Great. Thank you. I love sustainability life hacks. I used to ride the bike to most places. It gets harder when you have a family but you can make sustainable habits a game with kids. :-)
Longtime subscriber here. Love the illustrated videos and there is a lot of good intention here. However, we can't expect wide adoption of strict self-discipline. Getting 1% of the population to 100% sustainability is not nearly as effective as getting 100% of the population to 20% sustainability through good laws, regulations, and tax incentives. For example, a simple tax on virgin plastic could do magnitudes more to help. I wince when I see people buying cases of bottled water and no amount of discipline on my end can help.
I agree. I am a big fan of Lauren Singer's (from Trash is for Tossers, a zero-waste movement) mentality to this: she doesn't want 1000 people doing it perfectly, she wants 1 million people doing it imperfectly
I couldn't agree more! I didn't mean to sound like everybody should be 100% perfect. This was just a way to share ideas that came to mind as I was reading the book. Thanks for the wise comment. I'm hoping to post videos on the "tipping point" and how legislations have major impacts.
@@learnsustainability I guess we would anyway need this political decision to be supported by at least a big percentage of a population, otherwise imposing unwanted regulation on people would lead people not to support a certain political party or finding ways around these kind of laws, I mean that environmental dictatorship is certainly not a solution, I truly believe that building up habits and internalized ethical values are very effective ways to deal with sustainability .
@@nadiaqtet4694 Thank you for your comments. We never need everybody to change anyway. Tipping point studies show that around 20% of a population is enough to get everybody else to follow.
One of the hardest things for me is biking because I don't enjoy it so much and I live in a mountain town... 😳How about you?
Cleaning rags and towels instead paper towel.
@@shaunaburton7136 Good one! Thanks for sharing.

Cheers! I'm glad you liked it! Absolutely! I also find that every time I can turn habits into a game, they become easier.
Thank you Alex. I will send this link to all of my students as a friendly reminder during their summer break!
Awesome, thank you!
Thanks! Keep up the good work.
Thanks, will do!
Another awesome vid. Love your work.

FYI A new routine takes 21 days to be etablished, probably more if it's somthing that you don't do often.
True! That's why it's important to make it easy and rewarding so we don't drop out before it's become a habit...
Cute
