Great intro! I'm joining the club (slowly, but surely)!

[aclarabarreiros]

Oh my! So glad I stayed 'till the very end for this doggy!!

Excellent video! You definitely explain “Zero Waste” in a way that is easy to understand. You present it more as a goal rather than as strict way of living, which makes it feel more inclusive. I will be sure to share this with family and friends who have questions about “Zero Waste”!

You are amazing!!! I am going to share this information, translating it to Spanish with friends so we all spread awareness. Thank you so so much.

Yes listening to blog post is always easier than reading and it's multi task friendly !

Long lasting: I'm a big fan of the farmhouse look and the rustic warm climate pigmented rough walls (no idea what it's called) look because to me they seem timeless and therefore if I were to be able to be content (a key issue) with either style endlessly, then I will have both more time and resources...versus remodeling, updating style via new minor and possibly major purposes. Choosing a base color (whether it's black/white or another) seems to help me be able to ensure that an item will continue to match even if I change my mind down the road on the style...for this reason I use dark brown, natural brown materials (wood) and so on so that there is more wiggle room until I make a final decision. As a result a wedding gift is still in use a decade later...Rustic looks I hope will work via: scuffing and scratches on furniture and floors simply adds to their charm vs discouragement...someday we hope to have a distressed leather couch in a hopefully timeless cowboy look...despite my preference for all things white...for now we've had Ikea Ektorp couch for years and found the matching ottoman easy to sell for its save used purchase value for example...the couch a bit harder to sell as white...is clearly a challenge (hence slipcover is removeable) versus the alternative knobby Lafollet fabric is more foregiving on spills we've found with our Ikea chairs, unfortunately much of Ikea production is made in a country without freedome of speech or religion

I really need your audio blogs! I love what you do!

[filipinasdailylife]

Thank you so muchhh. I am aiming for a zero waste lifestyle too and this opened my mind to possibilities.

according to what i understand if we use plastic in a designed system that can recycle it again into another product and so on and on we are in a zero watse lifstyle
if we do use plastic and at the end it goes to landlift and piled there for ever so we are no in a zero watse
so the zero waste is about a system and lifstyle not the material itself
am i right

[clinque]

Thank you for your insight. Would love to hear audio of blogs💛

[priyankagadge]

Thx for explaining nicely my teacher didn't explain nicely

[johnrowley]

Yes to audio casts, but bigger yes to video...I like to just have one place to go learn. However, providing a written transcript or main ideas is likely very helpful to those hearing impaired

Sometimes it's surprisingly hard to find a high quality product in the style you want...many fair trade items (that are often incredibly close to what they were made out of) are only made in certain styles. For example: it's easy to find multi colored clothing but it I want monochrome color in a soft cotton with a minimalist modern look...I'm often up a creek, because when I find it it may not: come a color I like, have the neckline/sleeve length/shirt length etc. that I want...however, I guess if we start somwhere the companies and organization can stay in business long enough to diversify their offerings...most recently for years I've wanted a light yellow cotton boat neck long sleeve shirt thick enough not to be see through and to act as a layer in winter but shirt that needs no tank top in warmer months...scoop necklines don't fit me and I don't happen to like v-necks...literally I'm thinking I just need to learn to sew...instead I just choose to wear patterned fabrics I'd prefer not to in order to wear colors I like...and if I find the right cut of fabric I do my best to be willing to try it on despite that it's not a color I like...hoping that maybe, just maybe, I'll like it on me. If I don't like the color and cut and fabric feel of my clothes, then I don't end up keeping them as long and so it's a Zero Waste/Circular Ecnomy/wilderness protecting issue..if anyone out there sews please contact me, I'd like soem short sleeve and long sleeve shirts made from thick light yellow fair trade certified cotton (and a tank top or four)...organic would be ideal too! Boatneck line (high and slightly curved) and fitted (to my waist not boxy)...nothing fancy really, just that light yellow is rarely seen outside of the spring girls clothing section. Alternative colors: white, darkest green, darkest blue...

Great video! I think this will really help people understand what zero waste is!

[kathyquinn]

Yes, good post. Yes I would like audio podcast. It would go well with your overall "brand"

[victorasalazar]

This has been a useful video for my grad school assignments.

It is possible to live zero waste. Put a new cover on your couch. Repaint your own old table Give your old clothes to the poor only if they need it. Repurpose your old clothes to other stuff instead of buying.
I put my trash in jars and i will use the jars to make a new addition of my barn. You can make a garage etc. None of my trash will ever leave my yard ever
