My dad never wasted anything, as he was a product of the post-depression era. One of the many things he did to save was using bar soap to bathe. Once the bar of soap became a sliver, he put it into a bucket that sat in the corner of the shower. Once the bucket filled up enough, he would rub his washcloth in it and suds himself up! We thought he was a little weird for that, but really, he was a genius. 😂 So many memories of the crazy things he'd do to repurpose & reuse. I think it brought him a lot of joy, honestly. 🥰

There’s a company in Australia using coffee grounds to grow mushrooms 🍄 and another has come up with a way to create various nut milks that are in jars instead of tetra packs. It’s also more affordable since one jar of nut milk concentrate can make up to 80litres of nut milk

You can check w/ local regulations, but where I live, if the deceased is buried w/in 3 days of death, there's no need for embalming. My Dad always said he wanted to be buried in a plain pine box, so that's what we did. We held a memorial service a few days later. No embalming + no funeral = very inexpensive send-off. No need to spend thousands...and no chemicals in the environment.

I'm absolutely not an expert in recycling, so genuine question here : if you crush very finely and press together plastic and aluminium, isn't the resulting material impossible to recycle ? It sounds more like "re-use" than "re-cycle" to me, or "delayed waste". Someone will have to process this brick in the future and it will be even harder no ? If they just burn/bury the whole thing then it is really just delayed waste no ?

How about just quit smoking, or drinking too much coffee, using plastic short lasting shoes like flip flops...what I'm saying is : how did people manage to live before all that industrial garbage?! Can't we restart using things that are lifelong and focus on things that are quality lifelong rather than having huge quantity of harmful garbage. By the way where would those plastic toys go afterwards??? That's hilarious when they say that the glu is non toxic 😆😆😆 while the workers are all wearing masks 🤣🤣. With the body recycling did anyone think what would happen when there's too much fungus???? I'm terrified to think about fungus covering the entire planet. People just stop intruding into normal cycle of life as it was intended to be.

@@zyxw2000 1. I don't believe that these bricks are more ecofriendly than these made of clay, which (the clay) is probably the most natural material, 2. I work in Asphalt company in Bulgaria, and here we recycle asphalt , too. So this is not something new, which happens only in New York. 3. Bamboo wood itself is one of the cheapest kind of wood, so it is pointless to collect chopsticks, transport them, "bake" them in order to make them monolite again. And for the people in poor countries I already wrote, that it's better to plant new trees, than to work in these fabrics where they are exploited and you can see how healthy is the environment.
