I have had my metal bottle for 10 years now. It's dented and the red paint is mostly off . People keep saying I should get a new bottle because this one is ratty looking. So far all the other bottles I have tried just aren't as nice and reliable as this one (I got all of my bottles free and donated or gave away the ones i didn't like). I say that the point of having a reusable bottle is to use it until it is finished, not by how nice it looks. And that is what I am determined to do

Hey 👋 I just wanted you to know that YOU and only YOU were the ONE person who inspired me to live a more zero waste lifestyle. I’m still in my early stages. But I want you to know that I was a person who used styrofoam plates EVERY day, paper towels EVERY day, plastic groceries bags EVERY week. Since subscribing and watching videos you’ve recommended- I haven’t bought or used this for any of those things in MONTHS!!! I now use cloth towels for cleaning and napkins. I use my actual dishes to eat off of. I have several reusable bags now. I buy the bananas that are singled out. I just bought my first box of soap nuts and I plan to have a water filter installed soon so I no longer have to buy a 40 pk of bottled water every two weeks from Costco. All that to say you have definitely made an impact on this wife and mama of 3 school aged kids to live a more zero waste lifestyle. I will continue to progress in this and tell people about your channel so they can make a difference too!

I 10000% understand what it feels like to be the outcast and the “weird environmental freak” sometimes it feels really bad to be the one that is “frowned upon” but now I don’t let it get to me. I am 16 years old and I have already done so much to make change and you have had a huge influence on me throughout this journey. I am the president of an environmental club and I do my best to educate students and teachers about current situations. I have a petition going around to ban styrofoam lunch trays in my school district and NPR wants to interview me! I got into contact with the Secretary of state’s Secretary and she said it could even be a STATE-wide ban. I have TONSS of kids trying to bring me down by saying I won’t do anything and nothing is going to change, but I have HUNDREDS of supporters. I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me on this journey. You may not know it, but you have definitely convinced WAY more than 201k people. I just want to give you a big long hug even though we live hundreds of miles away from each other.

As an Italian living abroad the bidet is such a delicate subject.. kinda felt lost when I realised I wasn't going to find it anywhere.. I miss it so much! 😂 My trick rn is always trying to rent a house where the toilet bowl is just next to the shower/bath so I can grab the diffuser and use it right on the bowl... Which means I don't even have to flush the water sometimes.

I honestly love that you show us the plastic sundries in your house. So many zero-waste influencers either hide these or have definitely thrown them all out and replaced them with brand-new glass and metal pieces just for the ~aesthetic. It's so unrealistic in any other scenario. People in their mid-20s and older don't have magically plastic-free lives and houses before starting their sustainable journey. The fact that you show us how you genuinely re-use these things and do your best with what you have is real-deal sustainability.

I remember being a kid and getting yelled at for trying to recycle because my dad was worried about bugs getting in the recycling. I also remember being in college and trying to start an environmental group and only having 2 people who would support it but would take recycling myself to the local recycling plant every other week. Now I have found a partner who supports me and all my crazy environmentally friendly ideas. It takes time and it's an uphill battle, however each time that I go outside in the spring and hear birds sing with green grass and clear skies I know it's all worth it. Keep doing what you are doing. We got you

My journey to less waste started when my daughter was born, I started sewing cloth diapers to save money, but out of that was born also access to knowledge about the environment. Around the same time I think my grandma gave me a magazine that just happened to feature Bea Johnson and a section on zero waste home. I was amazed, and quickly became enthralled with doing everything I could to reduce my family's waste. I was composting, sewing diy bulk bags, made menstrual pads, got straws, made beeswax wraps, etc. I did a ton of diy cleaning and beauty products, and I loved it! But then life happened and I had my second son born with a congenital heart disease. Every day was more than I could bear, my family separated, I was back and forth from the hospital, we lived in survival mode, we were transferred to Chicago for him to get a transplant and we ended up loosing him. It took me a long long time to get out of survival mode, and right now we've had another son, so we are a family of 4 on one income. I am just now (6 years after the loss of my son) getting back into my zero waste habits, and while I kept up with a lot of them, I have also made some other wasteful choices that I know I need to do better with. You're the reason I am able to get moving again on zero waste, it was really hard for me to do before and I think you have a good level headed view of saying do the best you can and it's ok to not be there yet, just keep moving forward and making better choices. I started at a sprinters pace with zero waste, but now I feel like I'm settling in for the marathon. Thanks for caring and inspiring! Much love!

Alright so hear me out! My husband and I started the Dave Ramsey budgeting system (it’s pretty popular in churches, if you’re familiar... this is beside the point), and I’ve found that when trying to save money, I’m much more conscious about sustainability. So many of these things not only conserve water or other resources, but they conserve money as well! A water bottle may be more up front, but it’s a one-time purchase. Sustainable clothing may cost more up front, but it’s better quality and lasts for years if you take care of it. I truly believe that if people realized how much money they were throwing away with consumerism, more people would be implementing many of these swaps. Off my soap box now... carry on... 🌻

Even more beginner than thrifting: shopping at resale shops like plato’s closet or other places that actually pick through the items and choose things that are good quality and usually “in style.” They often sort things by the type of item and size and sometimes even the color too. Way less intimidating for beginners especially of the younger age.

I find that if you do the leg work for them people are often more open to your ideas. In the UK you have to pay for a recycling service for businesses, so what's your local cheapest one? The main waste an office produces is paper, your office should have a shredding pile bc of GDPR laws (if in europe), see if you can have an extra bag added for general paper waste and plonked somewhere obvious. Don't be afraid to phone up for a quote (in the UK it was like £6 per big bag of waste) and get the numbers togethee. Then, grab whoever would have to organise it I.e. the person on the front desk/the one who runs the office happenings etc. And be like "how much of a pain in the arse will this be for you? How can I help out?" Bc it's all very well and good having the big boss on side, but the person who has to do it won't appreciate being given an extra task. Then, pitch it to the big boss. It'll cost X amount for the company, but it'll make much more of an impact to Y, and you can link it into Z company values. (Big Bosses are supposed to believe in corporate BS). If they want extra funding, do a bake sale or something. A lot of people are concerned with the planet and totally overwhelmed with how to fix it so don't bother, but if you give them a plan then they can go yes/no/yes but can we do this instead? The only thing you have to lose is time, you got this, I believe in you! ❤

You helped me see all the ways I can be doing better. Like mentioning not cutting through grass, which I've now stopped doing. And I just wanted to say that i am so thankful that you were weird and stood out from the crowd and followed your heart. What you are doing is so important and I'm so glad you stuck with it and I'm inspired to be weird, too.

I got closer to see what she was doing or try to understand why. Another employee asked her why she was chopping them up and she said the bouquets were old and she didn’t want the homeless to dumpster dive and sell them to people. It hurt my heart because I think people should be allowed to resell something from the dumpster. If they do this to flowers, now imagine what they do to food. Sad.

Hey, Shelbi! More of a silent viewer, I have commented here only once before. I just wanted to say that you are amazing. Your vibe, efforts, passion and information are magnificent. I had been eco-conscious and making an effort for many years with many things. However, when I got into KZfaq and, subsequently, found you, you inspired me even more with your passion. Having grown up in India, I have seen the boom in disposables' use there, some of which could still be avoided. The information and the awareness you generated strengthened my beliefs, made me more aware, motivated me even more and made me look for ways that I could do more. Since migrating to Canada your tips have helped even more! And you make it feel as though we are not alone! And so much kudos to you for turning me to bunz! It has been so much help here. The information and the awareness gained through you has been abundant. Your videos (everything that's you in there) (with bonus guest Madison!) are always a gift. P.S. Water was the norm in India. I used a bidet with maybe a square or two to dry. Here, in a rented place, there's no bidet (Boo!) but I still use water and a bit of toilet paper to dry off. P.P.S. While using bunz here, one of the first bunz that I met turned out to be a follower of yours well! Coincidence or what! P.P.S. If you ever come to Toronto, I would absolutely love to meet you! You are a star indeed.

No Shelby, thank you! I started my journey several years ago when I was in high school and didn't work back then, so I had no money to buy the swaps I needed. I had to ask my parents to do so for me, and they never understood so they never did. So I had to ask for things like a bamboo toothbrush for my birthday. Back then I also talked about the importance of these types of topics with my friends, but they also didn't ever do a thing about it. There are no thrift shops were I live, just some flea markets that are around a certain day a week. Zero waste shops are a new thing in my city (they've been for just about two years tops), and there's only 4 right now, and they just have the basics. Lush is also new here, it's been for 11 months now (used to work there). So, what I'm trying to say is: I always felt weird being so invested in these topics and having no support, but several years ago I found your channel and felt at home. I love how you make people interested in this and are still flexible about it, unlike others who make it seem you have to be literally 'zero waste'.

I just want to say that you have made such an impact on my life. I have learned to view the way I shop and consume differently. I look at labels, question if I need something, rarely buy anything clothing new, and make my cleaning solution from your recipes. Thank you for being such an amazing inspiration.

I just stumbled upon your channel and watched this video and, what can I say, I think I love everything about your videos and your mission. I'm hooked and need to watch everything. I am already between beginner and advanced on my sustainability journey, and I'm grateful that you're inspiring me to go further. It's always such a wonderful experience to "meet" someone like-minded!!!

I just found your channel and damn -- you're such a light on this earth and I love you already 💚💚 I've been on this journey too for 6 or so years, and I've let go of progressing as I let myself lower my standards of what I do for the earth to increase my self love and yady yada... but I'm ready to go full force again and do the best I can for earth 💚💚 Don't feel you have to apologise for crying dude I totally feel you and relate so friggin much! Thank you for inspiring me already, and for all the help/resources I know I'll find through your channel. Peace + Love 💚💙💛

Hi Shelby! Thanks for your video. Just to share my experience. I'm at an advanced level and my boyfriend is not even trying.. But we made an agreement and we've just ordered our new bidet. We made the direct swap into this because we don't have sustainable toilet paper easily accesible in our area ( south of France ). It's going to be something ^^

Oh my gosh I felt your emotions so much at the end I can understand how it just makes you so happy that people are starting to understand. In the last past two years I’ve been on this journey of doing more minimalism then trying to be more nicer to the environment it really helps me in my day-to-day life minimalism makes me feel free Last past two years or so now when I clean my home honestly I do vinegar and a little bit of soap hot hot water and it goes a long way makes everything sparkle make sure everything so clean and I don’t have to worry about headaches I don’t have to worry about funky chemicals just feels fresh and clean .

I swapped to reusable pads I got off Etsy a few months ago and I LOVE them. I haven't had to buy tampons since, and they're comfortable and easy to clean.

Thank you for this video! I have been watching your videos for a while and for earth month(!!!) I'm rewatching a lot of your videos! As someone who doesn't have much access to earth friendly in-person stores, I do want to mention, that Walmart is now selling a lot more eco friendly products. Things like organic cotton pads & tampons & so many more things! Thank you for all that you do 💕

You made a difference to me. I pretty much quote you everyday. I am making swaps one at a time and encouraging those around me to do the same. Still everyone points out what I’m not doing right.... but I can’t do all good the world , but the world needs all the good I can do.

I LOVE YOU! this was so much help! I live in an apartment with 5 people right now and it can be very difficult to manage all of the waste around me. I am moving into my own house with my partner this coming fall and a lot of these tips make me very excited to live as waste free as possible. I know it will feel soooooo good. Im proud of you too! i hope i reach your level some day.
