This is amazing, and I can totally get down with being just G 🌿😎 Although you said my name perfectly 💚 Lots of love kweeen!!
I watch both of you. Love you so much
Hey Shelbi! I emailed you a few days ago about an interview for a paper I am writing. Not sure if you got the message through your site, I know you have been busy, but my professor let me know we need the information soon. I am sending you an email now just in case, if anyone can please like this so Shelbi can see if I would appreciate it so much!!! She is the perfect person for this paper. :)
Did she eventually get back to you?
hope she gets back to you :)
@@greecegreece2022 Yep! My prof loved it.
@@liv5296 Yes! My prof loved the paper. :)
@@miranda266 yay that's awesome!!
A $13 ROOMBA!?!?! The sustainable gods have blessed you! :)
Life changing tip: we all have those clothes that aren’t necessarily dirty, but aren’t really clean either (as some refer to it: “clirty” clothes). What I’ve done is taken a systematic approach to all those clothes and designated an area to storing those clothes in a tidy properly folded manor and every time I get dressed in the morning, I look in my clirty pile first and see what kinds of pieces I can pull from that first. If there’s not enough for a full outfit that I didn’t wear the day before, I will then pull the missing piece of said clothing from my fresh clothes. That way I’m only using what I need and not ending up with massive loads of laundry all the time. It’s also really helped me pick out decent outfits since the clirties usually provide a nice foundation to build from.
I've always procrastinated washing my clothes until they seem truly dirty and have always felt bad saying that as if I'm gross, but I'm glad to know that it's actually a good thing
I do this too!
I do something similar! I have a 6 hook on the back on my bedroom door and my "clirty" clothes go there. I was always too lazy to fold them again! Great new word!
Clirties. I love that!!
I do this too! I have a chair where I lay all my worn-but-not-dirty clothes and if they smell a little, I let them air out on the balcony.
I hope the girl that lost her hairband watches this one day
I’m hoping someday I can have my own house and live the way I want to live, freedom from all toxic relationships. 🙏❤️ your videos are my inspiration and the ones that make me want to not give up, thank you ❤️
This has to be my favorite channel for getting sensible information about sustainable products and lifestyle. I love the way you give us information without making us feel we are ignorant. By the way, what happened to,” You cannot do all the good the world needs,but the world needs all the good that you can do.”? Hope you and Madison are well. Stay safe💚
Thank you so much Lisa! Nothing happened to the quote, it’s on most of my videos, sometimes my Squarespace sponsorships just make me forget 😂
It always feels like something is missing when she doesn’t say that at the end.
Hahaha I know. I was waiting for her to say it and suddenly the video was over and I was like ._. :D
She’s the Queen Of Sustainability 👑
actually i noticed that when you use a sponge or something like that in the shower (i use a mesh sponge i was gifted) you need less product. It all bubbles up (idk if it's the correct word). I wash my entire body with same amount of soap i would use to wash only my torso if i weren't using a sponge.
PS, obviously it depends on the material, a sponge would bubble up more than a piece of cloth
I've noticed that when i use one of those net-ball-sponge things i need way less product
Stunning hacks.
I can confirm you have helped me on my sustainable journey.
One of the switches we recently made was invest in getting a cast iron skillet. They last a lot longer than the teflon coated pans and the food just tastes so much better when you cook on it
Stainless steel pots are way better then the non stick, the chemicals that are potentially used on non stick keep me from purchasing. I use to have one by mistake I put in dishwasher to then i used pot to boil potatoes to find all the non stick coating turn the water and potatoes gray literally particles in the water disgusting
and cast iron skillets!
Been watching for well over a year now, and Shelbi i just wanna say i LOVE how you’ve been editing recently!! your content is so helpful and informative, and beautiful as well! sending love to you and Madison 💕
Aww, I love her so much! Thank you for featuring her and showing us your version of this video.
I absolutely love the idea behind this video! It makes your every day routines and things you use seem so much more tangible to the average person. You have definitely inspired many of my future purchases & things to try from this content!
I've been watching your channel for several months now and have learned SO much during that time, but I feel like I learned so much more just from this one video! Thank you, as always, for the amazing and helpful content.
You're so real Shelby. I like how you are honest about not having a zero waste skincare routine. It is HARD. Some of the natural things just dont cut it. Love your channel. Keep it up
YAYY! I’m so glad you uploaded! I’ve been clearing out my room and trying to upcycle and implement more zero waste habits.
Love this video! I'm making big changes in my life and going deeper into zero waste minimalism so thanks for all the ways you've led the way and shared. I appreciate you
I need to make a diy dishwasher tab (and maybe get my mum to use them too) great video ❤
Just be careful with what you use as some can ruin your dishwasher
@@Amy-ot9sw Ok, I will do some research beforehand. Thanks for the tip !!
Your channel has taught me so much and always brightens my day! Hope you and Madison are doing well!
Lmao pens that you found on the ground. I swear when I would walk by campus. I saw so many good pens and pencils on the ground. I would take them and clean them. That is funny that you mentioned that.
I actually picked up a pen from the street that got ran over by a bunch of cars but somehow still worked just the other day 😂
2:20 Dear Shelbi, I got a pela case for christmas last year because you promoted it so often. I just wanted to thank you for this recommendation. I‘m so happy with it, it still looks brandnew and I dropped my phone several times (just today from door knob height onto the tiling) and still no scratch. Greetings from Germany! 🍪
So cool that you referenced Gittemary! I watch her all the time too. Love the dish brush; I need to get one!
You are truly such an inspiration! So many great tips
All I can say is "YES QUEEN", so much inspo!
Love this short and informative video! Can you do a video on produce routine (how you wash before cooking and/or store them so they last longer)?
I love Gittemary!
I love your videos, your the reason I live a low waste life now x
I love how simple you make sustainable living! A lot of people make it sounds so complicated and it just kind of discourages me from even wanting to try it, but I've changed so much around my house (switching deodorant, using soap nuts, making my own cleaners, microfiber ball, reusable straws, storage bags, etc. Just little things here and there) since finding your channel and I love all of them. Especially the toilet bombs and soap nuts, like how have I never known about these before? 😂 Totally unrelated side note, but I just noticed we have the same dishwasher lol.
I love the drying rack! I plan to get one when we move to our new home.
So many great ideas! Thanks for sharing
Love love love!! Thank you perfect to share
Great vid. I got used all birds for $20 including shipping from some website I can’t recall! I was thrilled they sent them in eco friendly packaging.
Also I’ve been scrapping metal for some extra $ & realized it’s eco friendly to some extent to do so-literally recycling metals.
Love this!! Thanks for always sharing some zero waste inspiration ❤️
Great video! Love the graphics and colours you chose 😊
Love your content you and Gittemary is if my top youtubers 🤩❤
Aw 😍😍
This is great, and so motivating seeing how many things you can do that all add up :D
Wow I just watched Gittemary’s video too!
oh my goshhh your hair gets more and more amazing every video! Like something out of a Renaissance painting!
Oh my god thank you for the compost tip! I've never thought to keep it in the refrigerator...
Loved this! And I love Gittemary’s channel too!
Ahhh I love gittemary thanks for promoting her channel!
Love our second hand Roomba too!!! Run daily for pet hair collection is a must.
Nice idea! You put so much effort in your videos! thank you ! Greetings from Germany 😊✋🏻🌱
GREAT VIDEO, this and the last one were extremely helpful
Loved the video! ❤ I just magically found a pair of allbirds shoes on thredup for $40! I would of course love to support their brand directly, but right now I can't afford the 100$ for a new pair of their shoes. But if I love these as much as I expect to, I will eventually get another pair right from their site.
you are awesome!! thanks for these videos
Every time you talk about your drying rack it smile...in the UK it is normal to air dry clothes not use a dryer :) I love drying my bedding outside it makes it smell so fresh.
I’m not early but I really love your channel and before I saw your videos I didn’t care about all of this sustainability but now I really care about it thanks to you thanks 🙏🏻
I grow my own tomatoes, strawberries and herbs
hey Shelbi, just wanted to let you know that you don’t need to remove your makeup with an oil because Indie Lee cleansers remove makeup and since they’re water-based you can use them twice to double-cleanse at night to really ensure you get all your makeup and everyday grime off.
I’m surprised not flushing the toilet every time didn’t make it in 😅
Hah girl i do that. I have been drinking more and it’s unnecessary flushing that many times.
Watching this back I realized I skipped quite a few things actually 😂
my mum gets so pissed if i don’t flush every time but she doesn’t understand that’s another way to avoid wasting water😂
@@federicacucchetti3792 yeah right, I think flushing should be done when there is a strong smell lol, especially now when we dont have guests also it's not that bad 😂
We decided that since we are potty training, we just dont flush at night.. Between my husband and i we save at least 6-10 flushes which make up for the toddler flushing unnessarryly
When I watched your videos, all the ads would always be for wish. Recently they've been for my favourite Australian sustainable retailer. It's nice to know the advertising algorithm is working :)
Super video!
Can you share some tips and advice for looking for second hand electronics and housewares? Eg, your rumba or drying racks?
Great video and it really highlights how easy it is to lower your waste in an every day life! :)
Sometimes I air dry my clothes on a hanger in my closet. To save on electricity I use fans in my room anyway so if I leave my closet door open the clothes will dry faster.
oh thats a nice format! :D
Love this video! ❤️👍
Luffas are actually gourds you can grow and are sustainable so if you do want sponges or anything use a luffa over a plastic sponge.
They can be eaten when young as well but you just let them dry on the vine then crack and peel off the outer shell and the seeds fall out and voila free sponge made by nature in your own yard!
I'm so glad other people use found hair-ties! Thought I was the only one. :D
You inspired me to try to reduce my waste and at some point to be full zero waste
Hi! Do you have a video or a recommendation for building a rain water collection barrel like yours? Love the plants that are on top. 💜💜
Yes! I have a whole video where we installed it, linked in the description 🤗
Can never forget those stashers!!🥰🥰🤣🤣😍😍😍😍
Can you provide a link to the sustainable floss you use?
can you do a video about your fruit trees?
Great video! Where to do you get your second hand camera equipment from? Thats is an idea i have never thought to look into! Thanks! ❤
💖 G R E A T video !!! Made sustainability more. R E A L !!!
Hi! Love your videos, and wanted to say that you inspired me to do all the good that I can do!))) Can you tell us please how do you clean out the toothpaste tube before recycling it?!
Yes! When I finish this one I plan to put it in one of my DITL videos! Stay tuned 🤗
@@Shelbizleee Cool, cannot wait to see it! Thank you for all of the great work you do!
I forgot about collecting rain water! I need to do that
whats your recipe for the DIY mouthwash?
I love your channel btw!!
I have a soap saver loofah made from bamboo. You don’t necessarily have to give it up.
Could you discuss how you are sustainable when it comes to medications (even OTC stuff like ibuprofen)? I always feel so wasteful with the packaging that comes with medications.
I think the best advice is to recognize that unhealthy habits and not taking care of yourself will often come back to bite you in a very resource-intensive way. Doctor visits, surgeries, hospital stays, even just care you give yourself at home after you've gotten sick, these all demand resources that could have been spared in cases of preventable illnesses you theoretically kept yourself healthy from. So whatever position of health you're in, try to keep yourself as healthy as possible, even if that takes some resources. As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. One example: toothpaste. If you can't find sustainably packaged toothpaste, and you perhaps can't stand diy stuff, it's by far more important to do whatever will help you brush consistently and well. If zero waste habits get in the way of keeping your teeth clean, then the extra measures at the dentist to fix cavities etc. will immediately require way more plastic than you saved in that time.
So, all that said, medications are a great example of necessary exceptions to zero waste habits. Medications could certainly have more sustainable packaging, but it's really not worth sacrificing your personal health in any way in order to save a few pieces of plastic each month, whether preventative or curative health. Remember that personal zero waste habits are actually very very small in terms of controlling the waste in the world. Save waste where you can, don't feel guilty for keeping yourself healthy.
Dude. 77 degrees INSIDE 🤣🤣 bahaha
I live in washington state. We're dying if it gets that hot inside.
That 100 degree texas heat tho... 😆
No kidding! I saw that too and was like ick.. Anything over 74 and its too warm.
what a beautiful house
You're adorable and inspiring. Thanks for what you're doing
How do you cook with residual heat?
Can you please share how you sanatize your hair ties that you find? Thank you!
Have you tried Loop? I was wondering what your thoughts were on it?
I'm curious what you do with the microfiber filter once it's full? Like how do you dispose of all the little things it collects? Love the idea but looking for more info!! If anyone knows, please let me know :)
Hi Shelby ! I am new here and love your channel😊 I was hoping you could do a video on composting for beginners, I would really love to start composting old scraps but live in a townhome w a very small back yard. Any advice you can give for beginners would be awesome !! ❤️
Hi Ana! We’re lucky that we have free curbside composting with the city so we don’t curate our own compost but I do have a video with tips for people living in apartments who want to compost! We used to do them when we lived in an apartment.

Hey love this can you go into detail about that phone case and if it’s shock proff? I have a kid and drop my phone a lot. Also how does that rain water barrel work?
She's got a DIY/day in the life video about installing the rain barrel, I think. Basically it takes some of the water runoff from the roof/your gutters when it rains and just stores it till you need it.
What do you mean by cooking with residual heat?
Do you know what I really want to know? How do you zero-waste your cat? As a double cat mom, I often struggle with this, because toilets and cat-food packaging are always made from tons of plastic. I switched the litter to wooden pellets I can get for almost nothing from a nearby horse ranch but since one of my boys is allergic and has to eat mono protein food it's very hard to go zero-waste with them when they can't go outside. Would love a video on that topic!
Thank you! Do you recall where you purchased your narrow spout watering can?
I found it at Savers!
@@Shelbizleee, thank you!
You should look into getting an outdoor clothes line, in the summer it will dry your clothes so much faster.
I don’t mind them taking longer to not have to outside as hot as it is here 😅 it’s a lot more convenient and I already have this
I need to see a video about how you collect and reuse your rain water
I’m not sure what you mean? The rain water goes into the barrel and I water my plants with it. What more could I say?
Do you know if there are any eco-friendly nail polishes that are actually opaque?
Also, my menstrual cups use a special soap that comes in a plastic tube. Are there any plastic-free soaps that are good for saalt cups?
I've been wondering about nail polish too...but I figure the most eco-friendly option for me is using up the ones I already own. I hope Shelbi addresses that question sometime!
Residual heat works great on cast iron. And you get some iron to boot.
You should collab with gittemary ✨💕
Plastic free floss?!?! Omg looking now.
Hi! Would it be possible / interesting for you to make a video on sustainability trends and preoccupations that were big in the past, but which have faded away more recently? I was just thinking about the big push for banning aerosol cans 20ish years ago. Did they change them and now they're not as bad? Did we figure out that they weren't as damageable as we thought at first? As far as I can tell they're still widely used, but no one talks about them anymore. Anyway, maybe there are other eco-trends like these that might be interesting to dive into. Just a suggestion :-)
Jambon mostly, the chlorofluorocarbons used to propel the product (that’s what caused the damage to the ozone) has been replaced by a safer substance or they have a different delivery form altogether. And it worked! There is still a major ozone hole over the South Pole-ish ( or thought to be caused by chlorofluorocarbons), but another one actually closed. That happens a lot. For instance, endangered animal laws do save the species and no one loses their job. We should celebrate these things more. Thanks for asking about it.
Hi Shelbi! I love your videos 💜 Do you have any advice for indoor plants and cats. I've seen that there are a lot of toxic plants for them but I notice that you have many diferent types. I want to start getting some indoor plants but I'm worried for my cats to get sick. 🌱🐈🐱🌿
It looks so simple .....
A fountain pen with a plunger is the most eco friendly way to write. A quality pen will last two lifetimes. Plus it’s pretty.
Yeah! A video I lately talked about. Thank you! Also: any thoughts on zero waste tattoos? I know it doesn’t really exist but is there any way to minimise the impact? Besides the company you talket about where you can offset your co2 footprint which I’ll start to do as soon as I got a job ☺️
Gittemary has a video about this I think!
Love the channel! I'm guessing you're in Austin? Only place in TX that would likely have curbside compost...
Actually when I lived in Austin we did not have composting. I live in San Antonio now and my friend has it in Houston as well 🤗
Can you compost the stuff from your vacuum?
It probably depends on what you’re vacuuming and how certain you are that it’s all compostable materials. Pet hair is compostable, as well as just general dust dirt or sand that you pick up. As long as you aren’t vacuuming stuff that isn’t compostable I bet you could!
Hi Shelbi, I was just watching a video from a youtuber called Erica Lucas. She is on a minimalist journey and she's starting to go low waste. A lot of people were recommending that she checks out your channel. I thought it would be so cool if you could collab - maybe you could help her make low waste changes? Kind of like you did with your sister, but remotely... Just an idea. Love from the UK!
I live in Texas and my ac is always at 72 . Does it help that I use green mountain energy? 😅 it's supposed to be green energy
