I still have my grandad’s shaving mug. It’s a heavy ceramic mug from Old Spice that he probably got for Christmas long ago with a cake of shaving soap and a brush.
2:22 Kitty was showing us how to bath in a more eco-friendly way lol
Loved the cat cameo ☺️
A lot of those swaps mean it’s easier traveling, too. When you are bringing shampoo/body soap/conditioner/lotion bars instead of the liquids, you’ve massively reduced the TSA bagged liquids.
Also, almost all the products can very easily be made at home too.
Just found your channel. I was enjoying it until I saw the kitty in your arms grooming. Then I really got interested. Thanks for all the great info in a nice comfortable presentation. Gotta love the kitty.
I'm a dog person, BUT... I LOVE YOUR CAT ❤ And, you can actually grow your own loofah! Thank you for this 🤗
Thank you #SaveSoil #Consciousplanet
Great ideas, thanks.
Native was bought out by P&G so I've been looking for an alternative
Glad someone knows about p&g, you can use diy deo or even use a lime!
You could try Wild deodorant if they are available where you live 😊
God damnit. Corporate acquisitions are the worst. They'll probably run an analysis and decide that all the plastic free products have to low of a profit margin and slash the offerings
Wow, another sell out, I’m glad I’m not buying any of that .
@@MsSusieStone Ethique, an eco company, makes deodorant in a cardboard tube. I've used it and it's really good. They have lotion bars, shampoo bars, etc., too.
I had a long hair version of your Torby cat, from the tux to the toes!
I like to joke that I don’t use shampoo, and that I use real poo instead of, also saying that I never settle for a sham. Anyway I actually use bar shampoo, conditioner, soap, and dish soap. I have toothpaste tabs, but I also have several tubes of toothpaste left over from my ex. I am trying to use those up before I completely switch to the tabs; because, throwing things away before their usefulness is used up isn’t really sustainable. I use a bamboo toothbrush and native detergent. I carpool to work and ride my bicycle with a trailer to get anywhere in town. I have started a chemical free community garden in my apartment complex. I use silicone baking sheets. I use powdered laundry detergent. I mow grass using a push reel mower. I cut stubborn grass with a weed wacker, a form of sickle. I even have a solar cooker for cooking on certain occasions. I only use rechargeable batteries. I use leftover dishwater to water the garden. I have four tumble composters set up around the complex. I patch my clothes and those of my neighbors, so they can wear them longer.
Do you have any other suggestions on what I could do to improve?
Wow, this is amazing.
Great tips, Jacob. Another option for deodorant is to go deodorant free. After several weeks, the microbiome in your armpits stabilizes and you don't get a foul body odour. It becomes a natural odour after exertion -- I promise!

Double bruh. That's not how that works lol
I don’t get why everyone makes these. Like how many people can make a version of this video before we realize that some people just won’t choose certain plastic free alternatives and it’s not usually because they don’t know about them but because most people shop regular brands at regular stores. Maybe you and all these others could make a video on how to email the plastic-using brands and beg them to please get rid of their plastic. That might actually make a difference and save everyone money because…. It’s up to the brands to divorce plastic. Some of these things like the toilet paper isn’t a cheap option for some of us that choose cheap and readily available.
This is why I think organized labor is so important. If one consumer at a time is making swaps and sending emails, it's not super strong. But if manufacturing and retail workers that create and sell these products were organized, they could make demands of the brands to make their products more sustainable. Especially in packaging and manufacturing, it would probably make people's jobs safer and less toxic, too.
Agreed, it is up for brands to divorce plastic but we should also request they stop too. I emailed Costco a few months ago and suggested they make a bundle with cardboard deodorant tubes like a set of 6 or something in a non plastic way but they never replied back to my suggestion. I firmly believe though if these zero waste swaps are more seen in the wild, folks will buy it.
Just yesterday I had to get meds for my daughter and at the drugstore they had a shelf of hand-soap in a (what appeared to be paper) carton it was nearly sold out, only two were left. Customers were trying something new and trying to make a better buying choice.
