Letitia, you are such a breath of fresh air! This marie-kondo craze is great and all but people are just deciding to throw everything out, but the ultimate solution is to be more resourceful with what we have and stop impulse buying everything! lol

[clalyrics]

we should ALL be living like this!! it would benefit everyone & the environment, I'm not sure why this type of lifestyle isn't seriously enforced.

[sysabel]

Can this be a series please? Would love to follow along your low-impact living journey! I'm in the process of transitioning to a more sustainable lifestyle as well heheh

A bubble tea straw! I was just talking about them the other day. I've never seen a reusable bubble tea straw before. I just decided to keep and wash one out last time I bought bubble tea.

love this, most "living sustainably" videos are just someone talking to the camera, it is really nice to see what you do and also love the DIY stuff! I will for sure implement this in my own life.

I love the idea with produce bags! Such a great way to repurpose nets

[nomaichi]

after the folding of the curtain, i had a lightbulb moment because it registered that it was mesh. brilliant! you can even use it as a laundry bag for delicates (which is what i immediately thought)

[danixoxo]

I love the idea of using those curtains for produce bags. Totally gonna make some.

[allisonwatts]

Also, changing your search engine to Ecosia is more sustainable!

[TiredJaded]

Love the tip of making the sheer curtains into produce bags. I have a bunch of these curtains (I used them as a canopy/curtains around my bed until I saw a HUGE spider hanging out on them).

[grimeldasnodpocket]

The thing about turning old mesh curtains into produce bags is genius. I even have an old curtain already I could use. Was originally planning to use some cheesecloth from my stash but that is a much better idea. Thank you!

[nomaichi]

LOLOLOL "not.. that they know that we share..."

[ChelseaAddams]

Wow, the foam soap dispensers are such a great tip that I've never even thought of! Definitely need to print out one of those recycle charts!

[iLilahn]

I've been watching a lot of sustainable videos lately, and what I really enjoyed of yours is the DIYs you made. Starting a more sustainable life doesn't mean throwing everything out to buy plastic free, reusable items, but by using what you already have to move forward. Love the cotton rounds and mesh bag hack! What a great simple way to refuse fabrics.
You should look into DIY wax food wrap! I've seen videos floating around on youtube and they don't seem difficult

[rachelamundsen]

Many bedsheet sets come with a drawstring cotton bag. It can be used for produce shopping.

[xLolitaxRagxDollx]

That DIY tshirt tote and curtain & shoelace-drawstring produce bag are so cool! Could you please post a step-by-step DIY tutorial for how to make those?

[erikablomberg]

My latina mum has been doing the first hack whenever we’re almost out of soap for my entire lifetime

[kristinpothast]

If I hadn't just bought my produce bags I would be racing to the thrift store tomorrow to find drapes! So disappointed I didn't think of that first! What a great idea :) Thanks for all the great tips!

[nathaliesundbye]

This is wonderful! I love the idea of using old curtains to make produce bags. I feel like all the sustainable youtubers tell you to buy brand new produce bags even though the pollution from production means that you have to use it for years before it has a positive effect on the environment. Your idea is also way cheaper! Please keep making videos like this!
