It is not a simple task. It's good that young people concientice us this.

I’ve done a test on an environment footprint program, the result shows that my biggest contribution on polluting the environment is travelling by airplane. Even just travelling by airplane once a year, it nearly ruins all my green efforts that I’ve done through the whole year. So...I’m asking everyone who are reading my comment, how many times do you travel by air per year?

Walk or bike or roller skate. Ski and ice skate in winter with snow/ice. Good for your figure and health too. Just don't go so far. And if you really need to go further away: bus or train.

"On my flight home from south-east asia I was looking at that plastic cup ..." You definitely got the real priorities straight there.

if one flight turns a person's lifestyle from a plastic-filled consumerist lifestyle into a zero-waste lifestyle, it'll be worth it. in the long run the pollution from the flight is far less than the waste she would've created for the rest of her life, had she not taken that trip

I love influential women like this. I’m seeing more women promoting this lifestyle than men! Someone correct me if I’m wrong please! I’ll watch all the guys videos too! What do they all do with their vacuum cleaner stuff?

Felicitaciones Manuela, vivo en Colombia, si el video estuviera en español seria mas fàcil difundirlo a muchos amigos para que les enseñen a sus hijos. Gracias

It is good to live with zero waste but, than we should close all the production lines of plastic and many people will lose their job and profit. In my country you cannot use your own container for food that sell on mesuring

@AnnaBePunkt 7 жыл бұрын

You can't rely your decision to harm the environment less on the possibility that someone could lose their job. The economy changes and there will be new jobs in greener companies.

Helena Mauros I personally am vegan, which is a much more environmentally friendly lifestyle than any lifestyle that includes animal products. Being vegan makes it easier for me to shop plastic free, because I mainly buy from the veggie section. I use cotton bags for smaller things and I don't use any bag for bananas, salads and stuff like that. (Except for the one I carry all my groceries home ;) )I guess I also couldn't buy animal products in my own containers in my country either but I don't have to think about that, which makes the whole thing a lot easier. :)

@sarafritsch123 7 жыл бұрын

If you close down plastic production, that doesn't mean money and jobs will disappear, but rather, will change. You could start seeing more composting organizations, more recycling facilities etc. the state of our planet is the most important thing right now, or we won't have a world to live/work in

I agree with the fundamentals of what she has to say wholeheartedly, but the smugness in her voice is just a bit annoying to listen to.

I agree. No matter how true or useful your information is, if you give it in such an annoying way it's much less effective.

@a_mustache_of_great_repute 2 жыл бұрын

This would be so much less annoying and reach more people without the lecture. Tell people about the products and how much they save. I bought three fountain pens and haven't bought a pen in four years. I don't smoke cigarettes, i smoke a pipe. I buy clothes that aren't going to bust apart in a year (looking at you target) Literally no one cares about your outrage. They're too busy working for a living.
