If you have to make holes in some more tins, you can fill them up halfway with water and put them in the freezer for a couple of hours. Then they are more sturdy and it's way easier to make a hole in it :)

These are my favourite type of videos... hanging out with a cool and inspiring person from half-way around the world (that’s you, of course, I’m from 🇨🇦) just doing normal (sustainable) life stuff is really interesting and inspiring!! I want to thank you for taking the time to do this week-long video. It was great!! I am also excited about your book, can you tell us more about it??

I always put chia seeds & ground flax seeds in my oatmeal, I used to put hemp seeds in also but I heard that hemp seeds should be kept out of hot dishes because it kills a lot of the nutrients which really bummed me out 😔 I still put them in my smoothies, avacado toast, salads, Etc. Thought I'd let you know! 😊

For the holes in the tins, fill with water, freeze, and then tap the nail in. (Great for tin can luminaries, too.) Reuse the water/ice.

Real quick tip! Don’t store potatoes and onions together. They cause each other to go off quicker. We keep them in the same cabinet together but in separate bowls and that seems to be enough.

I was looking to replace my 4 year old adidas I ordered for myself as a high school graduation gift (2016) that were a half size too short for me (they’d hurt my big toe back into the knuckle bone after hours of wear) and when you showed the Cariuma IBI’s I fell in love they’re so cute and simple. I just preordered some (they were on backorder). I got the same off white because my Adidas were white Stan smiths but I’m not trying to buy new leather products. Also I like how the IBIs look sort of like Keds, most of my clothes are thrifted or vintage look (80’s/90’s) but some is just cute stuff that’s newer so that’s a good fit for both. Once they come in early August I’ll give my adidas to a friend of mine that gives clothing items to homeless people who need it in my hometown, as they are still in very good shape and outsoles are not very worn. I never got that much wear due to the discomfort they caused me from being too short. If someone fits in them, I’m sure they’ll last quite a while longer.

I tried to regrow spring onions so many times but the water always becomes so gross quickly. Even when I changed the water twice a day and used only a tiny amount so only the roots touched the water it still got stinky really fast. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

Do you have a list for eco-friendly or reputable second hand electronics sites /stores? I know you can buy refurbished phones and laptops from regular brands, but I don't always trust them... I don't know why. And I would like to support brands that don't also produce brand new electronics. Do the refurbished /second hand phones last a while? Will they be obselete because of software updates pushed out by the cell companies?

You probably won't see this comment BUT IF YOU DO and want a compost solution, try going to sharewaste.com to connect with someone who has a compost who will take your food scraps. It's an Australian website (us Australians have all the groovy sustainable solutions) but I did take a look at the map and there seems to be ONE person in Denmark who is registered, in Alborg, wherever that is✌

Is it really a good idea to take your own food to a relatives house? As a vegetarian, I never make a point of it. There are always some salads, fruit or mostly vegetable dishes in any party or gathering. I would be offended if someone brought a container with chopped cucumbers to our table. Family is also important, not only animals. Especially, if we want more people joining plant based. As for phones, where is the information about 1% recycling comes from? www.apple.com/newsroom/2019/04/apple-expands-global-recycling-programs/
