Ohh I didn't know such a thing as a period cup sterilizer exists! I have a period cup already but might need to get just the sterilizer.

Agreed. I’ve always absolutely loved that quote by her.

💯

Not necessarily collective action as that needs intentional practice and working together, but culture change, is more possible

So true 🫡

You're right, I'd forgotten about this!

And drum roll we end up with eco fur that IS NOT BIO-DEGRADABLE And impossible to recycle . Total victory . The same goes to boots .

I’m not big on fur but vintage fur or leather is a lot better than buying faux plastic options. At least this way the leather is used as a by product of the meat industry and the fur is decades old and better quality than faux.

Our government is trying to make environmental protests illegal :( it's ridiculous, I hope they don't succeed (by our constitution, they can't), but they're a bunch of fascists, and probably seeking a loophole.

Fun that I’ve heard this sentiment at least 50 times from different individuals, agreeing collectively that it’s okay to not do anything and therefore creating collective inaction. I’ve also heard the “well we should hold companies responsible more than the individual”, which I agree with, but they blurt out this statement and then go ahead ans don’t do that either. Like wow. Go girl give us nothing.

Something I've heard from my parents is that all I need to care about is myself and my family's wellbeing, and should vote according to that and not care about issues affecting anyone else

It really is sad how incredibly subsidised the meat, dairy, oil, car, etc industries are and how people are generally just wilfully ignorant to it or in denial about it.

@@RottenlyMoodyChild ...or truly just don't care. Which brings us back to why corruption continues to exist.

I live in Florida, a new a/c unit is necessary. Here, you can't get used. Don't beat yourself up. You tried. And you do other things. I believe our small things we each do, matter in the grand scheme. Keep doing you ❤

It's not about being perfect! By doing all the things you do, you're already contributing a lot! It's better to do some things consistently than trying to do everything perfectly and not being able to keep up

In Denmark, it's common for locally-grown strawberries to come in cardboard. Imported strawberries come in plastic. In general, our grocery-store produce is over-packaged. I don't see why a single bell pepper needs to be in cellophane, yet the organic ones commonly come that way.

😂😂😂😂😂 not a great example

​@@junglesuperstar9270 why not? Her statments are able to convince more conservative people than the "last generation" mouvement perceived as "green khmers".

You have to do your best though. Where is the utility of this video then if you're still thinking like this😢?

@@khadidjaghouraf7008 Do I really *have* to? It's not changing anything here. There's not even a recycling system in place. I had my cloth bags packed into plastic bags by the cashier when I handed them over to get my groceries bagged. At some point one needs to give up and protect one's own sanity instead of running against walls.

@@juliajs1752 Same thing in my country. I struggle to do that and when I buy something and refuse to get it packed in a plastic bag, people gaze me strangely as if I'm primitive or something. I would say, at least, my conscience gets satisfied.

Yes, jars, glasses and porcellaine plates are not everytime the best for disabled people. Thats why we uses durable and reusable plastic cups and plates for our son. The same one for years now. Yes, ignoring corporate waste is a mistake. Thats why it makes sense to buy second hand. And yes, having children is wasteful. And you are free to choose your way of life.

@@judith6133 In the UK, poor construction with no insulation is common. Unfortunately, one’s choice is limited by the housing stock available. I appreciate the civil tone of your reply. Thanks for actually considering what I wrote. Best wishes for you and your family from Leeds.☮️

@@usainengland Oh, I know, our house has the same problem with insulation. My parents invested a lot of money a few years back to insulate the house, but it still takes a lot of energy to heat. The bill is enormous. Unfortunately I can`t change this. Sometimes we have to live with the things given. If you are a football fan, good luck for saturday.

@@usainenglandinstead of demanding normal housing and following laws , you just -oh that’s ok

@@junglesuperstar9270 I live in 2 rooms and didn’t have children. I have never owned a car. If my lifestyle is the problem then there is no solution. Forgoing plastics & being less wasteful is good but the building single-family houses and population growth will still kill the planet.

Yes, it's a privilege of access, and sometimes of money, but not always. In less 'developed' countries there are sometimes more markets and less supermarkets with plastic, or growing your own food as a farmer creates no waste at all. The modern amounts of waste are a fairly new problem which corporate empires have created. Beans don't grow in a package. However, our choises are often limited, therefore, the choises which we can make, each of us should. Acknowledging something is a privilege should not mean you should feel guilty and not do it. It should mean you are grateful and take responsibility of doing it, because not everyone can. After all, it's a good thing we are talking about. If you can do a good thing, you should do it! A vegan not buying meat is not making a herder bankrupt. The corporation setting the prices low is. The herder's economical incentive is to get paid, not sell as many animals as possible. In fact, they are overworked, and underpaid, as it is. And not because of vegans, but because of the demand of rapid industrialisation of the meat industry to create more and more product, demanded by the corporate elites and the politicians in the 70's and 80's. (If I'm remembering correctly, that was around when factory farming became the trend).

There is so much scientific and factual proof that shows how mass meat production contributes to deforestation and climate change and intensive use of drinking water. The carbon footprint of animal agriculture is very big. It's not about gettind rid of animals, it's about not mass breeding animals who are fed with food that could have been eaten directly. Animals don't want to die, and for all those millions of people to eat so much meat takes millions and millions of animals to be killed every day. It is not hard to feed a vegetarian child. A lot of families live vegetarian and vegan. There are a lot of websites and books with inspiration and good info, also aimed at families with less time. In animal agriculture calves don't get to be with their moms for long, they are forcible seperated. Same with piglets. And there is nothing cleaner about eating an animal with multiple stomachs; their stomachs don't make their "clean". It's also kind of sad you can not keep following someone who promotes more plant based food. Why not take some inspiration or try it out. Is a good liveable future of humanity and this planet worth sacrificing so that a small group of people can eat meat 7 days a week?

I was vegetarian as a kid (parents’ choice not mine) and this was in the early 1990s when there were few vegetarian or vegan options in grocery stores other than beans, vegetables, and rice. There is nothing wrong with eating meat if it fits your lifestyle and budget. Supporting local and buying small quantities of free range, locally sourced eggs or meat works better for me. Kids who are vegan or vegetarian may also struggle socially if they are invited places where meat or dairy is served like a friend’s birthday party or out to dinner.

​@@ChantalA489 However, as adults, we create this society and coulture which kids are part of. We need to teach them that vegetarian and vegan food are normal food, which everybody can eat. Not a special diet food.

For OP: There are more domestic animals now in the world than there are wild animals. I think that's messed up. That's why I think we should reduce, and why I reduce. There are too many cows, pigs, and chickens. No ill will towards local farmers. The scales are just off - off nature's boundaries. If we ate less meat, we could rewild more habitats to wild species and save many from extinction. It matters to me. Wild species are what make the ecosystem, that gives us life and health. Without it, we suffer.
