I love that we are getting to a place where it's not all or nothing, just people trying, messing up, learning and trying again. I feel like it's so much healthier and more welcoming, let's change the algorithm and promote this attitude.

I've been thinking about selling off my unused stuff lately and the idea of making it a once a month habit instead of a monumental decluttering is so relieving and helpful!! I get stuck on big tasks like that and overwhelmed to the point that I just cry and never get anything done. But once a month as a habit? Absolutely achievable!! Love it!!

Love the honesty and agree that there is a pressure to be "perfect" at being sustainable but it's just not really possible - we can only strive to do better and keep learning and growing with others - while being able to appreciate & enjoy life

Gonna share with y’all my latest Low Impact Project: “Stainless Steel Re-usable Cutlery Place-settings for 500”!! Yikes… I think I have bit off more than I can chew with this project. My school uses disposable plastic cutlery for everything… including the Christmas Dinner & Dance, Pancake Breakfasts, cafeteria lunches, etc. The waste is alarming!! I can no longer turn a blind eye… so I am thrifting 500 knives, forks, and spoons… AND I live in the remote wilderness of northern 🇨🇦 which makes this project all that much more challenging!! So I have set-up a network of friends and family all over the province who have joined the project. I love the communal goal… it is giving me the drive to stick with this project. Immy, your content also gives me drive!!!!!! Thanks so much for all the knowledge, support, and inspo that you have provided for folks all over the world, including me! 🌎💦Ⓜ️ary💕. PS - this video has reminded me that I need to sell my childhood sewing machine. Stay tuned for cutlery updates (if anybody’s interested??) 🥄🍴🥄

@@rosie.bear. Yes, Rosie… the waste in the school system is horrifying!! Worse yet, using single-use plastic and disposable items in schools does not set a good example for our students!! Sorry to say that I will not be making a video, simply because I am not a very tech savvy person. But if it’s OK with Immy, I can give the occasional update here in the comments. I have to say that, right now, the “Cutlery Collection” is looking like a fairly ambitious project, but I’ve got ‘er started and that’s the main thing. I had forgotten how heavy cutlery is!!!! 🤣 Thanks for your support, I really appreciate it. Ⓜ️ary🥄🍴🥄🍴🥄🍴

I'm trying to bring my own bags to the grocery store, buy the ugly or alone produce, become more self aware about my values and boundaries through journaling and meditation, find non wasteful hobbies like gardening and hiking, using all of what I have before I buy more, composting, and contacting businesses and the government about how they could improve for their costumers and the world.

it's interesting to know your thoughts on selling things you're not sure you'll use again. I struggle with this, especially as a young person who moves every year or so. I have a bunch of stuff I may need in a different apartment (organizational stuff, extra furniture etc) and I'm hesitant to get rid of it because I would hate to sell it, only to have to rebuy it in a year when I move. Same goes for things like fancy clothes I might need for a wedding or funeral if the occasion ever arises. For me I don't think the money or space gained from getting rid or something is worth the hassle or additional cost if I ever need to rebuy it (used or not).

I love who gives a crap toilet paper. I bought a 48 pack when the pandemic started and I still have rolls left. I highly recommend it especially for people who live alone because you won’t have to think about buying toilet paper for like, what is this two years now? And counting. And it’s so soft. I’ve been trying to buy more produce that’s grown locally, but not farmers market locally because I’m broke but grown in the USA. I can’t find stuff all the time but the effort is more of a conscious effort now instead of just grabbing and going. Along with that eating seasonally which doesn’t really limit with me where I live because our growing season is long af

Really like hearing about the habits that are still a work in progress. With every new change, there's always a period of figuring it out. But as you said, that doesn't always fit the algorithm.

@fernandaribeiro1793 2 жыл бұрын

Just watched this video today and I agree with everyone: it's really nice to listen you being so honest and open about your journey. And I believe you should share what feels right for you. I'm sure your community here will embrace it. "You can't do all the good the world needs, but the world need all the that you can do". And you do plenty Immy! Ps: I believe teaching and inspiring the younger generations is one of the most sustainable and powerfull things we can do!

@marieamelieforrer472 2 жыл бұрын

unrelated but I have bought new speakers and their sound is so good that the bird in the last part of your video had me stopping the video because I thought that I had a bird trapped in my appartement. I also agree, the minimalist movement told us to get rid of everything which ended up making some of us to be quite wasteful. If you have the capacity and/or the mind space to keep things for just in case or for special occasion, it can be a very good thing too :)

I appreciate this video. It's important not to show a "perfect" zero-waste lifestyle because it's almost impossible living in the world we do. I'm curious about the things you're doing in your community. If they relate to topics on your channel, I'd be interested in a video that promotes and gently persuades people to get involved in their communities. I'm renting, so I sometimes feel like it's not worth getting involved if I don't plan to stay here for long.
