I really love how realistic and actually low waste this is as opposed to seeing people in their shiny white expensive apartments that have a $50 dish brush from an organic online store and matching spray bottles bought from amazon (probably made in poor conditions and shipped across the world). It’s really refreshing and encouraging to see someone on these channels using/ reusing what they have and not just having that zero waste aesthetic. 🌹

@Eucis93 4 жыл бұрын

I own a thrift store so I’m slightly biased, but I honestly don’t understand buying new things anymore. Especially furniture, I truly don’t get why people buy furniture from stores! I’ve literally seen couches with plastic wrapping still on them on Facebook, why would you go to a store?! In my huge two story house, I have *one* brand new piece of furniture, and that’s a desk. The rest is antiques, hand me downs or thrifted. And there is honestly some conspiracy going on with furniture stores because let me tell you, my (beautiful) dining chairs from the 1920s is somehow holding up better than the ugly ones from Ikea that were made in 2016 😅

@streamoflillies2345 4 жыл бұрын

I feel like for most people, the reason they buy new is that it can be easier to find something that fits your space quickly. With second hand you often have to go to every thrift store in the area, and then possibly still not find the right item, but if you buy new you can just go to ikea or wherever and find all the furniture you need in one place. Sometimes you will find the perfect item (like I did with my prom dress), but the uncertainty and time can be hard if you want to move into a place and be done with the move rather than gradually finding the furniture you need over the next few months. There's also the matching aspect. For example I wish that my dishes were more cohesive, but because they are scrounged from various second hand places, they just aren't.

@marieamelieforrer472 4 жыл бұрын

There is also the fact that many stores deliver to your door, I personally don´t have a car so I had to buy some things from Ikea, but I also did 2 miles walking to the closest thrift store looking for a night table but I would not see myself doing this alone again

@Eucis93 4 жыл бұрын

streamoflillies All of my furniture matches, and I understand if you need something quickly it’s easier. But I still feel like it’s wasteful if the only reason you buy it is because you didn’t prepare for something or didn’t feel like waiting or searching.

@Eucis93 4 жыл бұрын

Marie amelie Forrer I don’t know what it’s like elsewhere but I know atleast one thriftstore here that delivers, mine does too. And there’s probably some other service that could deliver for you if the thirftstore doesn’t! I don’t have a car either but I’ve asked friends or family to pick something up, or hired a service.

@streamoflillies2345 4 жыл бұрын

@@Eucis93 I quite prefer shopping at thrift stores for items like clothes (except jeans. If I get those thrifted they die so fast because most people only donate their cheap jeans) I also feel like with upholstered items like couches I would be very uncomfortable with buying from a thrift store because I have no way of really cleaning it, and have no idea who owned it before me. A table I can give a good scrub, clothes I can run through the wash, etc. Couch from a friend, 100% down for that, because I know where it lived before my apartment. There is also the matter of a warranty on new bought items. My parents own a fair amount of ikea furniture, and any time we have a problem with it, ikea is great about replacing the part etc. Thrift store purchased furniture comes as is. If it seems sturdy, but breaks after a few weeks, time to start the hunt again. I don't really mind this aspect, but I know for some people that would be awful. My plan when I finish college and move out of my dorm will be to search nearby thrift stores for what I need, and then what I can't find fairly quickly, buy new. I will be moving cities, and I am not going to spend the first three months without a dining room table because I can't find one at a thrift store.

So, so, so nice to see a realistic non upper-middle class kitchen. So many of us live on a similar budget and want to be the difference. It's just such a relief to see a "zero-waste" kitchen that hasn't obviously been just trashed and replaced with everything brand new and aesthetic. You're the best, Sedona!

Hi not sure if you’ll read this, but you’re actually wrong about the way organic material decomposes in a plastic bag. In this anaerobic environment (meaning without oxygen) the material decomposes and produces methane (CH4) due to oxygen being unavailable to produce carbon dioxide (CO2). Methane is initially more devastating to the environment due to its ability to hold heat which is why ideally we want to be composting in an aerobic (with oxygen) environment. Intentionally composting in either method is beneficial (Methane gas can be used as energy, and compost can be used to return nitrogen to gardens) but throwing some food into a bag and then putting it in landfill will just allow harmful methane to get into the environment. I’m really loving your videos though, thanks for making them!

@claire28748 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, thank you for saying this! Not enough people talk about it. I see too many people say sending food to landfill is bad because it gives off CO2, when in reality it's bad because it gives off methane, and it's actually better to produce CO2 in aerated compost!

@laceras1611 4 жыл бұрын

yes! I wish more people knew this. I work on a garbage truck and pick up residential green bins/compost foods and throw it in my truck. The amount of people that throw their food out in PLASTIC/garbage bags is crazy. Nobody cares or understands how bad it is for the environment to do this.

One of the things that is best recommend is to use 1 product to clean as many areas as possible. A different cleaner isn't needed for the kitchen vs the bathroom. Also it's a miracle how much vinegar, backing soda, and Castile soap can get done. Essential oils if you want to, lots of them are bad for pets. And honestly I have found the recipes for cleaning products are just more trouble then they are worth. Also if she is having issues with vinegar on wood it sounds like she/the landlord needs to take care of the wood and refinish it. Vinegar should be diluted with water for cleaning.

AND not only that but you even live with ppl(like you said your parents and significant others) that don’t live like you but you still tolerate them. Amazing. So many people in this world get so wrapped up in shoving their life style in others faces( out of good will) but they end up only discouraging it more. Love these videos, you go girl!

I didn't do that enough and ended up buying used mason jars from the thrift store. My favorite part was that you are using this plastic containers until their life ends, because I always see pple use mason jars and Pyrex and I am always like, what did y'all do with all your plastic containers that I know lives are not done yet.

I live with my parents (as a 27 years old adult beh! But saving up for my own place hopefully...) and don’t have much of my own space to keep things in the kitchen. I just use whatever I find right now. :_; For our compost bin, it’s just an old pot to keep the day’s food waste before we chuck it into the compost bag which we keep in our freezer. And I walk down the hill to the community compost bin (about 15-20 minutes walk lol) to drop it off when needed. (It’s not too bad really, since it gives me a good form of exercise with some arm work by carrying a heavy compost bag... and I Just reward myself with freelance work and coffee afterwards. HA!) There are so many old tupperwares and upcycled jars at my parent’s place (I take responsibility for the upcycled jars collection...). I’ve already started marking things down in what I could move out with since my parents don’t use them as much... hehe. I have one black stashed bag (i call it my goth hippy bag) which I initially got to bring grapes and berries for work snacks when i had to commute for a full time job. One useful way to use the stasher bag is to use it as a ‘on the go’ compost bag to bring food waste back home (especially if you live in a city where there are no public compost bins). :)

For composting we actually use a small trash can and newspaper. We take a newspaper made of two sheets and have found a way to fold it such that when we shove it into the can, it occupies the space the way her plastic one did. It's a small trash can so we empty it into the soil everyday, wash it briefly, and also compost the newspaper.

This is helpful to watch. And about compost, we all compost in Sweden. And it does not smell at all but gets greasy too fast. We get little brown paper bags for free that we compost in and have special containers to drop the bags off in when filled up. They also tell people here to not compost in a plastic bag and that is written on the paper bag as well, that putting the brown bag in a plastic bag because it feels greasy is not making it better, instead put the paper bag in another paper bag instead to bring to the compost container. I love that. It does feel better to compost but what I'd love is to not waste anything but composting is good, but it really gets filled up fast when peeling vegetables. I am so grateful to be able to compost, that is what I am saying with this comment. Yay! 😄

Grandma tip: if you just have to have liquid soap, buy a bar soap and put it in a jar with a little water. Shake it every now and then and you got yourself liquid soap that can go in a reusable hand pump. I also do this with old soap slivers so they dont go to waste. Just one big jar that I keep adding my slivers too since I was a kid.

Composting is super easy and reduces a ton of waste, I recommend doing it as soon as you can even if you live in a situation where you can't be very low waste. tell your roommates or family members to put food scraps in a small bucket and then you can do the rest, whether that's dumping it in your own compost bin, dropping it off in a community compost bin, or finding a local garden to give your scraps to. You can even put some scraps in house plants, just do some quick research on it because I can't tell you exactly which scraps will work.

Coffee Moka's are amazing for stronger coffee. I think they might even be more sustainable than the french press. I tend to make a small pot of strong coffee in my moka and top it up with hot water if its too strong.

i love loose leaf tea! its the best low waste switch i ever made. the next time you go to the thrift store you should get metal baby spoons . I got a few from my grandma and they are perfect to fit inside of a tea jar and they are extremely useful. I also made a natural skin scrub and put it in a large jar with a little spoon works great to get the scrub out of the jar and into my small bowl :)

Secondhand 👏 is 👏 queen 👏 I’m repeating this next time I want but don’t need something or when I’m in the thrift shop and I think I want to buy it new as if it’s somehow better. Thanks for the Goodwill mason jar tip! I love jam jars since they always have the cutest lids lol and they make nice yogurt and pudding jars. Omg those are beautiful kombucha bottles! What brand is it? I’ll keep an eye out for nicer glass bottles now.

Love zero waste - I try my best, and sometimes things have to be purchased and we have to live. We can make so many choices with our wallets and as consumers we need to remember this when we purchase goods. Inevitability we will need to purchase "goods", like your French Press sounds fancy and wrong - but like your coffee maker, it's sustainable and you should have two! Great "dyi" is making the mesh part of the french press filter when it's not looking good - Not ready to give up toilet paper, just so you understand my journey of not wanting the earth to die!

I REALLY recommend moka pot coffee makers. That's what we mainly use in my and the neighbouring countries (central & eastern Europe) and it makes good quality, strong coffee with no waste (other than the coffee grounds). All needed is some water and a stove. They're also made from strong metal, so last very long. I think my grandma has been using hers for like 40-50 years. There is a small silicone gasket that can get old in a few years and replaced, but that's all.

I'm a big donation person. My friend jokes that I keep Goodwill in business lol. Now with the pandemic they're closed so I've been sending stuff to Salvation Army. So at least now I know someone else can utilize my items instead of sending it to the landfill

@SedonaChristina 4 жыл бұрын

Be carefully of donating because not everything ends up in the thrift store 💛 It all depends on how many donations they get/quality/sellability of the items. Although we’ve been marketed to think that everything does go to a second home, it often still ends up being sold in bundles overseas or in a landfill at home or abroad. The best thing you can do, is try to independently find a second home for the item before donating. Like selling on Facebook marketplace/craigslist, giving to your neighborhood, Buy Nothing groups, an organization seeking donations, or to friends and family who can use it. There are some interesting documentaries and videos on KZfaq about this if you’re curious! Of course this might depend on where you live though. But it’s generally true for most mid to large sized cities, as I’ve been told 💛 (Also so sorry not to be the biggest Debbie downer! It’s just something that has frustrated me when I learned about it! Not going to say I still don’t donate though! I’m not perfect! But I try to sell/gift first typically because my local shops are very overrun with donations)

@@SedonaChristina 💔😥 that stinks since I just got my friend and his kids into decluttering and donating instead of throwing things away (to be mindful that someone else can enjoy it). I'm from Rochester, NY (so not as big as NYC) and now I live in Orlando, FL (big but not Chicago big). So hopefully they utilize the stuff we've given them. I'll have to look into those other options. If they're gonna ship them to like Asia/Africa and stuff, why not donate them to the poor areas or less fortunate to utilize or repurpose instead of their landfills? So sad 😣

I'm trying to live a less waste lifestyle but my sense of estethics definitely gets in between, I need to have my glasses, bowls and plates matching… So good you can buy kitchen things second hand, here they only sell second hand clothes and sometimes books. I wanted to buy a silicone mat for baking, but they are all so big, I use pretty small baking sheets (like half the usual size) so for now I have to stay with baking paper, because I can cut it to match. I like your kitchen, looks so cozy and inviting :)
