It is getting late but I had to tell you I like your voice, and the fact that you show us how to do whatever it is. It is stuff you can use in every day life. Even if you don't live in a tiny house.

I love your content, you, and your adorable tiny home.

I love Sophie trying to stir your coffee with her sweet tail. I use some of the items, but once again you've given me more great tips and ideas. Thank you for these videos.

Good morning, Adelina and Sophie! Great tips, thank you! This has made me even more interested in Tru- Earth. To save them going to recycling immediately, I cut up my old t-shirts and use them as dishcloths and cleaning rags. I also cut up old, fraying facecloths and use them as make up remover and eye- refresher pads, eliminating the need for cotton wool pads. I recently discovered there is a reusable tampon applicator, which was a revelation to me! Even if I only use it for ten years, it's made a difference, plus they recycle your old one when it needs replacing! Win-win! Have a lovely day! x

I switched to cloth menstrual pads because I only have to buy them once. I bought 10 of them for $30aud. The price for a pack of disposables was about $6 and would last 1 cycle. After 5 cycles using cloth, I made my money back on them and now I save more because I don’t have to buy pads anymore. I make furniture out of old lumber that would otherwise be thrown out. I keep the same electronics (phone, laptop, iPad) for years. I mostly shop second hand. I like to live frugal, at this point it’s a game. Friend of mine always says things like, “I can’t believe you’d stoop so low to save money.” And I respond, “that’s why I own a house and you still live with your mother.” * surprised pikachu face *

I use the glass containers with the snap lids and use them in the freezer and fridge I dont then need the zip.lock bags . I use them to store leftovers and I can just pop then in the oven to heat up saves washing up . It minimizes the amount of stuff you have and keeps it minimal 🧡 My cat is like yours but long haired his name is muffy and loves to sleep most of the time 🐈

Good video - you have a pleasant presentation, makes me want to watch anything you post!

While I have lived a very low waste lifestyle for many decades now - I always enjoy learning what others do as well! One thing I noticed that you didn’t mention was a reusable water bottle, which I am sure you use, to cut out the single use plastic bottle (the bane of my existence along with the plastic bag = I would ban both if I could!!!) Great video!

I would love to see your coffee mug collections.It generally matches with your sweaters..

As always, very informative video and enjoyed Sophie’s participation 😊❤️

Loved this video....whatever you buy it all looks so pretty ...always you buy smart functional and pretty things ...loved those grocery bags so much ...that's why I love your cozy beautiful home so much and love your cooking videos too..

Ahhh, the highlight to each Sunday! Great advice to cut down on waste. Wish we had a "Bulk Barn" here, however, I believe we have a grocery co-op that sells some bulk items. Sounds easy enough to make these small changes, and what an impact it can make for the environment. And I'm sure its makes one feel good about these habits also, a win-win! Like your heart sweater, and Sofie is such a ham for the camera, she is adorable! Thanks Adelina!

My bulk store is my daughter’s pantry! How blessed am I?

I have swapped paper towels for hand towels and microfiber cloths. Saves the environment and money.

Omg, I love this video! Living small and with intention while reducing my carbon footprint is my goal!!! ❤️

Last year I focused on reducing plastics in my home. I started using soap berries (nuts) for laundry and now for doing kitchen dishes. After 4 or 5 reuses, they get composted. They cost $40 for 1kg from Amazon and will last a year. I've switched to using only bars of soap for hands, shampoo & conditioner, and kitchen dishes. I'm glad to make the switch. No more big bottles of advertised brands in my home. Thank you for sharing.

I love the glass storage containers. I bought two sets at Costco and I use them all the time😊

Great ideas! Thanks again! I kept thinking Sofie was going to attack your hand....that tail was telling me she wanted to play!

Once again, great video. I especially loved Sophie wanting your attention. She got it too!

Great video! ;) One of our mutual viewers, Kari, told me you mentioned me! Thanks for the shout out! I found that those silicone bags were hard to use, close, clean and dry so I got rid of those. I'm actually working on another 10 items for another video. There are so many changes we can make! But great to know you use them for freezer!

Great advice 💯😊love your comment " when you do something different you get funny looks"😊😊😊

Love the True Earth laundry strips, I also always carry a straw and reusable bag in my purse. I have a small pouch that I carry my straw in and I also have a fork And spoon in there.

I love and look forward to all your videos, I always learn so much. I sit to watch with a pen and paper for notes. Thank you from Prescott Valley, Arizona.

great swaps, I definitely reuse the jars from sauces, dressings, etc,

Tru Earth - Thanks to you I discovered this company and LOVE LOVE LOVE the laundry sheets. I've ordered a year supply and so has one of my friends. Another friend will be placing her order soon. They did just announce that they now have all purpose disinfecting cleaner sheets that dissolve in water. I ordered 4 glass spray bottles from Amazon (because I couldn't find any locally) and those arrived late last week. I'll be placing my disinfecting cleaner sheet order very soon - am waiting for my friend to place her laundry order and I'll add on to that so we can cut down on the delivery truck coming with two boxes. This is my favorite newly discovered product of the past 5 years for sure. It's truly great! I expect the disinfecting cleaning strips will be equally as excellent. Thanks for another great video! Some other ideas: I make my own beeswax wraps. Also, I now make my own sour cream and yogurt, but inevitably I do end up buying a few things that come in containers and I use those for leftovers (even though I prefer glass.) to get extra use of them. Also, I clean out all peanut butter jars, ketchup bottles, old spice jars, etc. I use the smaller empty spice jars to give my friends samples of things like homemade deodorant. I use an old ketchup bottle in my camper and put pancake powder in it, then just add egg and milk when camping, shake it up and squirt out pancake batter into the pan. I do end up getting an abundance of old containers and eventually end up cleaning them out and giving them to the art department at school to use for paint containers and so on. I figure at least they get several uses before they end up in the landfill, but I do believe it's important to try to make more products from scratch (like yogurt and sour cream and peanut butter) so that I can avoid the extra plastic. I now make my own peanut butter by dumping a jar of dry roasted peanuts into my Ninja blender and blending on high until the oils run and the peanuts turn into creamy peanut butter. It takes quite a long time of blending, so I do it for a couple minutes, then turn it off, then after a few minutes turn it back on and so on until I have penaut butter. I often add honey to it as a sweetener or maple syrup, but it's without white sugar for sure.

Great video. Love the red sweater and mug. This is a wonderful topic. I make my own laundry powder, but would like to try those strips. Take up so little space too. Funny how all the containers we are using now are glass. I remember my grandmother always used glass for everything and of course she had canning jars too. Living thru the depression they didn't waste anything. Have a wonderful week. We need to get you more subscribers you are awesome! -Sue from MI

I live full time in my RV so space saving solutions are extremely important. I can't use glass jars obviously, but I do really like those reusable silicone bags and 'stretchy ' lids, lol. Thank you for your helpful videos☺ I'm from Victoria and its nice to watch a fellow Canadian🥰

Thank you for addressing this topic. 🤗 I use jars, produce bags, glass containers, and laundry balls. I plan to get silicone lids, silicone bags and straws.

Great ideas! I also use the glass containers with the snap -on lids and love them! I like the stretchy covers for the casseroles- going to try them!

Love the laundry strips! Going to see if I can get them in the US.

OMG such a great video! Thank you so much for this. One of the best ones yet. Love this information.

Well done! I use jars already - I’m on line looking at Tru Earth... I like what I am seeing! Dryer balls/ food savers, etc.

Thanks Adelina, another great video. Sophie is such a character, does she know how popular she is in these videos. I look forward to your videos every week. Your tiny home is beautiful. The folding grocery bags are great, a have a few in my bag, some in car.

I have those same silicone “baggies” and also found that I don’t use them much; I seem to reach for jars and glass containers. I found compostable straws, so I keep them in my car. I like to drink my hot coffee with a straw so that I don’t spill/dribble while driving. Thanks for your suggestions!

Those Glass snap-on lid containers you can find them at IKEA comes in all different sizes and very inexpensive like less than $5.

Very useful. I'll definitely look into the True Earth laundry detergent - good to know it works really well!

Thank you for sharing what earth saving items you use😊 I do not know of any bulk store in Buffalo New York 😢 but I do however have the glass containers with snap on lids. I definitely would like to get the silicone lids for my big salad bowls🤗 I currently use Saran Wrap on them. 😢 Your Sophie is adorable! I could see her paw reaching for something (probably the straws) 😂 thank you so much for your video and I hope you have a blessed day!

Two of my favorites are containers with snap on lids & reusable bags. I have several of both in various sizes. So happy the stores are again allowing the reusable bags. As always love your kitty. 🐱❤️

We really do need to keep increasing our use of more sustainable items and I do many of the things you have suggested today. I plan to replace all my plastic containers with glass once they are no longer usable. Have you tried using the beeswax wraps that replace Saran Wrap? I just bought some and they are expensive, but I think they’ll be a great alternative.

THANKS,,, SO MUCH,,, GREAT IDEAS, WHICH I WILL DEFINITELY BE DOING ALSO,,👍

I've thought about the glass containers. Why I hesitate is that they don't stack, so would need more room to store them. But they are definitely preferable to plastic . Question about True Earth Laundry strips. What if you have different size loads of laundry? Are there different size strips?

One thing I started doing is cleaning the big bags my 3 lbs of walnut come in from Sam’s, the unsweetened coconut sacks, shredded cheese, dried cherries sacks etc. The are all sturdy bags that I now store leftovers and other things in. If it is something messy I don’t feel bad about throwing them away. I don’t know what took so long to think of this. I never buy plastic bags anymore.

I’ve never heard of the laundry strips! I’ll check them out to make sure there is no polyester in them because if so, that is far worse than buying large plastic jugs. Thanks for the tip on silicone bags and getting the larger size. Love the silicone lids for large dishes. I love my stainless steels straws with silicone tips. I also have a travel ‘Final Straw’ fold up straw which I love. I have used muslin produce bags for 30 years and they work great. I’ve also used my own travel utensils and grocery bags for over 30 years. This is nothing new ... it’s just become more popular with social media ... which is FABULOUS! Thank you!

I have a folding straw in my purse. It has it's own holder so it stays clean and takes almost no space. I was concerned that the silicone divider (bendy joint) has held up well. We love the laundry strips for travel. We use them at home, too, but my husband camps and sometimes needs to do an unexpected load of laundry. He's very sensitive to scent and being able to easily bring unscented laundry strips with him is so useful. They take up no space. I also like using them on hand wash items. They rinse out faster and don't leave a film on my clothes.

Great suggestions and ideas! I have some of the items you talk about and will look into others!! Thank you 😊

Thanks for the review of the tru-earth product. I saw those on Facebook and was wondering how well they worked!

My son sent me some eco-friendly straws for my birthday along with some dried elderberries to make syrup! I really like them and easy to clean with the little brush that comes with. I’m also doing a compost pile for my garden so scraps can go right back into the earth! Thanks for all these suggestions. It makes me more aware of how I can help maintain the earth!💕

I have just started using Tru-Earth and love it! Also, it's great to support a Canadian company. :) I'm in Ontario. ♥

Thanks for all your good advice.

Yes!!! Great way of living!!!

Wow! The only thing I haven’t done yet is to take my own containers to Bulk Barn. I enjoy your videos and am hoping to be in my own tiny house within the next few years.

Great ideas! Thank you

Got those sort of bags. Sophie doing her little rituals was fascinating.

I love your channel! I don’t live in a tiny house but we have a little cabin and my dream in some point is downsizing even more. I am also an animal lover so that make it harder 😂🤣😂🤣. Tons of love from Colorado ❤️❤️❤️

I loved this video💗. I already do most but will try the detergent and will buy the container covers. My feeling is every little bit helps. If we all did a little bit it would add up to be huge. Thanks 🙏

I have half the stuff you showed and I love them. I think once I finish my laundry soap I will try out what you use :-)

I started using those washing machine sheets they are awesome, I sure enjoy all the sustainability items you talk about and of course love your tiny house😊

Hi that was great, I use mason jars for storing dry goods, I like the covers this would save on plastic wrap, I have my grocery bags in my truck, however i forget them and have to go back for them uggg. I shop Aldi's and they offer all size boxes to use to pack up your groceries, great. I will try out laundry soap. I recycle all the time separating so my garbage really does not have much. Take care.

Great ideas! Thx.

Thanks for the info. You inspired me

Great video 😁 thank you again for getting us to think out side the box. Looking forward to your next video 🌻

Thank you for the ideas!

Great, great tips! I've got a couple of those items now in my Amazon shopping cart! 👍🏻😸 Thank you!!

Great tips! Thanks for sharing!! 😀

Appreciate the share.

Another great video! By the way, your hair looks fantastic!

Great video! I wish they sold the laundry detergent here in the US, I haven’t seen them. I have both the metal and soft silicone straws. I use the silicone straw with my Yeti because it’s flexible and easily fits in the oval hole.

America’s Test Kitchen just put out a great review of reusables. I have the rubber lids and I don’t like them.

I really liked your video. I use the straw's but they came with a cup. I think they great because ti keep your drink cold a long time. Make sure they have two levels . I got my at Target.I don't know if they are only in the United States Also how easy are these bags to clean. The glass containers are great for warming up things. I just put them in the top rack of the dishwasher. That all for now

Great video

Thank you very much for your tips Sophie is so adorable ^:^

Hi, another really useful video, thanks. Most of your tips I have been doing for awhile now but am going to start using the Tru Earth laundry detergent. Good information. If your silicone lids are the same as mine the large one fits over your Instant Pot insert which comes in handy when I am bulk cooking to freeze, I can let stew, soups etc... cool overnight in the fridge without dirtying more bowls. Our recycle centre has stopped taking glass so I am saving all of the jars to reuse, hopefully someone can use them as I have way more than I need. Give Sophie a head rub from me.🐈 BTW I always keep 6 bags in my purse, time to start using a smaller purse.. 😂

I really like your channel

I just ordered the straws and eco friendly detergent. Am particularly interested in the easy to use detergent. I’m lazy. I live in Sacramento CA and Costco has the glass containers at a great price. Love the fact they don’t stain or smell. Thank you for taking the time to share yourself with your fans.🤗

Love it! Great video. Sweetie of a cat.

HI,,,,🙋‍♀️ ADELINA,,,, EXTREMELY USEFUL!!! ( VIDEO) 💕💫✔

Loved the video. I will definitely check out the items I don't use. Questions ... what do you put your used kitty litter in? And where did you get your great loveseat? It is exactly the size and color I have been searching for.

Just suscribe to your channel =) I really like your content ! I'll be moving in my tiny house in a few weeks (if everything goes well with my parking spot...) and starting to feel very excited and a bit nervous ! Any last minute tips ? :)

Thank you, Adelina! I started using the walnut kitty litter that you use and I love it ( so does my cat! lol) I was using the blue crystals, and although I liked it, I knew it was so bad fo r the earth. I love all you tips and you videos encouraging others to live a more intentional life. Sophie was so cute sitting next to you during your video, my kitty is doing the same while I watched!

I use plastic store bags, doubled, when I clean the litter box. I have 2 cats and clean their box daily but there’s always a lot to scoop. What do you use instead? I’ve watched all your videos but didn’t pay attention to what you used. 😽

I want those silicone lids for bowls and casseroles. Where did you get yours?

I have these straws by manna & I love them! I also like glass ones but I'm always afraid I'm going to crack them😂 so I highly recommend the manna ones with the little holder & brush! Our bag charge is about 20p per bag but I've got reusable bags but I sometimes forget to take them. I was going to ask if you had tried the bees wax wraps instead of cling film but as a vegan you might not like that? I do know some vegans that still eat honey so I don't know lol my sister & her partner are beekeepers x

I want to be YOUR neighbor 😊.
