I hope you liked this video! These are what I would consider *big tips* as opposed to the smaller more detailed tips I generally give so it's a bit of a different video for me. Please give it a thumbs up if it was helpful or send it to a friend 💕 ALSO, leave any video requests you have below!

I think a wise person once said, “You can’t do all the good the world needs. But world needs all the good you can do.” ;) I’m glad you’re not trying to be perfect, you’re a great role model how you are.

"Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without. " It's amazing how many resources, especially money, are saved by following this little rhyme. I've also made it a point to train my mind to look at something I'm throwing out and ask myself if I have another use for it. A lot of the time I do but sometimes I just don't.

I actually double-dip with my climate offsets! I pay Go Climate Neutral for a full offset every month, but then I also pay Tree-Nation $11 every month to plant enough trees to absorb my calculated output. Thanks for the video!

This is a baby step, but buying used stuff has been a big one for me - and it's also really accessible since it's cheaper than buying new clothes/furniture/whatever - sometimes a LOT cheaper.

Buying quality wardrobe staples instead of trendy fast fashion clothes has been the biggest step for me in becoming a more conscious human.
It really makes me think before I purchase an item, because each piece is now an investment.

My tip is buy local, support your neighborhood and entrepreneurs in your area. Great video!!!

Someone suggested to write the date down on the product so when it’s finished, you know how long it lasted.

i used to buy a lot of stuff (esp. makeup and stuff like that), but a while ago i set myself the rule that i can only buy something new if i've used up the older products and because of that i've been buying a lot fewer things - also i rebuy products that i've used and liked before instead of trying out new stuff all the time, because as you said, if you love something you own, you will want to reuse it all the time :)

Using Period underwear and the menstrual cup was the best change I have ever everrr made! I was motivated by wanting to reduce my waste but i have now find they’re so much more comfortable and easier etc 💖

[TheLeopardBrightsky]

I appreciate the honesty about not being perfect. I do what I can, but a busy lifestyle while I'm in grad school means I don't have time to search for some food package free, etc. I do what I can and that's enough for now!

[anatkoren]

the smooth transitions in this video are *chefs kiss*

Keeping track of how long you have had certain things is such a smart idea! Never thought of it like that before.

I've never been interested in clothes/fashion so I've always bought cheaper stuff just because I don't care but I've come to realise quality over quantity is sooo important and it makes me appreciate the more expensive things I buy more. Less really IS more, who knew ;)
Yet another lovely video Shelbi, I'm so happy I found your channel! :)

[sabrinatolppi]

As a teenager attempting zero waste I love love love your videos! I’m lucky to have parents that are already pretty good at recycling, composting, and reusing. We’re all pretty willing to make swaps and try out new zero waste alternatives. Thank you for being such an awesome resource for being more sustainable. I love your realistic approach so much (yay for no intimidating mason jar of trash)! Keep being an inspiration!

[scminor]

Consuming less in general and realizing what I really didn't even need. Less to worry about and less to buy!

[StrollingThroughLife]

I’m all for quality over quantity 100% of the way. It’s crazy how much I used to shop in comparison to now. Great video, Shelbi!

[paperigangsta]

about the quality activewear topic, i've completely fallen in love with lucy & yak's recycled polyester leggings (&also their other products, what an amazing quality overall), they're best piece of activewear i've ever owned! i have a hard time finding pants that are high waisted enough and don't fall down and these are t h e answer!!

[luizotavio]

One thing that changed my life forever is making my own soap with coconut oil. I use it in the shower as a body soap and as a shampoo bar, I know exactly what ingredients are in it, it has no smell and it makes me more conscientious about how long each bar lasts. Plus, my skin and my hair now look AMAZING!

Thanks for telling me about this organization! As someone who takes their carbon footprint seriously I still know there are ways I can improve but I don't always have the time or, honestly, the energy to do so. As of today I'm a proud to say I'm climate neutral. Thanks again and love the content!

[jazminjoyce]

Good time for a carbon offset sponsorship. We are moving into a house soon, we are planning on getting a lot of things second hand but there are a few things we are choosing to buy new that that a really bad footprint and it's been stressing me out a bit. Going to look into offsetting the move and items we are going to buy
