We do not want few people doing zero waste perfectly , we want millions of people doing zero waste imperfectly.

I love how dedicated she is, but I don't think people should be carrying around this much guilt when corporations should be taking more responsibility.

You will have to sacrifice a lot of packaged food. But we will have to do this for mother Earth

When she said mushrooms was the reason I thought that she was high when making a lifestyle choice

YOU LAUGH NOW BUT YOULL ALL BE LINING UP TO GET LESSONS FROM THIS LADY WHEN WE RUN OUT OF OIL IN 50 YEARS

I honestly wanted to joke on her until she mentioned mushrooms as her inspiration. Now I respect her and the choices she's making, except the coconut oil and baking soda toothpaste, but that's only from my family line of bad teeth. I have to use sensodyne, otherwise I'm losing my tooth 1 by 1 on a consistent basis. But I definitely respect her for her lifestyle.

So much natural light throughout her home. That ivy is going to vine around the entire space. Thx for the upload. Very informative. 🦋🧘🏾‍♂️🦋

Sadly there just isn't bulk stores around me. There's certain products I just can't find not in a plastic container. Hopefully enough demand from customers can shift that.

Little tip: you can't use baking soda everyday, only once a week because it damages the enamel. You welcome!

She’s so gorgeous lowkey I’m in love

just for any one who gets into this lifestyle, know that you dont have to do all these transitions right away. it increases gradually. for example, you could start drying ur clothes outside, walk/bike to close destinations if you can, etc.

We all need to change, even a wee bit is a start.

Even if you can’t go 100% zero-waste, every little bit matters! Even just re-using things can help. You can re-use food containers (ex. Butter and sour cream containers) as Tupperware, wash plastic straws and use them, using grocery bags as trash bags, cutting old shirts to make rags for washing tables and dishes, and so much more. And just using the absolute most of what you have, scraping out every last drop, helps too. It’s the little things that matter, too.

*LOVE THIS!* If you’re not ready to go 100% plastic free, there are *small changes you can make that make a HUGE difference.* The main things that have great plastic alternatives are: *-Reusable water bottles and coffee cups* *-Bamboo toothbrushes* *-REUSABLE STRAWS* (at the very least decline plastic straws) *-Reusable shopping bags* *-Reusable cotton/bamboo/fabric makeup remover pads* *-Plastic Free dental floss (I personally like it better than its plastic counterparts)* *-Plastic Free toothpicks* If anyone is still wondering why going plastic free is so important, it’s because every piece of plastic that has ever been created is still in existence. Plastic is not biodegradable but it is photodegradable. This means that when it ends up in the water, all the elements break it down into nano form, thus releasing tons of toxins. These toxins are then eaten/absorbed by marine life that eventually end up on your dinner plate. So not only are we dealing with huge pieces of plastic but also tons of microplastic. It’s also causing havoc for our marine life (sea turtles and straws, marine life thinking plastic bags are jelly fish, etc). This doesn’t do the problem justice but at least it gives you a tiny taste of why eliminating as much plastic as reasonably possible from your life is so important. Or at the very least, raise awareness amongst your family and friends. *If anyone is interested, Amazon, Etsy, and Package Free Shop all carry plastic free items!* For anyone boycotting Amazon, the last two are great places to start. Or you can search on Amazon and then go to the products actual website to purchase. If using Amazon, be aware that they ship all of their stuff in plastic. So if you’re ordering, try to compile them into one shipping package. You can also go meat-free a few days out of the week. (Excessive packaging) Factory farming is also a HUGE contributor to global warming. Either way, the most important thing is to educate yourself. Tons of great resources out there. Even if you think you can’t make a difference, you can! It’s called collective change. *If you’re still interested in more information, there are tons of great resources out there.* -5 Gyres -The Ocean Cleanup -The Ocean Conservancy -Instagram -Google (or Ecosia- they plant a tree whenever you use their search engine) the GREAT PACIFIC GARBAGE PATCH!

Is Vice Asia just re-uploading videos from the main Vice account?

i honestly wish i lived near those stores with refills. I feel like LA is a true paradise when it comes to living this lifestyle. At least according to most vids about environmental friendly stuff

I love the commitment. If you’re going to do something that extreme, have a plan and a purpose behind it. She does.

She cute though

Seeing her fridge makes me so happy. I'm still struggling to find a local store/farmer who sells bottled/refillable milk. The good thing though is I have less plastic in my fridge than evaaa

Gosh! Stevie is not only drop dead gorgeous, but personable & incredibly sociable!! What a lovely lady!💗

One beautiful woman in & out. Such an inspiration!

Would love to see more zero waste videos from vice ! We need this in 2020 more than ever !!

Reload. Seen before. Maybe an update on this video?

Stevie's appearance and some of her mannerisms remind me so much of Emmy Rossum (Fiona Gallagher)

I had so much fun watching this video. I don't think I could do zero waste but yeah, I'll try to minimize the plastics I use.

It's another level of minimalism

God bless the Stevies of this World! And really everyone can do something, even something as simple as not using straws can have a huge impact over a life time.

Freezing the compost till I bring it outside. That's a smart idea especially in summer. Thanks.

The best way to start a zero waste is in stores. So that you are mandated to bring your own container. Right?

So funny that this seems foreign to people. Being conscious of your imprint is the biggest step to help contribute to a better earth tomorrow. Consumerism is seldom brought up when it comes to a green agenda and realistically that is the biggest issue. It's amazing how much better you eat and take care of your health doing less waste. Most packaged foods are garbage anyways. Hope it inspires and helps someone but this is like common sense 101.

Wow!! I am impressed with this. I wish I had the fortitude and mental integrity to keep up the path. I love better than before but I still waste way too much. This is cool, so so cool!

Thank you, what a beautiful and useful video.

Omg Stevie is a cutie and smart too.

Shout outs to mycelium

When zero waste becomes soooo connected to your own physical trash that the huge emissions from flying is not the centre concern but the plastic packaging at the airport... I’m all for zero waste but a to high focus on end consumer waste neglects to notice that behind all trash the supplying company produces 10 times more. This is how 100 companies get by producing 80% of the worlds emissions and trash. Post consumer is the most visible yes but what happens before a product or service gets to us has the most impact, not how it was packaged in its last steppes on the journey!

I want to live this sort of lifestyle someday so bad it seems so cool!!

Zero waste is extreme, I’m fine with low waste.

I wonder how she will fit the fridge, microwave and dishwasher into her litter jar when they break down

Imagine how the world would look like if every person on it would try this hard

It’s great that they also live in a place where amenities like composting and recycling bins are available. My city doesn’t even recycle glass!

I will continue to be as low-waste as I can. Being the change you wish to see in the world serves as a witness to others about how one can live differently. While it's true that corporations need to take more responsibility, we control the market, and your dollar is a vote. If everyone stopped buying an item, you can bet it would no longer be in production. We need to have accountability for everything that we have control of as individual consumers if we expect corporations to do the same. Continuing to make convenience purchases in plastic is not a valid excuse this day in age, as we are constantly being bombarded by the reality of global warming. Take your dollar, go vote for the planet, believe in the ripple effect, change the world.

I will try this !!!!

Great video ✌️

This woman reminds me of Sadia from Pick Up Limes 🧡 The page that started it all for me.

Over 2 yrs ago I watched videos of similar "influencers" and thought it was completely unattainable but now I'm well on my way towards Zero Waste lifestyle. It truly is easier than it seems. Please look into it!

Huge respect

She looks very healthy

THIS IS AMAZINg!!!!

ah yes, this is the content i signed up for when i subscribed to a channel called "Vice Asia"

I love her jeans!

the only thing im not really in for is the one-in-all soap thing which she uses both for her hair AND the floor? i dont think this is doable for some people with more complicated hair routine

I do a little but not 100 % Zero-Waste yet. It's a challenge but I have improved. At first a lot of thought goes into remembering and thinking things through (mentally exhausting) but now I do steps without even thinking about it. I'm not perfect but I'm improving

That is an important topic

We should do it...is the only way to save the planet...we need to work on it..we are too lazy we want everything packed and in bottles! Why?if we can do it ourselves?

cool video

Low waste/low buy here. Easy start tips for everyone who is interested. You can begin with stopping shopping fast fashion, avoid plastic, buy second hand, buy ecological packages instead of plastic ones, make your own diy stuff, stuff like beans, lentils, rice, pasta can be easily found in ecofriendly packages. Also fresh produce such as vegetables and fruits are good.

Bagusnya

Most people think it’s all or nothing. But small changes REALLY matter. Even just bringing ur own mug makes a difference :)

Did she say "mushrooms" are the reason she went full on hippie? Makes sense, they can be a very magical life altering experience.

Start by making small changes, any small change is a good start. It's a shame because I've seen so many uk supermarkets which charge a little extra for loose vegetables, whereas the ones in plastic packaging are cheaper. Yes we can do our bit but it's the big corporations who need to make changes

We've cut down on buying stuff a lot too, but I hope people realize that end consumer packaging often only accounts for 5% of a product's footprint. And glass bottles take more gas to transport less product.

Didn’t they all ready upload this?

I have a bamboo toothbrush too!

A cool video. I really enjoyed that. I am trying to be zero waste. It's a challenge:). No way back now:).

These two girls would form a beautiful couple..

Someone please ask her about her amazon packages. I’m very curious to know how she avoids it all

In 1983, I made a lifetime commitment to ZERO-WASTE by making the decision to get a vasectomy "for environmental reasons." Now 63 years old, I feel that single remarkable decision will forever nurture stewardship into humanity's one-and-only biosphere... Lifeboat Earth.

I plan to live this lifestyle, but there are things that I will not make myself and stuff. I would rather get the top of the line stuff like Oral-B products and stuff. The main thing would be shopping for me

Damn these two are vibin' hard.

Goals. Not at her level yet, but I'm getting there!

I have noticed she doesn't have kids. She didn't mention her period or people with health issues, disabilities, wear adult diapers etc. She's doing her great part, but I think more has to be done in government legislation of how companies manufacture goods to begin with. Give us less packaging, stop making plastic bottles etc.

Not gonna lie, I was expecting crazy stone astrology lady, but she actually seems pretty reasonable

It'd be great if people thought the same of human lives.

So let's talk about how toilet paper and where it goes afterwards XD

Good on he. 👍hopefully One day.....

This was posted a long time ago

Porch light on in the daytime perfect example of waste

I like ur hair :)

Mother Earth applauds her

I like the idea of it more than the actions

I just brush with a brush and water.

Little by little think most people can, i liked it and I wouldn’t be turned off by it. I think its pretty cool

I just think about the trash from ONE Starbucks and I'm like well maybe not today.

I like her

Not as indepth as I thought this video would be ... maybe could've showed some products she still chooses to buy (or how to deal with all the waste-products we have before going zero waste during transition to 0 waste)

Aww this is definitely pre covid.

this is the girl that mens need..she's not materialistic like most people on earth..

Damn she is "future"...... Awesome

this is an old vice video, why would they reupload??? @vice whats up?

Yeah, like spending a day with her is really showing you her true reality. I'd like to live with her for six month or a year and than see if she truly lives zero waste like. BTW: check this out: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ereHaNpq3qe7l3k.html

This lifestyle is unreachable by made middle-income families. The bulk store nearest me is about 45 minutes away and it's expensive. I'm mixed Black and my hair requires special products not available at bulk stores. Also, I work to sustain my family and it's hard to make time to prepare all my products at home. I do my best at getting things packaged in glass and try to get recycled toilet paper. And also, after visiting Germany in 2000 and seeing that people using the stores' plastic bags where charged at least .25 Euros for them, I started using reusable bags and that has never stopped since then, with the exception of pandemic delivery and drive up.

Wonder how this is going for her with covid regs....

they both cute fr

Love to see what stevie no waste was like before

why is this on Vice Asia??

I feel like the interviewer and her should swap. She’s got so much energy the interviewer seems “too cool”

I swear I’ve seen this... *wtf*

Rich industrilist: damn we are going to get broke.

Why they showing New York in Vice Asia lmao
