if you saw the thumbnail before this one.. no you didn't.
nooo but it was so funny ddsibfk
So funny
🤣😭💀
I saw it😈😈😂😂
girl put it back!!
I don’t envy your job one bit. It’s like people are just looking for things to say “gotcha!” to. You do so much already and your content really makes a difference, so thank you.
The “gotcha” attitude really bugs me! One place I constantly run into it is when people talk about wind generation for electricity. People love to show up and talk about bird deaths with that “gotcha” attitude.
But they’re making this comparison in a vacuum and totally disregard the fact that coal/natural gas power plants actually kill more birds per KWh generated! And they ignore the fact that the leading cause of bird deaths is actually outdoor cats.
So keeping our cats as indoor only and supporting Trap, neuter, release (TNR) programs in your local area will have a MUCH more profound effect on bird lives…
It’s as if we feel like we get higher on the “good people” list if we nitpick someone else…like, “ha! I’m better at this than you because I noticed xyz.”
Tiiiiiiired
With the exception of maybe being playful with friends/family I really hate gotcha when it comes to discussions. Like it's not cool or faithfully arguing if you purposely take people out of context or ignore all nuance and makes everyone more divisive and miserable.
Well shit. I finished gardening and decided to sit by my fan with a glass of ice water and enjoy your content on my refurbished iPhone 6 (that I charged with solar!). Didn’t realize I’ve committed a multitude of sins. Some people. 🤦♀️
You’re an amazing person and activist Shelbi!
And I bet you sat on a chair of some sort which took energy to make in or around your home which has water and electricity installed. What a sinner! 😋😻
How dare you not sit flat on the ground!
But also if you did sit on the ground... How dare you crush so many plants and I sects - don't you know we need to save the pollinators?!
You're doing great 💕
It's really sad that people are so nit picky when they probably don't even do a QUARTER of the sustainable things you do...
I'm so glad you're getting help, the internet is a cruel place a lot of the time. Your true supporters will always be grateful for everything you do. Wishing you all the strength, peace and patience!
I feel like that's the exact reason why they're nit picky... To put the blame on others and to not accept any blame themselves
Definitely and they blame the individual instead of corporations and governments that make sustainable living impossible. We didn’t opt-into this system. 🙄
I second that!
Yesssss you know someone is writing those comments while like making coffee with a k cup or throwing dryer sheets in their dryer lmao
I have never commented on any of your videos or really looked at any of the comments, but I've watched your videos religiously for the last 2 years. It seems like the nit-picky peoples voices are louder, and I just want to let you know how much I love your content. There are probably many like me who don't comment enough to let you know we hear your message, appreciate how real you are and tell you what a great example you are of your moto (both of them now). Thank you!
Yes! The extremes tend to be the loudest. That’s why I’ve started going into the comment sections to balance it out but comment sections can be so toxic 🫣
@@miss_xenia_ Yes, this. Even just adding a little comment that the video was enjoyable balances it out. I work on RUclips (for a different creator, I'm not a creator myself) and the nice comments are noticed, trust me. The mean ones are just louder sometimes.
hah! ^this. I just commented basically the same thing. so, can confirm... there are more people like you out there.
Ditto!
I will comment here just to say that absolutely I'm totally a lurker but you have helped me make so many personal changes in my day-to-day that are better for the planet and I'm so grateful for you!
I will never understand the whole "why is your fan on if it's not hot outside"
1) unless you are literally her neighbor you have no idea how hot it was when she was filming
2) a couple of kilowatts is not worth Shelby, Madison, and Tippy all getting heatstroke
Also, I don't really get the ice thing either. Literally your freezer is always on, whether there is an ice pack in there or not doesn't matter... She lives in Texas iirc, I would argue that ice is a necessity there. The people commenting on that should maybe ask why has it gotten so hot in Texas recently? Perhaps a little thing called climate change??
I love that you show the imperfections, struggles, and process of how you decide which choices to make. The “perfect” standard is obviously impossible and makes me feel so discouraged. And the deeper videos you make are so important and needed. Sorry the internet people have been so horrible.
Girl I love you because you're normal and it's relatable
So many content creators deal with sustainability, environment and conscious living, yet this is the only channel that I follow religiously because you tell things as they are.
I'm tired of the picture perfect lifestyle, of women who look and talk exactly like one another telling me to dump my stuff and replace it with bamboo products. I stopped following everyone who tried to showcase their yearly trash contained in a jar, because it was giving me anxiety and making me wonder why I can't reach such ridiculous goals. We are all doing the best we can with the cards we have been dealt.
Sending you love from Europe! 🥰
Yeah. I know reduce waste but that's unrealistic that people can fit a year's trash in a jar. I don't believe them.
Uhh, ceiling fans actually save energy! They provide extra cooling so you don't have to run your AC as cold 🤦🏻♀️
honestly girl, you and Madison are doing great. I know the negative comments can be discouraging, but please don't let them get to you! Your work is way too important and I have learned so much from you 🖤
I Love to see the “unsustainable” things you do because I need to see that as a person trying my best. If you only show perfect things it makes me feel like garbage since I could never be perfect. THANK YOU FOR WHAT YOU DO 💚💚💚
well said!
People love to knit pick and it does make creators interact less in the comments which is unfortunate and not fair for those that are supporters. Love your content!
I've seen some creators only interact with patrons who get advanced access to the videos and, like, fuck i get it
We love you Shelby!!
Thank you for highlighting that everyone's best looks different and the most impactful changes are structural ones. Perfection isn't realistic for anyone. Your videos have helped me to make changes and to increase my awareness, thank you! 💕
This is really helpful. I tend to feel a lot of guilt for not being perfect. Perfectionism has always been a problem for me.
I so get that. I feel guilty for buying convenience foods sometimes, so I skip on them all together and think I’ll make them myself but then I just end up not eating because I didn’t have time to make yogurt or bread or whatever I usually have for lunch/breakfast. I have to know my limits because I can’t always do it all.
@@Plantsandmusicandyarn Wow that sounds like a struggle. I can understand how that would happen. Remeber you can't fight for the causes you care out with out nuturing your own body first🧡
Thanks for being so honest about what you’re going through. Don’t forget to check how liked the comments are when they’re getting you down.
Im willing to bet most comments that are thankful for what you do end up with tons of likes (to the point that they’re 90% or more of your engagement) while the negative ones end up with almost none.
On a personal level, you’re one of the few zero waste channels I can religiously watch BECAUSE you’re not artificial and full of crap like all the other ones.
Yes, all of this!!
You do you. You know not to pay attention to the nit picky. That alone is important. Folks in life that have caused me the most grief had issues worse than any they could try to create for me.
We all do not have to agree on everything. R E S P E C T. You have mine.
@@charcoalmef I run into similar comments from time to time on my videos as well, but my channel’s not big enough to attract the real trolls like Shelbi’s.
So I’m actually kinda mentioning it as a way of reminding myself I guess haha! It’s hard sometimes honestly. Negative stuff sticks with us more than the positive for whatever reason!
Her and SedonaChristina are the only 2 sustainability YT I watch because they're the only ones I find are actually realistic !
Some people need to go outside. Honestly, I get so much inspiration from your videos and they keep me motivated to continue towards goals of being more environmentally conscious. Your the goal I'm working toward and I learn from you with every video. So keep doing what you're doing. The naysayers always seem to have the loudest voices. You're doing great.
I get sick and stressed seeing people’s ridiculous comments on my favorite RUclipsrs feeds. I can’t imagine how it weighs on you. From the bottom of my heart, I love your personality, and thank you for the great content!
Yes! This kind of toxic behaviors need to stop, well said.
Honestly annoyed you had to make this video, how can anyone expect you to be perfect. We're all the doing the best we can and you've always be soo open from the beginning. Keep doing you, I find your videos super helpful and full of knowledge so I love coming back to your channel.
Can I just apologize, on behalf of all the assholes...I'm so sorry that you feel discouraged from being your authentic natural self at all times. Your content is needed and appreciated. Every bit of it. "If you don't have something nice to say..." If it's not constructive, just shut up? Shelby clearly shines in this movement towards helping our Earth and encouraging others to do the same. If you don't like it, leave her alone and actually leave. End of story. Love you girl, and that wifey too! Been watching more of your vlog channel and seeing you 2 together more, and sweet Tippy! Makes me so happy. Thank you for everything over the years. 💚
Great video! Wish people would realize it’s about progress, not perfection. I agree with Ava, that often I feel guilt if I’m not doing things perfectly. And it’s killer, man. We are just trying to do better. We aren’t saints, and even they weren’t perfect. Thanks for all you do and sorry for the shit you get. You inspire so many of us!
I love the nuance you bring into this space and I appreciate your openness about all of this. I'm sorry so many people are inconsiderate and pass so much judgement on to you. I wish it was as simple as ignoring the negative comments; but I know that that's not how brains work. I hope therapy helps you and that you start making improvement.
I think people who are making negative comments on your videos are projecting their own insecurities onto you because it's easier than facing reality. I think it's great that you've made this video to confront those people on this, but I really hope you will not take it to heart and let others make you feel inadequate in anyway. There are so many of us who admire how you live your life, don't forget! I really appreciate you and want to thank you for educating me on so many things. I've made some serious changes in my life with your help and am excited to do what I can to live more sustainably. Keep doing you Shelbi, cuz you're doing what you can for this planet and making others want to too!
Couldn't have said it any better! There must always be darkness to make us see and appreciate the light.
The new quote and the graphic that goes with it are fantastic!
People are trash, but your channel is awesome and so helpful. I appreciate every video you make!
I love watching your video's, you have taught me a lot and really opened my eyes to how wasteful I was. I just sit here and enjoy them, I could never find something to nit pick and criticize you on. It seems that alot of people don't know how to enjoy anything anymore and have to critique everything.
I think we all need this reminder on a regular basis. Being a woman i feel this pressure to hold all the roles; mom, wife, professional working woman, daughter, sister equality and perfectly. You are good enough and life isn't perfect and you cant be everything to everyone. You should start or end all your videos with that quote. Little changes can have huge impact in all areas of your life. Kudos for you for being real
OMG. I think you hit the nail on the head! People just want to find things to criticize. It seems to be ‘a thing’ nowadays. Not sure why but I totally appreciate all the things you show and new ideas. Thank you. Xo
Please.continue.being.REAL!!! It is the only reason why I watch your channel so much. It’s reality, it’s honest, and unpretentious. I don’t watch other “perfect” channels because I can’t connect with them, unlike you and your channel that is so encouraging to just start doing something, and be serious about it, but being kind to yourself at the same time.
Also, I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and never understood the need for air conditioning until I moved to Texas. Anyone who has never lived here cannot understand. Ceiling fans for air circulation are also a must.
I also get really pissed off at pretentious environmentalists from NYC or or the East Coast in general who have no concept of how car-dependent Texas and other spread-out areas are. When I get told that I should just start riding a bike more I just laugh and enjoy the mental image of slapping their stupid faces. Sorry that was harsh lol
My friends and family constantly tell me I should be a content creator but I absolutely would not want to deal with the ignorance of society.
I genuinely appreciate your channel you were one of the people that got me interested in living more sustainable and caring about the environment❤️
I started watching you about 3 months ago; the thing you said about “you can’t do all the good in the world, but the world can use all the good you can do” was what stuck with me and keeps me coming back for more! Shelby you are doing amazing work! 🤗
Blows my mind that people even have the audacity to say some of those things much less to someone they don't know and who is just trying to help us all be a bit better in out world. Noone is perfect nor does anyone do all of the things all of the time, we're all just trying our best. Glad you got this of your chest!! Thanks for all you have taught me over the years, it's truly appreciated. ✌️
The more I watch your channel the more I respect the hard work that goes into it. There is a level of research and realism that is not common to see. Plus, may I just say, I SO appreciate the balance of your perspective. You do a great job of inspiring me to take individual action, as well as acknowledging the systemic changes that need to happen. Plus giving specific examples of how I can use my influence to push for that change-- it gives me so much hope!
I don't know if I'll be able to word this correctly, but I can't help but feel like the people who are too nit-picky are deriving satisfaction from making sustainable living seem impossible. Maybe they just like being jerks, or maybe they're trying to give themselves excuses. It's so funny (in a sad way) that they would criticize you for not being "perfect" when that's literally the opposite of what your channel is about.
Thank you for this video! It's something people need to hear, although I'm sure the majority is mature enough to understand that no one is perfect (including them). I hope you won't stop posting because I genuinely consider you one of the best creators who talk about environmental issues. Specifically, because you are fair, and authentic and talk about issues others don't address. Your approach is (ironically) perfect because consider every side of an issue. So, thank you for your work.
Being perfect at zero waste in the society we currently live in is so difficult. I'd really like to see the people criticizng showing everyone everything they use in their life and see if it's perfect 🙃
Tbh seeing your videos is the sole reason I started to change how much I consume and throw away, swapped to a lot of zero waste stuff etc. You've already made a giant impact on so many individuals and you should be proud of yourself!
Perfection is a lie. Full stop. I genuinely appreciate this channel and it has given me information to make positive changes in my life. Shelby, You are making a huge positive impact. I know your job is hard. Please don't give up on sharing and teaching.
Newby here. Thank you, you have inspired me exactly in the way I think you intended to do. I haven't shifted my life upside down but I am looking around at things that could be better. One here, another there. It's not huge by any means but you did change my outlook on things. I didn't know food going to landfill was so damaging. I didn't know aquatic life provides most of oxygen. Etc. etc. etc. Let me sneak in a little request for the off chance you do see this comment: I don't live in the US, where I live most waste is burned. Do you have any information or tips for how I can treat my garbage best? You talk a lot about landfills but that doesn't apply to my personal situation. Love for you to inform me. Thank you again so so much, your channel really helps.
I’m the same, a lot of things you can do involve reducing your waste (try doing a trash audit), upcycling as much as possible, composting (food waste takes a lot of energy to incinerate as it is so wet). Hope that helps, Good luck!
You go girl! You gotta do what's best for you, and I'm SO thankful for your honesty and transparency. I feel like the last few weeks I've slipped a lot in my sustainable habits, and I'm wanting to get back into it. But having grace for myself in the times where I'm not "perfect" is so important, if I didn't I would get burned out SO easily.
I'm so sorry to hear that people criticize you so much around some of these things. You're doing the best you can (which is A LOT!) and I SO appreciate watching your videos as it allows me to learn so much about making less wasteful choices!
Oh, Shelbi... I'm so sad you have to endure all of this 💔 I think you're doing an amazing job. Like you said, we have to do what we can, so there's no point in judging people based on the standard of perfection instead of reality. Keep going girl, you're a beautiful soldier of the Earth and nobody's voice is more important than the voice of your soul, so if you're at peace with yourself and your life, the rest of the world can go to hell 😘😘💚💚
I'm amazed and inspired that you and your wife are able to live so sustainably and do all the things you do. It's wonderful to know that a life like yours is possible, even/especially because it's not perfect.
Shelby, I cannot even begin to tell you how much you’ve helped me with my sustainable lifestyle. It really hurts my heart that you even had to make a video like this. People who criticize you honestly just don’t understand how difficult it is to have a sustainable lifestyle particularly in the US and that you sometimes have to choose your mental health or yourself over sustainability. Yes, you can always be more sustainable, but do these people not understand you’re a human & need to live your life? It blows my mind that they have the need to comment about having AC, they obviously have never been to Texas in the summer. (Fellow San Antonian myself) 😂 y’all wouldn’t even last a day. Please know you have a huge community that supports and appreciates you! This is also honestly my first comment on one of your videos even though I’ve seen so many, just know you have tons of silent appreciators!!!
Thank you for this video❤️ I feel a lot of guilt around my life & I love that you give space to learn, grow, change & advocate for LARGE change. In my personal life I run into a lot of feedback that x,y,x isn’t worth the effort & I get it. & I totally see that valid point but it brings me down because it’s an action I can take big or small. That’s for showing that perfection isn’t the goal, large scale change is. Also your gorgeous so screw thee haters that say mean things about you. They are trolls & it must totally suck to live in their negative headspace.
You make me feel better about what I *can* do for the planet without making me feel like complete trash for what I *can't* do. Your content is both relatable and inspirational, and I love it!
For what it's worth I love your slogan. It really helps any time something feels like only a small effort that won't help much to remind myself that any good I can put into the world is a positive. People love to criticise to make themselves feel justified in giving up and not trying at all. We can all only do the best we can with what we have and none of us can be perfect simply because the system doesn't allow us to but that doesn't mean we should just give up like many people sadly seem to think. Plus talking about our efforts helps everyone because we can all share ideas and it helps us all improve little by little.
When people think they have to be “sustainable “ in a perfect way, it puts way to much pressure on them. They may think, “if I can’t go all the way, why bother”. I always love your tips for living sustainability and know that every little thing counts. Also, love your message, today! There is a culture now, where people look for ways to criticize everything. Ugh! Toxic! Thanks for doing what you do and keep it coming.
I absolutely hate how people pointed out that you drive when one of the most criticized things towards the US government is their zoning laws (and how they were influenced by car companies) and that they aren't sustainable. In the Netherlands and maybe even Germany this would be a semi-valid criticism (although very classist), but not towards someone in the US? No. There are entire videos on "Climate Town" and "Not Just Bikes" about this. It's really not that hard y'all. It connects to environmental racism and classism as well. There is a reason Texas is having the social structure it does. I hope more people learn about the impact of zoning on climate and sustainability, because those laws were literally made based on what car companies wanted. Of course they make Americans car-dependent.
Glad you're mentioning your imprefections.. have this idea in my head folk that care about this issue don't ever face 'hiccups' basically. My husband doesn't hold the same values as I and I'm not willing to ruin our relationship over my ideals. I have to accept my household will carry plastic bottled water because my husband loves the taste of it. I can make myself feel better by contacting the company he likes and suggesting they use not virgin plastic and have a non separate cap that can cause issues if disconnected to the bottle.
This! This is why I subscribe to you instead of other people. Your honesty and vulnerability that you share with us is a kindness that most people do not deserve. And yet you still do it. Bravo!
I've heard it said once to the effect that if you claim to be an activist, you're never doing enough because you could always be doing more.
However, Shelbi you ARE DOING BEYOND ENOUGH. I became more conscious of my habits because of you and this channel. I now look at the world through a completely different lens and try to implicate as many eco-friendly actions as I can on a daily basis because of you and this channel. And I am humbled by the privilege of being able to live sustainably because of you and this channel!
You're doing your part, and I'm sorry that some people are trying to make you believe you aren't.
Hi Shelbi. I admire your perseverance in continuing to provide this content even though the nit-pickers have negatively impacted your mental health. You have greatly helped and inspired thousands of individuals to lighten their environmental footprint (you definitely have helped me greatly). You are amazing and beautiful and definitely DO NOT deserve anything but love and praise! Thank you for everything you do for us and for the earth!
People need to understand that living 100% sustainably in this society IS NOT POSSIBLE. We can only do our best with the tools we have, and the rest is up to corporations. As individuals we are simply subject to the means we have, everyone has different needs and abilities, it is simply not realistic to expect everyone to do everything all the time. I would argue that it is better that we do some of it some of the time than to give up because we don't feel like we can do it all. It is psychologically proven that you cannot SHAME people into being better, quite the opposite actually. People get stirred away from being more sustainable when we start gatekeeping. This is not meant to be a fashion but rather a paradigm change. So everyone chill out, be kind, do what you can, lead by example, and like Shelby says: Advocate for the rest.
!!!
The fact that you have to justify any of these things is so ridiculous! People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. If they're not completely perfect they don't have a leg to stand on to say anything!
You have inspired me so much and I appreciate everything you do!
100% love your channel and how honest you are!!!
We love a creator with boundaries
I LOVE boundary setting Shelbi
I love the video and your efforts have always been appreciated and noticed! You bring so much value to the platform as an advocate and spreading digestible awareness of climate change and action. It’s ridiculous people hold others to a standard that they themselves will never meet. Thank you Shelby!
I love your perfectly imperfect ways.
Im shit at boundaries and do not envy your exposure to excessive commentary, i would simply crumble at a small hand full of them.
You had me at vote with your dollars but im happy to watch your journey.
Im so sorry for the struggle you are faced with but also grateful that you stay angry and keep fighting.
You are a super hero. Thank you for being you.
Love ALL of your content! Also you look like an ethereal goddess, love your hair and makeup.
Your quote at the end of your videos chimes in my head everyday. I can do as best I can, but sometimes I can’t and that’s ok and not always my fault. Thank you for being you ❤️
I'm so sorry for what you're going through. I love your channel & what you stand for. Thank you for opening up about all of this
First of all I LOVE how REAL you are. You're channel has changed the way I think about things so much. On the internet everyone has opinions, and there really are people that are just out to spread negativity. In my experience you have to just wade through the B.S. Even some of my mom's opinions I ingnore, so you better believe some random people on the internet can be ignored. Keep living YOUR life girl. No one is perfect nor will they ever be. You have a whole audience that you've inspired and believe me we support you.
Thank you for sharing your perspective! :) I'm a third year medical student, and I chose to become a medical student to address human suffering. A lot of aspects of my life, just because of being a medical student, are fairly unsustainable. Public transit is not an option for me, ignoring the fact that I live in Texas, because being on time is literally a matter of whether or not I keep my job, I cannot risk not being on time. I also have to buy lots of supplies that cannot be purchased secondhand, like my stethoscope, hospital attire (all of my business casual is secondhand but scrubs? Not willing to buy those used), notebooks (tech is iffy because of patient confidentiality), and other things that non-medical students don't think about. Not to mention the process of getting into medical school/residency, which usually means flying all over the country to accept whichever school/job you get offered. Of course I do the best that I can, I eat 100% plant-based, always buy clothing/furniture secondhand, and I try to reduce my impact wherever I can, but I will never be perfect. Other environmentalists pointing it out just makes me feel helpless lol
Thank you so much for sharing this! I sometimes feel guilty for not being more sustainable, but your videos always help me remember it’s the system that needs to change more than me.
I’ve been watching your channel (and Immy’s ;) ) for a while and it’s the ‘imperfections’ that make your videos so relatable. I greatly appreciate your content.
Thank you for this!
You’re doing amazing and don’t let anyone convince you otherwise! I love your content and am very thankful you’ve continued to make it
Thank you for sharing. I have been watching your videos for over a year and actually love this part about you. I can get pretty hard on myself or experience anxiety when the progress in our house to improve sustainability isn't moving as fast as I would like. Watching videos like yours has encouraged me so much and helps me not burnout or give up 🥰
Great topics!
It's such a huge thing to what you do.
Big thanks for talking about these points!
LOVE you & all of your videos! It’s helped me so much in my journey to be more sustainable and help our home planet. Don’t ever let negative / toxic keep you from posting content that is important to you or that you’d like to share & teach us about. I completely agree when you said society almost looks for something to pick at with literally everything these days. It’s not worth it to let it bother you though that’s way easier said than done. Keep being you. You’re beautiful inside and out and I appreciate everything you’re doing for our planet and for those of us trying to learn and also do better.
Love it all! Love your attitude! You are such a huge inspiration by being so honest. ❤️ Love all your videos.
Thank you soo much for being your authentic self! This video is so needed ❤ thank you for not shaming us for where we are in our sustainable journey!
Thank you so much not just for your content bot for being yourself! You are inspiring me 💕
Thanks for the important conversation! You deserve the respect you are giving others, and I appreciate the way you brought this up. Thanks for being real online!!!
Shelbi: You ROCK!
Thank you for all your videos and content! I appreciate when you’re honest because nobody can be perfect in this journey but we just keep doing the best we can. I’m sorry so many people are critical. Just keep doing you because that’s why so many of us love you!
Shebi I want to thank you for inspiring and teaching me how to do better.
I just found you a couple days ago, through recommended videos. I’ve been binging on your content since, and have learned quite a bit. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us, it takes so much time and personal energy to not only research, but to present it as well. I appreciate what you do, and plan on staying around for a while. 💕
Love this! (Love that you're calling this shit out, do not love that this is an issue in the first place) Set boundaries and protect your self. 🖤
I love your channel. I love how genuine and real you are. I learn or get some kind of value from every video. And I’m learning how to be more of an eco minimalist. You are awesome!
I appreciate your sharing all of these things, Shelbi.
You are so amazing!!! I have learned so much from you including self love/grace. Thank you for making videos for us even when you get so much judgment. You are helping make a difference 👏🏽🎉🎊🥰🌎
You do you. I know you have opened my mind more and try to do better. We all are doing our best❤️
you tell em!!!!! love this energy
I've been watching your videos for a few months now and still watching old ones because you have really given me so much more info to be confident in myself to do better in my own eco life ❤️❤️ Thank you!!
Here for ALLLLL your content, Shelbi! Keep doing you and f*** whatever box everyone else tries to put you in 🖤
Your makeup looks gorgeous! 🤩
Hey Shelby! 👋 I'm in love with your content and have been following tou for years. You are doing important work. It's funny, because you can be nearly perfect but there are always people who nit pick the littlest things that you are doing wrong. 😠
I love this side of your channel. This is what I'm fucking here for. I hope creating these response videos aren't stressful cause I always appreciate them.
i’ve been watching your channel for years now and i don’t usually comment but i love what you do! i love your videos, you’re one of the only youtubers who i consistently watch. i don’t have many people in my life who think about sustainability and i think it can be easy to fall off the wagon, but i feel like you always pull me back on. i notice how you always mention that your tech is second hand or that you prefer to buy things second hand wherever possible, and i’ve seen you waiting at the bus stop for hours with Madison in your vlogs. I am hard on myself and I feel like I need to do things perfectly but your content helps me know the things I can do, and to give myself a break for things out of my control. I’m also resolving to comment on more of your videos 😄
Goodness I just love listening to your channel - keep going!
Absolutely. Love that you speak about this! I get this with my Instagram so often and it’s really annoying. No one is perfect, and that goes for any sort of lifestyle!! Thank you. ❤️❤️❤️
It’s sad to be trolled and that people have have nothing else to do than find any little thing you’re not perfect. You’re a fabulous and you’re inspiring ❤️
Shelbi I absolutely love you and your channel
Thank you for everything you do! A lot of times when i’m trying to figure out what product is the most sustainable choice, I look up what you use and just get that. You help me a lot in my daily life!
Shelby- thank you for making this video. It's really unfair that people are this nitpicky with your content. When people are new to low waste/sustainability, you are usually the first person I send them to because of all the reasons you listed. You seem like a real human being! You drive a car! You eat what you want to eat! You live in a house! I have so many friends that see people like me (live in a big city with ample public transit, in a small space, etc) and think they can't make any changes because they can't make the changes I've made. And a lot of sustainability "influencers" live lifestyles even more outwardly perfect than mine. The content you make is honest and genuinely helpful and that's what I share it with so many of my friends.
I enjoy every single video you post and all the knowledge and ideas you share with us. I’ve learned SO much from you and you’ve taught me that sustainability doesn’t have to perfect. I feel really good about all my steps in the right direction and I owe it all to you.
Wow! That's a whole lot! I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. I love your content and promise I'm not looking for things in the background to nit pick about, that's so petty. I love what you stand for. I'm doing what I can with what I have because things you have mentioned resonated with me. Thank you!
