Carrying a beautiful loaf of bread home in a soft cloth sack makes it seem so much more precious than when its in crinkly cellophane.
Absolutely xx
Hi my name is Amaan and I live in south africa.I am 14 and my family isn't really into sustainable living
I get discouraged because I don't have the resources to persue my mission.But your videos inspire me to carry on and I am slowly transitioning to zero waste and becoming a vegan
Yes I can recall living with my parents and going vegan, it tough when family/parents don't support you. Try to show them different documentaries like Cowspiracy, Fork Over Knives, A Plastic Ocean and hopefully that will help a little. xx
That’s fantastic to hear! Thank you for your inspiring comment. Making sustainable changes whilst being surrounded by people not with the same mindset can be challenging but so important to spark that conversation and make an important impact on others. Keep inspiring!
Keep going I'm in the same situation but I'm 13 , good luck I guess lol!!!!
Amaan, where in SA do you live because in CPT there is a few resources around there
Don't give up! When I first went veg my family was so negative towards me. I was discouraged, made fun of, ridiculed etc. Now, a little less than four years later four out of six of my family members are plant-based and living more sustainable in so many other ways and even my grandparents ended up going vegetarian. I'm grateful for my situation and I know everyone doesn't always have that outcome but all I can say is keep going and people will learn from you.
little fact: take the single bananas because they're more likely to be tossed out since most people only buy bunches :)
Good tip!
And buy the overly ripe ones and use them quickly or freeze them.
@@Prancer1231 what for?
@@Framlii I assume bc those would be thrown away soon if not bought, buying them would reduce food waste🤗
I love that someone else does this! I coach girls' flag football and my girls noticed their bananas were never together and I explained why. A couple get it that way now :)
I love that you acknowledge that a sustainable lifestyle isn't about perfection, but rather about trying our best with whatever we have access to. It's easy to get disheartened when there are so many social issues to be mindful of. But if we can be realistic and know that we're doing the best that we can wherever we are, that's what matters most.
martinadoom yes I love this message too ❤️❤️
yes
I always buy tofu at my local asian supermarket where I can get it without packaging. They have a huge bucket with lots of tofu blocks they make fresh and if you bring your own container you can buy them without plastic 😊
lisamichalsky is that all Asian markets?
I wish that was an option at the Asian markets near me
And you can buy more of it and then freeze it at home. I defrost when I need some for a recipe and it's just as good as fresh :)
Where is this? I was looking for something like this. I only found Biona organic selling tofu in jars, which is better then plastic packaging
instead of buying nut butters in plastic you can make them at home! just buy some peanuts, almonds, or any other type of nut and blend it in the blender. they usually don’t need oil and you can add flavorings if you want to.
My mom used to buy tofu from an asian market. They sold multiple blocks in a big tin. I haven't seen it sold in a tin since the 90's. It's crazy how much more packaging has been added in the last 10, 20, 30 years.
When she said “there’s nothing wrong with them, they’re just unique.” I felt that shit. 🤙🏼
☺️ aren’t we all.
If you have a vitamix or other high power blender you should try making your own peanut butter. It’s so much cheaper. It comes out to less than $2 per jar!
Great tip!
WoW how much a lb do you pay for peanuts? Wht is your recipi?
Please make a video on what palm oil is, what are its impacts, where they are commonly found and how to avoid it!
Basically if you consume any processed foods (vegan or non vegan) there's a chance it will contain palm oil so avoid it by consuming a vegan whole plants foods based diet.
@FollowRighteousnessNotMe. Ftw Most vegan foods these days are substituted with vitamin B12 so try it again :) Im vegan and i have more energy than I've ever had, i also used to be anaemic and I'm not anymore since being vegan at the beginning of this year :)
Edit* not most, but a lot. =)
buy bulk and learn to cook.
Palm oil is avoided by many because they also treat their food workers very unfairly. I heard to be careful of Nutella (besides have a crazy amount of sugar), may contain palm oil
Consider placing the unused spice in a temporary jar at home then putting it back on top when you get home, so your spices stay fresh.
Instead of buying the tins of coconut milk, I'd highly recommend buying the jars of Lucy bee's creamed coconut. It may seem expensive but if I remember correctly, after adding water, you can make about 5l of tinned coconut milk from that or ever more if you wanted to make the drinking kind of coconut milk. Then once you're done, you'll be able to use the jar to store something 🙂
We have here in Switzerland lots of frozen fruits and veggies in cardboard packaging 🙂
Unfortunately in Australia, the frozen stuff comes in plastic 😫
In Germany as well :) I always try to opt for that.
Jealous... haven’t found that in England :(
We used to in the USA but I don't see them anymore. Everything is in plastic.
@@00000materialization idk if you mean it is in plastic or not but look in lidl
Try making your own tahini,... It is literally just sesame seeds, which can be bought in bulk, and a small amount of olive oil...blend or run thru a coffee grinder...
Hi, am a 17 year old from New Zealand. My country is such a clean beautiful country, and I want to do my part to keep it that way. Zero waste seems incredibly daunting, like you said, because of this linear enconomey that we live in. I really appreciate seeing a realistic view of zero waste living, and this inspires me to keep striving to live a sustainable life. :) xxxx
Love seeing zero waste people who don't beat themselves up for making a mistake or not being perfect. Well done!
It would be really helpful if you could do a video on the best way to properly store non-packaged foods.
Thank you for teaching me through yr life. It may be common sense to those practising but not to many that are just starting out. Thank you for making this video.
I love that you emphasize that no one is perfect and it is really difficult to live completely zero waste but as long as you are doing your best and always looking for better options, you ARE helping the planet!
I find buying local (locally grown) and SEASONAL helps dramatically at cutting down on waste ,,,but then I live in the north of the country where the phrase 'more brass than sense' is commonly used
Loved seeing what you eat and cook. Recipes and discuss what you buy and what for will be inspiring.
Lovely video! So important to remind ourselves that not being 100% perfect is okay... but striving for constant improvement is the important part!
Making peanut butter from scratch at home in a blender is actually really simple. And there's loads of fun recipes (or just peanuts). I just made flax seed, chia seed, pumpkin seed butter (with olive oil and some sea salt).
The possibilities are endless and these ingredients were all bulk foods so no plastic at all.
I enjoy your. Videos and believe sustainable living is so important
Yummm. This sounds so delicious! I must try it out more! Thank you for your comment.
Pumpkin seed butter sounds amazing. I'm imagining it on toast and it tasting fantastic.
@Maroxa’s Choices with homemade peanut butter I have never faced any problem. You have to roast the peanuts first if you really want the peanut flavor. After making the butter in the food processor, I just keep it in a glass jar with a tight lid and I don't need to keep it in the fridge. My jar lasts me about 3 months I'd say. And I live in India so we have quiet hot temperatures. You only might need to run a spoon in the jar before using it if the oil separated...
You can do the same with sesame seed to get Tahini 🙂
Thank you so much for this.We must treat our Planet with Respect and Love❤
This is so relaxing and helpful! Loved seeing how you were able to buy loose/bulk in today's "encased in plastic" world.
Just a tip after you expressed looking for a solution with nut butters. You can make your own nut butters at home by buying nuts from bulk stores and then blend them in a Ninja or Vitamix. Its super yummy!
Thank you for this video. It has really inspired me to start living with less waste. Very helpful to see you do your shop and what you find difficult to by without waste. I haven’t seen you before, but will keep watching. I like that you are being honest about not always getting it 100% perfect. You are not patronising or berating people if they can’t get it 100% and you recognise it is not always easy. Keep up the good work!
Such a great video! I could watch zero waste shopping all day! I find it so interesting to see different shops from different countries.
loved this video! I’m trying to decrease my family’s impact and shop more sustainably, so it’s great to see an approach that’s realistic.
Field Fare sell loose frozen fruit and veg in UK Farm shops. They have a store locator on their website. 😎
In Germany you can find unpackaged tofu in some asian supermarkets. They store bigger blocks of tofu in a plastic container filled with water and you can tell the staff how much you need and they cut it for you. They normally then put your slice of tofu in a plastic bag but if you bring like a glass container/tupperware with you, you can skip the little plastic bag and they place it directly in your box. I found a shop that does so but others have them already pre-packaged. Maybe you have an asian supermarket to check out. :)
This is so cool!
"Theres nothing wrong with these items, they're just unique" ❤ love that
My favorite part of buying things in glass is re-using the jars for storing items I buy from bulk bins, like rice etc etc
I'd be really curious to know how much this costs versus a plastic packaged version, :)
Yes this would be interesting, I've been striving to cut down on my plastic as well but half of the stuff I get comes in plastic, strawberries, blueberries, a lot of frozen fruit for smoothies. Its hard.
I agree! It intensely annoys me when supermarkets (yes, Sainsbury's, you know you do it) have an end display full of special offer fruit and vegetables and almost all of the items are in pointless plastic packaging!
Zoë Georgia yes I would too. I try and shop plastic free once a month because it’s always a lot more expensive. I have a tight budget for a family of four so I often find myself in Aldi because I can’t afford plastic free every week which is a real shame xx
Great suggestion! My shops are definitely cheaper this way, but would be great to detail that in a future video.
I have had a really hard time with this being a college student working on barely above minimum wage. Then, on top of that I live in the U.S. mid-west, away from a large city, so it is very expensive and hard to find zero waste products. Sometimes, it can be very discouraging, but we get by with what we can do with what we have and I think that's really important to remember!
Hi Blue we really enjoyed your video thank you for taking us along and showing us how to choose sustainable food products.
Just found your channel and subbed! Great vid. I have a tip for the Olives. I used to love buying all the fancy olives in those plastic tubs in oil and herbs etc & now that I shop more consiously, I buy the jars of olives like you have. What I then do it make my own fancy olives with the ones from the jar. So I put some in a container and put in some oil, garlic powder/dry spices or fresh basil from windowseal herbs, some salt and pepper and you have your own zero waste fancy olives. Its a game changer!
There is a farm shop near me in West Yorkshire that sells frozen fruit loose, you just scoop into your containers straight from the freezer - it's amazing and really doesn't impact on taste. It's about 12p more expensive per 100g.
yeah that's the odd thing... bulk buying shouldn't be more expensive for the same item... they save the packaging but still turn up the price
I live in a small city in Brazil so it's hard sometimes to find unpackaged things that I need (rice, beens, etc) but one thing that I do recommend is buying seasonally and locally!! It's so important and, well, I bet that England doesn't have that many orange trees for example, so for you to be consuming them there, there's a big big chance that they've been shipped there (probably from here!) and that is very wasteful as well. Maybe consult your supermarket for foods that are grown there or in other parts of Europe, which are easier/less wasteful to be taken to England than Brazilian oranges, Indian tea and other stuff like that.
I’m currently using up all my packaged beauty and cleaners , so I can then switch to solids and refillables, and even though I’m still using plastic , it feels so good as I know I’m doing it for a good outcome , I can’t wait to switch it’s going to feel fantastic !
I have wanted to become zero waste with food but you have opened my eyes to be very aware of the packaging also. I don’t know why this hasn’t crossed my mind because it’s so obvious that we should be doing this. Thank you so much for the tips and the advice to give your self some grace when things don’t always work out the way you hoped it would.
The things that are now obvious to us weren’t always obvious to us and the things we think are obvious are not to other people. That’s why talking and sharing ideas is great!
I love learning more about zero waste grocery shopping! For Dutch people out there: yesterday I received my first order from Puurberzorgd! It's an online bulk store that delivers straight to your kitchen. Good tip because there aren't that many option yet in the Netherlands as far as I know...
Thanks for the tip, but it seems they only deliver in Rotterdam at the moment. 😭
@@kristimmerman732 True, forgot to mention that :( where are you from?
@@whoisappie Steenwijk, so I do not think they will deliver here anytime soon. But maybe, one day.. 😀
Very good video, I live in London and its sooooo overwhelming to see the food packaging waste everywhere
I’m thankful that you openly show us the things you buy that aren’t plastic free. The reality is that that lifestyle just isn’t always attainable, the point is to create less plastic! It’s refreshing and encouraging to see that every bit helps, thank you 🙏
A great video, Blue 👌 It was helpful to hear your thought processes. Would enjoy seeing more from other shops. Thanks
Thankfully here in Germany a lot of frozen fruit comes in cardboard boxes, especially the organic varieties. And some beans and other legumes you can usually find in glass jars. In Spain it was even better, they had nearly every variety of beans, corn, asparagus etc in huge glass jars.
Edit: I just realized that you can also get tofu and tempeh in glass jars here. It’s great.
mel mel Most of the cardboard boxes are lined with plastic in my experience. Can you recommend a german brand/ supermarket that has good packaging for frozen fruit? And do you mean tofu and tempeh in germany or spain? Either way, can you tell me where? 😂🙈
Biona brand in jars is available in the UK, but will depend where you live.
Chinese supermarkets sell huge containers of tofu cheap and I cut up and freeze x
Tracey P does tofu freeze ell? How do you thaw?
Shannon Jones overnight on the fridge. a little firmer, but still good!
I have been discouraged lately that's so much for the motivation!!!! Much love from Dallas texas!!!
I like that you talk a bit about not beating yourself up for the packaging you bring into the home! Like, see how much less plastic you produce now, compared to the "normal way of life"! Thats great :D
It's all about consistent improvement.
Wonderful video! I would love to see an online shop. I haven’t seen many of those.
You can get olive oil in large tins that you can decant into a glass bottle.
Definitely appreciate content like this. Thank you so much
That bulk store is so gorgeous!
I really appreciate the message you included at the end around not feeling guilty for having limited access to zero waste options. I think the social media-induced guilt is very real for a lot of people and the truth is that buying in bulk is becoming trendier and trendier and, as a result, can exclude certain groups. You provided great tips about how to create a circular economy in the midst of a linear system.
For me, I have access to these options and means to take advantage of them. This video was a great reminder to take the extra time and spend a little extra money in some instances to do my part for the planet.
Thank you!
This is such an important topic for me. There's so much stigma around living 'zero-waste' as the name alone can be very misleading. In order to move forwards sustainably and towards a world I know I want to be part of we need to cultivate compassion, ease, mindfulness and understanding. It's going to take self-reflection and empathy with others but that's a beautiful thing. We must acknowledge that we don't all have the same amenities and we don't all start from the same point. But we can all help each other grow and do better. That's always true. Thank you for your thoughtful comment.
Thank you so much!!!
Very very very helpful!
Hi Blue, Thanks for this insight
into your shopping habits. Great
and useful tips. Luckily in Switzerland, there is no need to
buy frozen or much packaged food. I am also trying to live
plastic free, as far as is possible.
In winter fresh berries or fruit is
frightfully expensive. But food
is my priority so I just pay. Swiss
dentists are against tooth powders or homemade toothpaste. Mine informed me
to consider what will ones teeth
looks like in say their late 60's and
older. So this is a very open question to me. Enjoyed this
video and would love a follow
up whenever. All the best.
This is the only kind of haul we should be doing. Thank you.
Freaking awesome! We love zero waste hacks. Keep it up and sending you love!
if you have a food processor it's actually really easy to make your own peanut butter! it's way cheaper than buying in the supermarket and you can probably find loose peanuts near you 😊
Thank you! I’ve been meaning to make more of my own.
In Germnay, we have frozen fruit in cardboard boxes rather than loose. Maybe you can try searching for the ones in cardboard:)
I can’t wait for the U.K. to implement something like that! It must be soon.
this is SO helpful!!! We live on a sailboat, sailing around the world and I continue to strive for a waste free galley. Cheers ~
You're making a change. You're awesome! Thank you for doing this. 🌱
Lots of love ❤
Thank you. We can all make small changes that add up to a larger global change!
Remember what it was like to shop without a mask and being able to actually touch items in shops?? 😫
Nut butters (peanut butter, hazelnut butter etc) can be purchased in bulk in specialist wholefoods bulk stores in Australia.
But to avoid nut butters in plastic jars, I just buy peanuts from bulk stores & blitz it in my food processor & put it in my own glass jar.
@Maroxa’s Choices You keep saying that, but why would you have to refrigerate it? Maybe you could make a smaller amount that you could use up before it spoils?
This is really inspiring. Thank you for sharing!
Great video! Thanks for the tips, really helpfull to bid my conférence about zero waste.
I think frozen fruit in some supermarkets come in cardboard boxes. In Germany is that the case so maybe look in lidl or aldi or something
In Portugal too.
Definitely not the case here in the UK unfortunately. In Aldi here it is plastic. Haven’t seen cardboard packages here.
@@CharlotteEverett that's a pity!
Sofie W Yeah it sucks!
It‘s lined with plastic - so it‘s even worse because it can‘t be recycled :(
Ich arbeite mit Papier: Reiß so eine Packung auf und guck dir die Rissspuren an, das ist kein reines Papier - leider - und es gehört in den Restmüll.
I live in alaska and there is zero glass recycling here. 😭 I have boxes of glass containers I dont wanna through away I dont know what to do
I love using glass containers for storage, vases and refrigerating leftovers. Perhaps you could also campaign for better recycling systems.
So many craft ideas as well! Great for pickling/vinegars/ect
So satisfying to see you scoop the spices!
Maybe you have a foodprocessor? Make your own peanutbutter! I am sure you have a glass jar at home to store it in xx
Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to use some when shopping next time!
Make tahini in a blender. So easy and so much cheaper.
Emily B it seems to me the hardest part is getting all the tahini out of the blender and then trying not to use too much water washing the sticky stuff off the sides and bottom of the blender - this puts me off making tahini and nut butters - any suggestions?
It is good to know though you aren't perfect either :)
So helpful!! It’s nice to find a video with practical tips :)
these simple tips are an easy way to try and start to live. thank you
I live in the southern US and it's not very sustainable. But improving.
We can all do what’s available to us whilst campaigning for better systems around us.
One tip for tofu that is available in my area - Portland, Oregon - is to buy it directly from a tofu producer. Mine lets customers bring their own container. Unfortunately, their hours aren't the greatest, so a bunch of folks got together and organized a tofu delivery share. Pretty exciting!
Oh how i loved this video so much! And I know I’m late but I kept telling myself “I know that kitchen from somewhere” 😂 amazing
Thank you for being honest about the fact that we live in a linear economy and that being perfect isn't always possible when you're trying to nourish yourself. No questions just encouragement, keep doing what you do because being honest, forthright, and open about your struggles and your success will help us all!
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. I'm always here to share my entire journey with you, not just the 'pretty' bits.
I'm trying to become more sustainable so this is very helpful. I've already changed over a lot of things to paper, glass and metal packaging but finding vegetables loose is a problem where I live. I do try to re-use any larger plastic pots I get for storage. Also small metal topped jars are good for storing nails, screws, etc. in the shed as you can attach them to the bottom of you shelves, see the contents easily and save on space.
I really love the mention on tetra packaging, just looked it up and am less confused on what can and cannot be recycled, also never thought of it being in a can so that’s great!
For the tofu I could recommend you, to go to an Asian supermarket, I'm from Germany and in the Asian shop we go to, they do sell firm tofu in a large container, so you can get as much tofu blocks as you need and pack them either in the container brought with you or use the plastic wrap they provide. Btw loved your video :) so many great tips.
This was beautiful. Thank you I’m ready to start my zero waste journey.
Hi everyone! I work as a cashier and just a tip instead of printing out labels for produce and bulk foods write them down in your notes on your phone:) It makes it easier for the cashier and for you! Love the video thank you❤️
Thank you! This is so helpful. I'm about to start college and am going to try to start a new lifestyle too :)
You have absolutely changed the way that I’m going to shop in the future. Thank you.
Ahh, amazing!
In US Asian grocers, I can find loose tofu. I think most mid-sized cities have a couple, but you’ll have to look for it. The bigger the market, the better. The smaller ones will likely only carry packaged, like in the video.
The tofu is usually stored in a big tub full of water, and they provide tongs. I just bring an air-tight container or reuse a plastic bag.
Love what you are doing!
Great video! I don't ever buy anything online, and me and my mom (I'm 16 and live at home) do everything by bike or train and stuff (we don't have a car). There has just opened a bulk store not that far away from where I live and we're considering making that our main store to shop and thanks to you I'm not that scared to go there anymore as a 'beginner'😊
This is excellent!
That’s wonderful! So glad to hear you have a conscious and supportive system around you.
You could cook your own chickpeas (easy to do) and eliminate the tins. And coconut milk is simple to make -- all you need is desiccated coconut, hot water, a blender and a nut bag (though I use a Japanese filter bag.). Peanut butter also easy to make.
Thank you, this is really helpful. I've been trying to become more eco friendly for a while now but only recently learnt that I've still been making so many mistakes. One of the things I struggle with the most is plastic packaging, but I'm gradually getting there. I really wish supermarkets would stop using so much unnecessary plastic
I love what you said about the produce and buying the awkward and bruised pieces. It's so true there is nothing wrong with it. It's just different and I sure would hate it to go in the waste bin. Thanks for this wonderful video. I just began my journey of less waste and have been vegetarian for 3 weeks. Hoping to be vegan in the next 2 weeks! 🍄🍄
Thank you for your feedback. Congratulations on your journey to more intentional and compassionate living. If ever you need help and suggestions, be sure to hit me up.
how sooothing xx! so inspiring! always trying to work towards zero waste
This video was really great, I loved how you showed sometimes you have to choose between what you want in the short term and what you want to achieve. One thing to note when you are talking about how fresh fruit comes in plastic, most of the time the plastic bin it comes in is recyclable (at least where I live in the U.S.), where as soft plastics like the bags are not. On a note not related to packaging is to look and see how far away thing are coming from, if you choose things coming from places nearest to you the freshness is increased and the amount of carbon emissions through transportation are lessened.
This is a perfect example of honoring the adage "don't let perfect be the enemy of good". Great job 👍
Yes!
At my home we always make our lasagne sheets at home. It is a time cinsuming process, but it is so worth it. They taste better and you can freeze them to keep them fresh
Thank you for this video it was really helpful and encouraging xx
Really enjoyed this helpful video Blue thank you. 👏 I loved the bulk store you shopped in am so envious of it. 💖 My bug bear is that none of the main supermarkets sell Organic produce loose not even the bananas. Like you I will always chose the wonky veg or individual bananas I just don't get why people want perfection all the time when I grow my own fruit & veg I work hard doing it and wouldn't think gosh this cucumber, potato etc looks odd I will throw it away! I didn't know that fact about cans versus tetrapacks so have learnt something today. It is getting harder and harder to buy oil in glass bottles one of my favourites is the Tesco Organic Olive oil that still comes in glass and is reasonably priced. Your bread looked delicious, I bought a bread maker a few years ago and am grateful that the ingredients for it are easily recycled, oh the joy of waking up to freshly cooked bread!🤩 Like you I too have large quantities of Spices in my kitchen and have 2 Masala Dabba tins for the most popular spices I use. Luckily not too far from me is an Indian supermarket and they are way cheaper than supermarkets for such items and also most of the fruit & veg are loose, also the staff are so helpful and knowledgeable about the Indian fruit & veg on sale there and are happy to tell you how to prepare and use them and will give you recipie cards they have written out to help you remember when you get back home. The Year before last on holidays in India we visited an Indian Organic Spice farm oh my word my suitcase was bulging with them and the taste was like nothing I had used before!🤩💖 Yes please to more of these videos Blue and I hope your viewers leave their hints and tips in the comments as well. . 😘X
I love that you grab the funky looking produce. I'm too OCD about everything being perfect so I have to grab the best looking product but I appreciate you taking the imperfect ones
I'm sorry you suffer with OCD, I know it's a debilitating illness that takes over your life. I hope you are receiving help and have support around you.
My husband and I just started making our own peanut butter in a food processor and with a bit of honey from our local orchard. It's amazing! This Christmas I want to make nut butters for gifts. You are precious!
That’s a great idea (minus the honey which I would steer clear of!).
ugh that brinjal pickle is SO good!
Great tips 👍☺️ I usually try to go plastic free. I'm a plant person as well, so tubs like the peanut butter size, i make holes and use them as plant pots. When we don't have an alternative option for plastic, make alternative use instead of disposing ☺️
Great tip! Yes, I always try to repurpose the plastic I do still consume.
Beautiful haul. ❤
