I think we should turn minimalist and lead simple living. Watch what you buy and only buy if you cannot live with our it. I now realize why Gandhi is also called mahatma.
Metal, if it don’t rust and break down, stays around forever. I see a lot of the tuff plastic bottles, metal, and glass, even things like blanket material. O ya also carpet threads.
Just posted a CRAZY HIKE on my channel.. check it out!! Thanks.
You should probably not say that vegan leather products are “not worth it,” surely they are worth the life of the animal who has to suffer to be turned into shoes. There are definitely high quality vegan leathers out there, at prices you would find for shoes made of animal skin, and some are cheaper, although I’d agree there’s room for more innovation. In the mean time though, it’s definitely not worth it to kill animals for clothing, but that doesn’t mean leather is not an eco-friendly product either. There are also other materials to use for shoes, wallets, and belts.
Woow. Great! All the necessary equipment for us while we are recording video content for our YouTube channel! Thanks for that!
Love this, nice day for filming!
Some cool brands doing interesting things there, thanks for sharing
Hi, I love your channel. Can you do a video on things you don’t buy anymore. Eco friendly version.
I make my shopping bags out of pillowcases I find dumpster diving or thrifting; especially the cute and colorful cartoon ones.
I put a pillowcase on each side so it’s reversible and interface them with fabrics I find dumpster diving. I patch them as they wear a hole which adds to their charm, I think. People ask me to make them for them and I suggest they give me their kids old sheets or clothes to make them. You can line the with old stained denim for strength too; denim is great to put in the handles as well if you don’t reuse webbing straps or some such. I rarely throw any bits of fabric or yarn away, I’ll find a way to reuse it!
Honestly I’ve never had a pair of ‘vegan leather’ (plastic) boots last as well as my leather ones. A pair of plastic boots lasts me less than a year, wearing them until they break beyond repair. My leather ones are well into their sixth year and still look like new when polished. They have years left in them yet.
Sometimes the animal-free option isn’t the more sustainable one. And at the end of their lifecycle, plastic is going to be more of a problem than leather too.
Wow I have the same Ospreynbackpack mine is a Kestril 38!!!!
Good products. I need a new Thermarest and I like those Vasque Breeze hiking Boots!
I have cleaned out my closet and I think I am going to repurpose the fast fashion shirts into reusable shopping bags instead.
This is awesome! My channel is all about sustainability, so I love to see products that promote an eco friendly lifestyle:) thanks for sharing!
So it’s clearly been a while since you posted this video and hopefully you know this already, but in case you didn’t. Seventh Generation is a company owned by Unilever. Unilever is the parent company of brands like Dove, Vaseline, Simple, Axe, Suave etc. Which are not cruelty free brands. Also Unilever is said to be one of the most wasteful companies of the world. They starting doing something good with Seventh Generation but then again all those brands I mentioned before don’t actually do anything to help our planet, instead contribute to the problems we are facing now
This video is gold! Thank you for sharing. We should all do the shift on being more eco friendly…
Leather made from cow skin is also very toxic to the environment, so while plastic synthetic leather is not the best either, we can’t give cow skin a pass either it is skin, it is meant to decay, and the only way to keep it from decaying is to treat it with toxic chemicals. It creates so much waste in the waterways of India and it is such horrific work for the people who have to do it. Here is more info: https://pulitzercenter.org/reporting/india-toxic-tanneries
Do not buy seventh generation IT IS IWNED BY A COMPANY THAT CREATES 50% of americas plastic waste
Liked the video! Just one thing..Lush might have more products without containers, but the ingredients are far from being all clean or natural, so they still impact negatively the environment!
I think that the shopping bags are a good idea, but as you said, not quite as sustainable. So if you’re any good at sewing, try making one from an old T-shirt! It might not last as long, however you’ve already upcycled something and stretching out the use. Tehran must be tutorials not eh internet so give it a go! You’ve also saved money!
Loved the video!! But it would’ve been very helpfull to have a list(pos. Links) of all the Websites
There are only two things that can detox your body: your liver and your kidneys (that would technically make it three things for most of us:P). Everything else is a scam.
Excellent Video……… Please stop using plastic trash bags!! there is often no reason to. With the exception of a few light things that might blow away in the wind,, most trash is heavy enough to fall directly into the garbage cart. Likewise, with food waste, don’t use plastic of any sort., just dump it into the yard waste bin, and when possible mix it up with some yard waste. Simply rinse out the kitchen bin after use to keep it smelling fresh. When Shopping, patronize the stores that sell bulk foods. Take your own Glass or alternative containers with you and get them weighed to work out the tare weight. Encourage all stores to promote this way of selling. Try and avoid packaged foods where possible, Encourage your local store to increase the variety of bulk items. Avoid “paper milk and food cartons where possible. They are mostly not recyclable. Tetra packs, cannot be recycled easily almost anywhere. Stop buying those products. Insist on products only being sold in commonly re-cyclable packaging better still try and buy mostly bulk. Make Retailers think about the waste they are complicit in creating. Take the first steps ourselves, let us stop being lazy, think about the planet with every purchase we make.
hoarding choping bags is not eco friendly. hoarding anything is ecofriendly. one or two bags for many years, not collection of them and buying new one
StayHome Your Videos are way underrated, they are the best! You asked for our favorite gadgets mine is th bottle, I think.

How did you get the kit with the caddy from Grove? It seems to say it only ships to the US?
7th generation is actually not that good of a company it is not eco friendly it is green washing
If you want a diamond you could always check out the crater of diamonds in Arkansas. It is a national park and is not commercially mined. It is the only place in the world the public can dig for diamonds.
Reusable straws are very convenient and easy to carry around! I like to have iced coffee/tea/juice, but using a new straw every time is such a waste and harmful to the environment. I have used reusable straws for nearly a year now they’re great and affordable! All that I need to do is wash them when I get home, and then they’re ready to be used again.
I think the point of a cotton bag being better than plastic is that they won’t break down into an irreversible micro plastic problem.
Hello such a lovely video!
We here at pickjute provide amazing jute products!
check out http://www.pickjute.com or visi @pickjute
Thank you for this video!!! I work at a large retailer that stocks so many of these products, and I get so disillusioned by the fact that we sell THOUSANDS of reusable bags with designs on them, but I get maybe a handful of individual customers who bother to ever bring them back for future shopping. Literally less than 2-3 per month. We’ve also started selling SO MANY metal straws in (you guessed it) plastic packaging. Our local thrift store already has a glass FULL of metal straws on the counter.
I really like Mat & Nat vegan leather alternatives. I have had some pieces from them made from recycled plastic bottles. I have a wallet going on 10 years now, durable and fashionable.
Waoo!!! I loved what you shared, especially about eco products. I will combine it with this products ( @t ) to improve the results.
I loved this video! So honest and educational, espeically for some one like me who is on a budget but wants to be more eco-friendly! I would love to show some support for yor channel, I just started my channel about a year ago and want to start doing shoutouts for youtube channels that I love so we can all support eachother<3
Hi everyone. I want to live green life somewhere in south Asia like Vietnam or southern China for personal reason. I am Canadian citizen and 60 next year. Green life has been my lifelong dream and I believe now is the final chance to try and live. Not expecting big busy business. Only bread and butter affordable enough and making some friends in same fields carry on some social activities like that. This corona virus cease to my secular living -working is, to me, such a nice, heaven-given chance. I am free from work and now really starting to find the way of my real dream. In terms of possession, 6 grant in the bank saving and monthly government support for some coming months is all I have. Nothing else. But I believe ‘where there is will, there always way. I will search more diligently to find possible work chance, item, hopefully find some people in that area in the same life style or business. I will also delve into you guys website and see what I can get from there.
Any advice, idea, help from anyone reading my story are wholeheartedly welcome and appreciating. Thanks
here in brazil we have the fruta bucha (sponge fruit i think) its a fruit, that when propperly rotten gives you a “bucha” thats a sponge just like the animal one, its vegan lol and VERY cheap, i mean its a vine vegetable that grows A LOT of these sponges and a lot of older people use it, and ita got kinda trendy here
I’m not sure about the biodegradable trash bags you have but the ones I get in Australia, if I leave it too long before taking out the garbage and there’s something wet in there, they often have already started disintegrating! So they do biodegrade when they go to the landfill that’s not saying that they’re good for the environment but it’s better than normal plastic bags that will be there for years
Hi i am from india want to start packeging business which is eco friendly do you have some ideas regarding that…thanks
A lot of people buy these things when not needed because they want to APPEAR green “conspicuous consumption” in Economics, or “conspicuous conservation” if we’re specifically talking about green goods. This is the concept that people do not buy an item just because they want to BE green, LIVE green, but they want other people to notice them doing it. If you are responsibly using old plastic items instead of purchasing new green things, your green lifestyle is less noticeable to others. I think truly green living advocates need to address this consumerist tendency, deeper thinking about impacts, as you and some other Youtubers are doing. Thanks!
sometimes, I see really adorable reusable bags, but I manage to resist and think. I should continue using the ones I already have. I’ll go ahead and replace it when it gives up on me.
When it comes to sustainable technology there is a brand called “fair phone”, which allows you to take it apart yourself and replace the pieces individually:)
Really interesting; there os definetely a lot of green washing nowadays
If you don’t want to buy vegan leather, just don’t buy leather at all. Even if these products aren’t as sustainable, I’d rather have it than real leather.
When it comes to detox products I highly recommend kidneys and a liver. I got mine for free and they work so well, even after 23 years of continuous use!
For anyone looking to buy a sustainable new phone, I recommend checking out Fairphone.

I have one of these baguette bags mentioned but I also buy a fresh baguette every 1-2 days, depending on how quick I consume it. I‘ve had the bag for 1 year now and I use it everyday and I‘ll keep using it till it falls apart, I really love it because in the past I‘d have a plastic bag every morning for my baguette
Sponges from the luffa gourd are a great alternative to sea sponges?
2:47 my university used “compostable” plates at some of the dining options, but on the plate itself it said it was only compostable in an industrial facility. Plus there was no where to put the plate besides the trash. I’m fully convinced that the University only bought those type of plates so that they could claim they were making environmentally friendly choices, even though the plates were all ending up in the landfill. It would look good on paper, but there was no actual waste reduction happening.
Really enjoyed your video:) 100% agree about the vinegar and baking soda. Another thing well-meaning people do which I believe is more of a problem than a solution, is deciding to become completely “plastic-free” but in the process creating more waste by replacing perfectly good plastic products they already own just to have one that’s made from a different material.
Love this video and how you talk.
You challenge for more ideas:
Gourmet mushroom cultivation
Greenhousemini greens, sprouts, herbs for cafes and restaurants

Native tree nursery
Love listening to what you are saying. But at 2.02 into you taking did anyone pick up the creepy spider legs behind her shoulder.
Hi. Your video is thought provoking. We are trying to do our small part and hope that making a start with sustainable products helps us and others. It is difficult finding products from bamboo sources in the real world of business, but we are trying to do our part. We don’t think everyone can be perfect, but a start is good. We don’t all share every opinion on how to live, but a small step in a sustainable way helps. Thanks for a video that helps to shape positive thinking in this area.
Check out this eco-friendly courier parcel innovation! @yExE
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Most of the info new to me. Found it very valuable. Thank you.
Brittany Marie you should add those reusable stainless steel straws from sunnystraw.com to a part 2 video!!
I prefer buying trash bags made of recycled plastic rather than “biodegradable” trash bags for the reasons you stated.
I do also use a sandwich tupperware to bring my sandwiches to work. They may have a bigger carbon footprint than ziploc bags, but they have a much smaller garbage footprint, if that makes sense. One of my main concerns is single-use plastics, especially since I live in a beach city and my garbage is much more likely to wind up in the ocean than some people. And, hopefully, they will last long enough to eventually have paid off in terms of carbon footprint as well.:)
I think straws are silly, who came up with the idea of sucking liquids through long narrow holes anyway? Reuseable straws are just as silly, though I admit I have a few.
Plastic bags can break down into tiny pieces, but the pieces remain. They go down our rivers into the ocean where
sea creatures and birds eat them. Whales, fish, birds, seals have been found dead with lots of plastic in their stomachs.
Read the book “The Plastic Ocean” for an awakening.
Yeah, but why would you use a sea sponge when you can use the natural ones that are dried out gourds? Way more sust option.
Eco-friendly products from amazon? What about transportation?
Is it eco-friendly if it comes from Asia or some where else?
Buy local!
I only use biodegradable bin bags for food waste, and we get them cheaply from the company that collect the waste. For paper, we don’t need any bags at all, and the same goes for cans and glass — we just throw the paper/cans/jars/bottles into the correct wheelie bin and make sure it’s by the kerf on collection day.
Okay guys! If you need a new pair of sunglasses check out Vira Sun. The sunglasses are made of old skateboards. The sunglasses float in water so you won’t lose them and they are very sturdy. The company will also send you new lenses if they ever break or get scratched!
don’t replace things that work just fine. you don’t have to stop wearing your good leather shoes and buy new fake leather shoes because you’re vegan now. that’s counterproductive.
always check with ewg when it comes to cleaning products etc!
Another thing is you don’t have to buy anything new at all, you can always repurpose something you already have or DIY something. I know people who have 10 reusable bags for no good reason. But even if you have 0, you can always make one out of an old t-shirt you no longer wear before buying a brand new one, or maybe you have an old pencil case that is the perfect size as an utensil bag. Or may be you can just get a sleeve for your jam jar and urn that into a travel mug instead of buying a new coffee mug. There are so many solutions that doesn’t involves buying new products. The only eco product I bought new is my menstrual cup.
For example, I needed (more like wanted tbh) a few straw bags for reusable straws. I want to be able to put my dirty straw in one bag and throw it in the wash the moment I got home, and put the cleaned straw into another one for the next day. Of course, it would be totally a waste of money and un-environmentally friendly to buy like 10 straw bags for something so trivial. So I sewed a bunch with scrap fabric from old bedsheets that were torn up from use. And I’m going to make some utensil bags with the rest of the scraps, so I can carry utensils we already have in the kitchen on the go (opposed to buying a new set of bamboo ones), and throw the bag into the was after every use to maximise convenience.:)Are my brand new shiny straw bags with cute patterns on them really that necessary? Not really. But their environmental impact adds up to exactly 0. And on top of that I avoided throwing a bedsheet into the landfill. So I am completely okay with that.
Same with buying second hand. Another example, I needed to produce bags, so I went to a thrift store and found a piece of mesh fabric and made like 16 out of that. I use yarns I already have at home for the drawstring and there we go, produce bag that is much less wasteful and much cheaper than a new one from an eco-company.
The point is, you can have “new” things without contributing anything to waste or carbon emission if you just take something from the waste stream. That’s so important so I don’t understand why so many people go and waste so much money for new eco-friendly stuff.
Already the first topic make me think in the episode of we bare bears where they go nuts whit the shopping bags
I think metal straws, cotton produce bags, and wool dryer balls are my biggest regrets. I never use a straw, i just put produce into my cart and the dryer balls just flat out didn’t work (in my opinion). My best purchase was a good, $14 hot drink thermos. It has saved a lot of paper cups and money because and since I bring my own drink everywhere I consume less sugar. I love having hot drinks all the time. I almost bought a travel utensil set for work until I came to my senses and just brought some from home. Consumerism is so deep in our “solution” toolkit.
tbh when it comes to stuff like leather or fur I’d much rather get the natural component from the local hunter at the Renaissance fair.
Fun Fact: My brother and I once talked about what our dream armor would look like and we agreed that hardened leather with metal accents, chainmail amd fur trim would be good for me. My Beother would go full paladin plate armor and chain mail.
Hey all! I just did a video reviewing a few eco-friendly products… thought it may help you on your green journey
things i do to be eco friendly
1. use bees wax instead of ziplock bags
2. use reusable bags, bottles, straws ect.
3. reducing on meat
4. ecosia search engine
5. turning off lights
6. volunteering at “feed my starving children” it’s an organization that helps people who are starving
7. not littering
8. use this app so i don’t shop at fast fashion places
9. RECYCLE ♻️
10. use recyclable folders for school instead of plastic ones
I have bought some reusable bags just because they were pretty, but I’ve started learning that the key is to use what you already own. I have a ton of those cheap nylon drawstring backpacks because they always gave them away at college events, so I’ve started using those at the grocery store as well.
thanks for taking the time to look into these products. It’s easy to get lost in all the hype. Many businesses take advantage of our desire to switch to eco friendly lifestyle and just lie about their products.
Great video! I wonder what are alternatives for dog poo bags? At the moment I use biodegradable bags made of corn starch (I assume there’s probably still some plastic in it??) Thanks! x
Love this video idea but I would have loved for you to give more examples of sustainable options for the products you talked about.:)
Thank you for this video. I started trying to be more conscious of reducing my plastic waste and I had many of these sam thoughts. I felt that many of the items deemed as sustainable or eco-friendly, were not really sustainable.
“superfoods” and vegan foods/alternatives that are transported thousands of miles and/or are out of season. A lot of green-washing happens in the vegan food industry. I used to be vegan and understand people have strong feelings about it, but where I live (Washington) y’all cannot tell me that an açaí bowl with dragonfruit, goji berries, coconut flakes and whatever else is more sustainable than some local veggies with eggs from my hens.
I’m totally binge watching your videos! I love those sunglasses! Unfortunately I have terrible eyesight. I absolutely love this video and the T-shirt you are wearing!
I keep telling my husband that when he passes away I’m going to turn him into a diamond. Ultimate recycle! Lol. Just kidding!
You realize that buying anything from amazon totally defeats the purpose of being eco friendly?? Buying products online and having them shipped to you creates a massive carbon footprint.
Microfiber cloths and water very effectively take off makeup. I’m not sure if they would have a similar issue as reusable bags in terms of sustainability. However, cost wise it seems insane to me that I ever bought makeup wipes.
I agree on all the points. All those products sounds more “ego” than “eco” to me.
I think the most important lesson here is that however good your intentions, in the end it all depends on the city’s ability to complete the recycling process once you put something into it. If you need to organize dividing your own waste yourself or all the trash ends up in the same pile somewhere else anyway, you’re basically just wasting your time, money and energy. In the past, people lived sustainable lives because many of them were dirt-poor and couldn’t afford to waste a single thing. This is the ONLY successful way, because it wasn’t about ethics and choice, but sheer necessity. I know people who used old iron bed headbords as gates to orchards, or cans as support if the leg of a cupboard would break. That’s the real deal.

I LOVE Grove Collaborative! The walnut scrubbers and coconut scrubbers are great for dishes. The Method laundry detergent in Mango Ginger ❤
About vegan alternatives, a lot are made of plastics anyways, which really sucks from an eco standpoint. I would much rather see someone buy a used real leather jacket than buy a new vegan leather jacket. Same with furs.
I was wondering where I would find a channel that cares about waste but isn’t vegan… I want to be less wasteful but I don’t want to be vegan. I’ve subscribed. Thanks
I’m an ambassador for Sand Cloud and I am so happy to support this brand! Thank you for mentioning.
Biodegradable bags are not the same as compostable bags (who needs specific facilities like the disposable takeout containers). The first ones will actually start to decompose after a certain time, and maybe you had the “privilege” to witness it in your own plastic bags pile: they crumble into pieces and leave a horrible smell on your hands when you touch them!
I think biodegradable trash bag still better option than normal plastic. I think it must still eventually degrade way quicker than plastic does regardless of how unsuitable landfill conditions are in comparison..

If you soak orange peels in vinegar for a week, and then mix 50/50 with water you get a super cleaner that smells great! Plus you get extra Vit C from eating the 3-4 oranges that you use!
So these green businesses only profit from taxpayer funds or?
Nice to see someone actually knowing what they’re talking about
Well I’m not throwing my sandwich into a reusable shopping bag♀️ so… reusable sandwich bag it is.
You needs try, think dirty… Mrs Meyers is not very good vs. Seventh generation.
. Sadly.i had to discover this when switch to natural cleaners.. due to my asthma. I suggest reading & see what they say about their scale on how healthy theirs are products really are. I hope this helps
I agree with most of these. However, I have to disagree on the sandwich bags. As a mom who packs lunches for 3 kids with dietary restrictions EVERY day, and doesn’t buy individually packaged foods for them to pack, reusable sandwich and snack bags are definitely worth it.
I don’t understand what’s wrong with leather. Like even if you aren’t eating meat, someone else is, and it’s better to just use that than PVC.
please support my YouTube channel, sorry for the disappointment.. please support thanks…
What are your favourite environmentally friendly brands?? Let me know down below. Thank you so much for taking the time to check out my video:) lots of love.
The thing about the baguette is if you live in france and buy a baguette every day, it’s good to have a cotton bag that actually HAS the size of a baguette… just my oppinion tho….
my local bakery gives away these baguette bags every once in a while but then again i’m french and we get bread everyday so yeah
and about leather, until alternatives are all actually good quality, durable, not plastic, the best option still is real animal skin tbh
A big consideration in my cleaning supplies is the smell, and straight up destroying bacteria in my kitchen and bath. Vinegar doesn’t really do it for me.
Consider your first two Rs: reduce your consumption (by not buying things if your things are serviceable) and reuse goods (stop buying new things when ever you can buy them as secondhand items or reuse what you have), instead of just recycling
Also with vegan leather, you are buying a look, not sustainability. Go with sturdy, not fashionable.
Great video. The only thing i think is worth to mention is that is better, more sustainable, to buy second hand clothes, shoes, bags… than expensive new sustainable items.
It’s great to buy more eco friendly products that don’t have chemicals but the fact that they’re in a plastic container doesn’t help at all. Search Blueland or CleanCult on Google if you really want chemical free plastic free cleaning products
Hey
Really liked your video

Is it okay to buy organic products or is it just a waste of money?
I am sorry, but I can’t understand the commentator, his accent is too heavy.
your sunglasses look great and how nice it can float in water!! Very practical!! how long do you think shorts and swimming suits/ bikini last? as it is quite expensive.
Just one comment: baguette reusable bags are so useful as a french person, like carrying a baguette in a totebag is not that great, half of it is out of the bag while half of the bag is not used. In France, a lot of people buy bread daily and it is always given in non recyclable, non compostable paper bags, and a baguette bag would eliminate a ton of waste. Of course, this object might be superfluous depending on where you live and your habits but it is good that people sell that kind of bag. Have a good day:)
Summary of video to reflect on:)
1. Don’t constantly buy new reusable bags.
2. Don’t buy sea sponge sponges because they are a threatened species and not very sustainable.
3. Don’t buy tons of “green” cleaning products. DIY All purpose products are much more eco-friendly.
4. Don’t use biodegradable plastics because a lot are only biodegradable in industrial compost facilities so they might end up in the landfill.
5. A lot of make up wipes claim to be flush able or sustainable but aren’t. Try to use own cloths or reusable wipes.
6. Try to avoid reusable bags for specific things b/c it’s a waste of money and can only be used for certain things.
7. A lot of sustainable vegan leathers don’t do that well and aren’t as sustainable or durable as they claim to be.
8. Diamonds that claim to be ethically mined usually aren’t and if you are looking to buy a diamond try buying lab grown diamonds or secondhand.
9. Electronics are very unsustainable. Try buying secondhand or just really durable long lasting ones where you can replace parts to get maximum use.
10. “Biodegradable” trash bags usually aren’t worth the money but some are better than others.
11. Natural detox products are mostly expensive and not worth it so try to find alternatives or DIYs.
Agree with opening comments and I’ve tried my best most my life to do my bit and will continue to do so. Cheers mate:)

I think something important to keep in mind when trying to be sustainable is to work with what you have and avoid buying things unless you really NEED new things— and when you really need something new, then trying to choose a more sustainable option. We need to be conscious of how consumerist our society is.
Great, a reminder to be eco friendly by an individual who’s genesis is the biggest violators of the environment in the world. BRILLIANT! Who made this PR nightmare decision?
I try to use more sustainable stuff but one of my parents doesn’t believe in “pollution” and that jazz so whenever I want to buy sustainable products and convince them “ya know recycling exist” they just push it off and say it’s stupid. So I’m kinda stuck in a dilemma because I HATE not being able to recycle things i know is recyclable. For now I just store all my paper products in a box and recycle them at my high school. I really am aware of what I buy though.
I appreciate your critiques of consumerism both outside and inside the environmental movement thanks for sharing your insights!
Lab grown jewels are becoming much more popular because honestly, they’re a lot nicer. You have little to no impurities in a lab grown, and they’re cheaper, and you don’t have to worry about where they’re coming from.
So many times I see vegans raving and praising their vegan “leather” or “wool” which is all plastic and when you try and remind them that its still plastic they are like “n0 iTz v3GaÑ!!!” Like im not disagreeing because it uses no animal products but so many people think veganism is synonymous with eco-friendly, which it is not
In my opinion, the whole idea of ‘detox’ is unnecessary. Your body is perfectly to get rid of toxins. That’s why you have kidneys and a liver. I just don’t get it
Hi Verena! You were the person that really got me interested in living more sustainably. You have no idea how big your impact is on people’s lives because us, your viewers, are probably also influencing people in our lives to live more mindfully and consciously, and so on. I am doing research on a sustainable food business and sustainable clothing and you give me so many ideas! I’m so thankful to you and I hope you and your family are healthy and happy. Greetings from Manila!
@2.01 scary hand behind her shoulder. Probably a plant in the wind, but it scared me.
OOOOH it’s her reflection!
