You can use the plastic straw to keep necklaces from getting tangled while traveling

I love how honest you are and how you don't try to portray yourself as perfect. You are my favourite low waste/ compassionate living vlogger. Thank you for sharing. I have been feeling disappointed in my results from plastic free July. I have realised that I can't suddenly change overnight. I do better when I break down my goals into small achievable steps. I am not plastic free but slowly switching plastic out of my life one item at a time.

[brejacks]

Your hair has been looking incredible!! So glad you're embracing your natural curls... So inspiring!

[jayne]

At the start of plastic free july I was inspired to do something out of my comfort zone, so when I ran out of shampoo I decided to try out a shampoo bar from lush and I took my own tupperware to put it in. I approached the staff member at the till and really politely asked if it was ok to put it in my tub to avoid the unnecessary sticker and paper packaging and she (obviously) said yes! We had a small chat and I think I maybe got her thinking about waste too! Something I would normally be too scared to do, but I'm glad I did it as it was a bit of a confidence boost.

One thing I'm really glad about is that in australia, all cafes with a form of running water have to fill up your bottle if you ask.

Also the source is brilliant!! So proud of the aussie brand 😊

[lindatait]

I love how happy and positive you are right now! The message is getting through, even my 85 year old Dad asked me how to recycle his Costa cup. We go for coffee every week but this week he was under the weather so I took coffee to him. I used my Hydro Flask but had to get his Chai Latte (yes, he’s a cool 85 year old) in a take out cup. Fortunately Costa will recycle so we’ll take it back next week (he’s feeling much better now 👍). Hearts and minds are changing. Keep on keeping on xxxx

In Australia we have a tv series called the war on waste. It is intense how plastic straws and e waste are killing our planet. Not sure if other countries can find it on the net but it is worth a watch 😊 #banthebag

You and Blue have inspired me so much on my plastic free journey. Some things are very difficult here in parts of the USA. Bulk is so hard to come by. I envy your stores in Britain and other parts of Europe. Europe seems to be more on board with the movement. I count the successes more than the failures. That is what keeps me and my family going. I think if everyone visits their local dump, they will be moved to action. It was a turning point for me. I was overwhelmed with the enormity of waste. I try to inspire others, even though I am not completely successful every day. It’s a goal. Love what you are doing. Love your videos.

[Zunaira]

Beautiful video love ❤️ I deeply admire how transparent and honest you are with yourself and your low impact lifestyle. This is a motto I feel we all need to see to really grasp the low impact mindset and way of living.

Much love from your waste free babe in California.

Who puts straws in wine glasses!? That was shocking to me, but I appreciate your honesty and talking about the struggle. I think it’s not about being perfect but about attempting each day to make progress.

[LooseLeafLiving]

Honestly, I think it's more than ok to buy a plastic water bottle when there aren't any other options, and when it's necessary to keep you healthy. We're human and we can't be perfect. Especially, like you mentioned, when supermarkets, restaurants, etc aren't doing their part. Thanks for sharing your experience with this!!

[yasminfragomeni]

Hello! I thought I'd share something since I am from a developing country. I am so proud to say that there are lots of online shops on eco-friendly living starting their businesses this year! I've already found 3 online shops and 2 local shops that even metion zero-waste, and it made me so happy to see awareness spreading even when there's economic hardship! Also I'm so proud of you and what you are doing! Thx for everything <3

[TheLaNadine]

I've been self-isolating because I don't want to contribute to this coronavirus pandemic (as much as i can help it at least) so I've been spending my extra time at home researching into this. I thought I knew some stuff, this isn't the first time I've looked into living more sustainably, but I have learnt so much in just a few days. I'm pretty sure the average person out there has absolutely no idea about the extent of how much we need to all be aiming to live as low waste as possible. I think I've found my true calling, I don't think I've ever felt so motivated and excited about anything like I do with this. Thank you for inspiring and spreading the message! What you do is important work!

[airari]

BTW, If you don't want to throw a plastic bottle away, but don't want to use it for water consumption, you can always use it to store some detergent or softener or soap in a more pour-able/manageable quantity than the bulk packaging might allow.

[jackieisupsettispaghettiwi]

I just wanted to say thank you for posting these videos! They have been super helpful and inspiring!

[anjelica]

there's a great store called FareShares in Elephant and Castle that's a community not-for-profit project that has bulk bins, lots of teas, and some other eco-related stuff. It's not entirely plastic free, and is pretty small with only a few opening hours but it's been going for years and years and is so great! no permanent staff so you just add up and weigh products yourself -- it's got a really nice atmosphere and could definitely do with some publicity! not sure where you are in london but it might be closer than chiswick!

[melodyberube]

Thank you for making these videos. You're really inspiring, do not doubt that. I am really happy that the efforts you make in your work are effective and that it seems to make you happy. Of course, we do not know each other, it's the whole thing about the online community, if I may say it that way, but I appreciate what I know about you. I've been watching your videos for a while now, but I think today is the first time I've realized how great what you're doing really is. What I mean is that right now, I feel like I'm not reaching all the expectations I've set for myself, but looking at this video, I found the spark that I had in me that motivates me.

I want to thank you for making your content available, because it reminds me how important my journey also is. Let's say this is how I return the favor.

[plasticfreejulychallenge]

Thanks so much for taking the challenge and for being part of the solution!

[-scrub]

I think that all of your videos are so eye awakening! You've helped me realize how much we waste and how devastating it is for the environment. Thank you so much for these! My journey in a waste free lifestyle has started because of you :)
