone does this one) and one for the rest. We get free bags from the government for the biodegradable stuff since they use it as fuel for the busses and other stuff. So when I think about it the reason we probably don’t throw the trash so often is because we have three containers for it... But I don’t know how you have it so..yeah
okay, where does she put the envelopes from mail that she recieves? What about gift wrapping from presents? Does she not buy shoes? where does the cardboard box go? Many questions, i could go on all day
I think she doesn't count paper waste because all those little plastic things with which clothing price tags are attached were in her jar but no actual clothing price tags (i don't mean the fabric/plastic tags that are stitched inside clothing because she had those, just not the paper price tags)
You are so inspiring, I have been studying your videos and many other resources, taking initiatives to get more and more less wasteful. Collecting materials to start making own products and also to open a store like yours in our country to serve people my part of the world. Wish to see you during my next trip to USA. Stay blessed.
The Rachel Experience I mean I went on a three week backpacking trip last summer and we had to wipe our butts with our hands. Trust me I was horrified when I found out. But it’s not that bad, as long as you wash your hands immediately after.
The energy used to produce these goods is very important to note. Buying reusable materials can quite often be worse for the environment, especially when these come from small scale manufacturing. A canvas bag uses over 120 times the energy to produce than a plastic one. You may not be producing trash yourself, but the industry behind your products are producing that trash.
It is! If I can give u an advice as someone whose been living low impact for about a year now: don't pressure yourself into being perfect and don't hate yourself if all your trash doesn't just for a mason jar. It's hard and sometimes expensive and honestly just reducing your waste as much as possible is good enough! 💛
all the best!! I'm from sg too and I know it takes a lot of effort but with small changes every day we can and will make a difference!:) it's all in the baby steps!
USA should learn to decompose trash like how Singapore did, sorry if I’m offending some people. It’s just, Singapore can destroy trash in 1 day. It’s amazing

Nah,she really is not.The whole "This is the only trash I made in 5 years" thing is a lie.When you have what I call a trash jar youre more focused on what you put in the jar than are you saveing the earth.I dont belive she puts glass,a broken phone,plastic cup athat barista at starbucks accidentally gave her,something that her friend bought for her thats made of plastic in that jar.Also her whole company is a scam,there are some usefull things on her site but most of them are unneccesary.Can we also talk about how pricey they are?Or how the fact that they need to get ship all over America does more harm than good?

*now if only we could get everyone to go zero waste and we might actually save the world*
Recently we found out that even if every person in the world changed today, it wouldn't reverse what we've already done to the planet. Even if we turned off everything and stopped do everything. It can't be changed anymore
@@sofiamarques6012 yeah I know. Just saying tho. But it would be impossible to get everyone on board. Even 60% of the population you wouldn't be able to get to do it. So we fucked either way. Sure let's try to slow the process as much as we can but... That still isn't a very hopeful thought
@@amber.4383 But Thailand, Vietnam, China and the USA are some of the countries that waste the most, so if they could change and start recycling or burn for energy insead of throwing into landfills, it would do a lot for the oceans and the environment.
@@wilmab4120 Yeah. I learned that landfills produce methane (like, considerably), so even replacing fossil fuels with burning trash in high temperatures for energy would be a positive change. Of course, replacing raw materials for products with recycled materials would be the best. But I'm sure that currently there is an excess of material, that doesn't need to be turned into new things - because we have too many things, and because some things are unrecyclable - so some of it can be burned.
In Finland there really aren't actual landfills anymore. The one in my town has been turned into a recycling centre and the piles have been sealed to the ground, are cleaned with dry compost and some have been turned into downhill skiing slopes. I think a good option for previous landfill sites would be reforestation.
The town sends a pamflet to each household annually about the sorting of the trash and where it can be dropped. Dropping sorted recyclables at the local recycling bins is free, but the trash truck charges a fee, and the recycling centre charges you for dropping your big or dangerous waste there by weight. It's cheaper for the individual to reduce and recycle their waste. But I find it's rarely talked about.

I really really wish in America we had stations to fill up shampoo and conditioner I hate how many bottles I go through
Dilute the shampoos (it's actually better cleaning properties for your scalp) and make your own shower gel from soap and water. It's supper easy and I've been doing it since September( my sister since march), you save lots of bottles and it's fun to make your own gel. Good luck!
Shampoo bars!!!! I find mine on Etsy there are some great ones in there that come in recyclable packaging too
I use love beauty and planet shampoo and the bottles are made from recycled plastic. Idk if that works for zero-waste but maybe you could use something like that
Oohhh! I use shampoo bars from Lush! They are way better for my hair I find and I have soap bars with the exclusion of dish soap (I need that but I get it in bulk and try to refill but I don’t go in stores anymore :( )

Being zero waste is sadly not possible if you don't live near a store where you can buy things without packets like she does in the video. I don't have any store like that nearby so I'm forced to have waste on some products.
But I like her ideas about vegetables, shampoos, cleaning products, having a set of washable cutlery, etc. The only thing that is hard is taking on the habit of doing those things, not doing those things in itself
Just try your best~ that will be enough
@@cat_pb no it wont.
The whole goal here is to reduce your waste as much as possible and be conscious about it. Something as simple as bringing your own bag to the store is enough as long as you're doing your best. I have a purse I keep my reusable straw and utensils or I keep them in my car so they're always with me. Just get creative and mindful of your waste and you're already doing better than the majority :)

@@Bbhjdidbsbaut I thinl for some people because of their jobs or type of lives, they depend a lot on animal products, it's just that thing of not being excessive, so I don't really agree with that
@@arinawa1 I am not sure what people you mean. Maybe tribes who live in the Amazon rainforests, and have no other means of survival (otherwise there is always a choice to change your eating habits, especially if you live in or near a city). But even they are not contributing to the mass animal agriculture that is negatively impacting our environment.
The best single thing a person can do to save the environment is to go vegan: ruclips.net/video/owTiJhze5b4/видео.html (watch at 18:18) and www.milliondollarvegan.com/animal-agriculture-pollution-destroying-the-planet/
Also, eating healthy, vegan wholefoods is cheaper than eating processed vegan "food".

Love rainbows Puppys Love rainbows Puppys Love rainbows Puppys 🤦🏻♀️ When packaging is reusable it gets *reused* ! Hence the point of it. If people only use reusable packaging they buy *much* less of it meaning less is sold meaning less is produced meaning less employment is needed. So by having the world only or even mainly using reusable packaging that would seriously impact the economy and hugely damage employment opportunities. Also, since when is people having jobs and being able to support themselves & their families not a positive thing?

I like to live in Nordic countries, since here it's basic to recycle everything. You even get money when you return some of your used glass/plastic bottles and soda cans to a recycling station (let's say a bottle costs 1,20 €, you get 0,20 € back when you return it.) Paper, cardboard, glass, metal and organic waste trash cans are almost all basic in the cities' apartment complexes. In Sweden the whole society has recycled even plastic for years already, the other Nordic countries followed some time behind (correct me if I'm wrong.)
I now live in Finland and it's a thing that in a couple of years from now, there will be a garbage tax for every household's unrecycled trash. As long as you recycle and throw the trash in the bins where they are meant, throwing trash away is free, but everything "mixed" will have a price.

@@annacay5281 so you want it composting, but not really?
also in your fridge the ecosystem that normally composts your stuff just doesn't work.
And you know, the smell means it actually is composting. However that smell also makes other fruits compost/get bad earlier.
It is quite interesting really.
@@Narabedla4 It's actually pretty common to have a composting bin in the fridge and so it doesn't compost yet, instead you just empty it whenever it's full and bring it to the actual composting 'area' like sth set up in the garden or outside a window or sth (to have a complete composting process inside, like in the kitchen where the bin probably is, can get really...uncomfortable with the smell etc)
@@Nakarem That makes sense
@@Narabedla4 She keeps her compost in the freezer during the week so that it doesn't make her kitchen smell/attract bugs and then she takes it to the farmers market on the weekends and donates it to them to use in their soil.

Remus Lupin everyday I’m a step nearer and believe we can all make a difference with little changes
I do really appreciate what she strives to do and I'm impressed with her environmentalist efforts (much better than I'm doing) but I think the phrase "zero waste" needs to be changed. Creating waste is a symptom of being alive: there is no such thing as living without waste and by emphasizing the "zero" in zero waste, I think it can discourage a lot of people who want to practice better environmentalism by saying "oh, well I can never make NO waste..." Perhaps "limited consumption," "minimal waste," etc would be less dissuasive and more correct.
not to mention her company sells sacred things such as white sage :/
Wast is human nature. If everyone cut their wast in half the world become way better. The answer is not “zero” it is “less”

No need for drastic change instantly. I was 8 when I heard about global warming and wanted to do something about it. I started turning off lights I wasn’t using, even though I was so lazy I always protested. The habit moved to turning off powerpoints to not using the aircon everyday and walking instead of driving. I’m 21 now so it may have taken a while to get to where I am but I have definitely lowered my carbon footprint and everyday I think of little ways to change.

It’s not about eliminating all the negative aspects completely. It’s more about helping out one category that is detrimental such as plastic/ trash OR choosing to help reduce co2 emissions. start off small and slow that’s what really matters
Yes. But she could have a company AND produce a lot of waste. Demanding perfection from people who live in this world with it's limitations is wrong when they are trying to do best.
Maybe she use magic carpet or storks.
By comparison she generates more trash than the average person, but her logic is "if i am not the one who throws is into the trash, i'm not adding it into the jar even if i'm the one generating it" ,which makes the entire concept just performative environentalism at the end ,because she doesn't care about the pollution problem but just looking good herself.
The company's trash is the company's, not hers. We can compare the company to other companies, but it makes zero sense to compare a company to a person.

Individuals have an impact but we can’t save the planet without producers making drastic changes
Not really.if millions of people didn't use as much plastic and or do what she does so many companies would lose so much money and and places would start having less plastic because no one's coming to their shop.its starts with people and not producers/companies
It's true but consumers, especially from rich countries have a great impact on the policies of companies. By not buying from companies who use child labor or are destroying the environment they force these companies to adopt better practices. Also talking about it in social media can amplify this impact because corporations don't want to be associated with bad things.
A zero waste life is a life that everyone should live . But people make it so hard to do with prices and what not .
Ezon TG I know it’s more convenient to use plastic stuff. They need to make eco-friendly stuff cheaper than plastic stuff. Otherwise most people won’t change their habits.
Dalila Gonzalez for real 🤦🏾♀️they make these products for people who can afford them . And , they don’t make these things available for people who live in poverty/ poor neighborhoods.( you won’t see any of these non packaged things in any low income neighborhoods in philly ) that just shows that they care more about money than the actual cause 🤦🏾♀️
@@dalilaa8791 yes. Like I can't afford to only buy food at the farmers market so that I won't get plastic packaging. That's because farmers markets are "fresh" and "organic" so it costs more. I know they realistically can't charge people less because it cost the sellers more to only be organic, but if they could charge less then for plastic items that would solve a lot.
@@sophieminter0 I'm not sure if the place my mum goes to is the 'farmer's market' but they sell fruits and veggies at a low price without the plastic.
It depends where you live but here in England there's this asian shop thats sells all vegetables at such a low price and u don't use plastic but a paper bag instead.

You know, you could also recycle if you don’t think you can go to this extent. This is really good though
Saltynebula3475 I recommend you, go watch a video of how recycling plastic it isn’t working
@@sweetestvibes6642 it does work, and a lot of stuff you already buy are made of recycled plastic or recycled paper. It's mostly that people don't do their part and throw everything into one trashbag. I see a lot of people throwing paper into plastic recycle bins and clothing into paper recycle bins, and so it all has to be screened and cleaned, which is an additional step is that makes recycling more expensive. I work in the plastics industry, a lot of our customers, big OEMs and smaller ones too are now consciouscly looking to include recycled plastic into their products. Not everything can be made from recycled plastic though, since plastic starts losing some of its original properties like toughness or fire retardance or heat retardance or impact resistance when it is being recycled (it essentially needs to be molten again and the heat reduces these properties). So things you want to be durable, for example a car bumper to save your life in an accident, it cannot be made in recycled plastics. You wouldn't want your airplane parts made out of recycled plastic, either. But many things can be manufactured from recycld plastics and companies are now increasingly make the effort to do so. Also because we are ultimately running out of oil, so ...
@Teemeah ok I don’t work recycling and in my home they recycled which is better than throwing them away to the earth, but still it is 100% better if we stop buying things cover in plastic. By that being said, where I live people “recycle” but they don’t clean their plastic and when it’s going to be processed the “batch” of plastic that is recycled is contaminated and so it can’t be used. And then we ended up with more trash.
And there’s a lot of ted talks were they explain why recycling it isn’t working
Marianne do you really not realize that most plastic things these days are maked from recycled materials?
That’s what I do. I try to recycle everything I can think of. I even get my friends to as well when they visit.
3:00 how can you go to the bathroom and live a zero waste lifestye? WATER DUHHH!!
@Azrael litteraly cleaner if you just use water.
In Cambodia, we use water to clean up just water!!

I've been living in Thailand for a few months now, and it made me realise the importance of culture around trash. Here, when you go and buy street food, it's packaged in a plastic bag, with another plastic bag to handle it, and a smaller plastic bag of sauce inside. Your drink is in a plastic cup, which has got its own plastic bag. It doesn't matter if you're eating alone, if you take three small packs of food, they will give you three forks. Sometimes you have biodegradable stuff like banana leaf, inside your plastic container. It really highlights how you need to have around you places and shops and resources that allow you to buy package free, and people willing to do things a bit differently. Because trash is convenient and cheap. That's why I'm thankful for regulatory changes, like the prohibition of plastic single use cups and utensils.
Lauren I've been following you on social media for quite some time
LOL you and I both know that your mason jar is older than five years!
I live zero waste!
*scoops trash and puts in jar*
*starts recording*
Isac Rancic I- 💀
Excellent! I wish more people would do this.
You can also use a handheld sprayer-hose. It is a hose that you connect to the water behind your toilet where you can also insert a mixer for those who cannot have a bidet or don't have the space or money to have it put in. The hand-hose is more appropriate. They use it all over the Middle East where I lived for a few years. My loo-rooms all have it, even WiTH bidets I have it.
For a minute and forty seven seconds, this girl did not breathe.
I feel so guilty now
Me: Wow, she's so inspirational, hopefully someone will do the same.
Also me: **does nothing**
Same lol
Hey stop underestimating yourself. You definitely seem to care about the planet. It's not too late. Start with simple things such as less water consumption, not frequently and unnecessarily washing clothes, carrying your cottage tote for groceries shopping, etc
All the best 😍
Coz u lazy bich you should force urself or you'll stay as an ugly shi sitting around doing nothing
Omg so true!
I was really inspired by this girl about a week ago when I was planning on starting my small business I watched this video and I learned of all these cool things and I really encourage everyone to try this because it helps the environment
When I saw the title I thought it would be about efficient packaging :p))))
K VEDZ same

Meanwhile I have to take out the trash every day
A few months ago I did that too. :D
Hannahh EVERYDAY?! Damn bro u throw away a lot
Kristy Sedlakova
I have a family
Hannahh I do too. But I also live in Sweden and here most people sort the trash in to two or three different containers. One for biodegradable trash, one for plastic or aluminum bags (not everyone does this one) and one for the rest. We get free bags from the government for the biodegradable stuff since they use it as fuel for the busses and other stuff.
So when I think about it the reason we probably don’t throw the trash so often is because we have three containers for it...
But I don’t know how you have it so..yeah
Kristy Sedlakova ok lol i have a big family soo
okay, where does she put the envelopes from mail that she recieves? What about gift wrapping from presents? Does she not buy shoes? where does the cardboard box go? Many questions, i could go on all day
wesenu terefe most likely recycles envelopes or letters. Buying shoes secondhand is a thing.
My family reuses all cardboard boxes for Christmas as well as bags. It's definitely less of a strain for cleaning up but the storage is annoying.
wesenu terefe ALL PAPER PRODUCTS CAN BE RECYCLED:)
Ummmmm......... Reusing and Recycling is a thing people ........
I think she doesn't count paper waste because all those little plastic things with which clothing price tags are attached were in her jar but no actual clothing price tags (i don't mean the fabric/plastic tags that are stitched inside clothing because she had those, just not the paper price tags)
You are so inspiring, I have been studying your videos and many other resources, taking initiatives to get more and more less wasteful. Collecting materials to start making own products and also to open a store like yours in our country to serve people my part of the world. Wish to see you during my next trip to USA. Stay blessed.
Wow. I never thought this possible. You've got to strongly respect this girl.
But there are no toothbrushes in the jar? Does she brushed her teeth with the same toothbrush for 5 years?
She uses bamboo toothbrushes which are recyable. The trashes she has In the jar aren't recyable.
@May Frog Some toothbrushes can be planted in the ground, such as a few pencils and phone cases that are biodegradable.
Did I mention that she is not only pretty on the inside but also on the outside? Like her hair is beautiful!
wow...I am applying your methods.... thank you
GOOD FOR HER!!!! The earth thanks you😊❣️❣️
Other People: Months without making trash.
Her: Hold my mason jar.
Thank you for making a difference and inspiring me and so many others to do so too
"Just got a bidet" IM- HAS SHE NOT BEEN WIPING THIS WHOLE TIME
You missed the point.. she just got one... Meaning she has not been wiping at all this whole time.
She uses her hair that’s why it’s brown it was blond before
Even with a bidet you should wipe a bit
The Rachel Experience I mean I went on a three week backpacking trip last summer and we had to wipe our butts with our hands. Trust me I was horrified when I found out. But it’s not that bad, as long as you wash your hands immediately after.
There are fabric wipes I suppose (hope) she used that or some other durable option
The energy used to produce these goods is very important to note. Buying reusable materials can quite often be worse for the environment, especially when these come from small scale manufacturing. A canvas bag uses over 120 times the energy to produce than a plastic one. You may not be producing trash yourself, but the industry behind your products are producing that trash.
i’m on my journey to go zero waste and as a person in junior college in singapore it’s pretty tough HAHA
kokoro nah it’d be pretty easy in Singapore it’s so clean there
@@caitlinwallace8506 lol no we're just careful to throw things away in bins
oliveoakapple oh haha good luck on your zero waste journey
It is! If I can give u an advice as someone whose been living low impact for about a year now: don't pressure yourself into being perfect and don't hate yourself if all your trash doesn't just for a mason jar. It's hard and sometimes expensive and honestly just reducing your waste as much as possible is good enough! 💛
all the best!! I'm from sg too and I know it takes a lot of effort but with small changes every day we can and will make a difference!:) it's all in the baby steps!
One way is to offer law-makers some coupons for them to use when they buy from ZeroWaste Stores. They are the key proponents for the change.
this is so inspirational. if someone bothers you and you do the same thing, change your ENTIRE lifestyle just to make them feel bad. 😁
USA should learn to decompose trash like how Singapore did, sorry if I’m offending some people. It’s just, Singapore can destroy trash in 1 day. It’s amazing
It's not offensive. It's truth! US got a lot to come up in. And I'm an American saying this.
