I would just like to say I appreciate the fact you use different settings and places. It's more time consuming and needs more editing. I appreciate your efforts!
Unpaste is now available in the US. They now make a fluoride version. They are tabs, but at least it's packaged in a cornstarch bag and has fluoride. You probably have to buy them online, though.
Bite toothpaste now has a “fluoride” option. It’s NHAP and it acts like fluoride, but it’s a non-toxic alternative. Edit: I just remembered you don’t like toothpaste bits! Sorry!!!
Glad to hear that there’s a nontoxic alternative to fluoride! Fluoride is actually controversial and has been banned in some countries. Though it can provide some good, it can also be toxic! Thank you so much for letting us know!
So glad you talked about sunscreen. I used to work in dermatology and all the patients with skin cancer never wore a drop of it. There's so much waste involved with skin cancer removal!
I use my shampoo bar, conditioner bar, reusable dishes / to-go ware, tote bags for groceries/shopping, shipping mailers or plastic bags from reduced price produce for trash bags (essentially anything mixed material or non recyclable that can hold trash), old eyeshadow palettes I am using up before buying anything new, my compost bin, and so many more items! I am not perfect and have a long way to go but all of these sustainable swaps contribute to more contentment and peace in my life through the mindfulness aspect of it.
A glowing angel of sustainability!👼🌎 Thank you for the info on secondhand tech. I always hear you say you get things second hand but had no idea where to turn. Now I do... and I can finally get rid of some of my older tech that is in good condition but I just don't use anymore. ❤
I'm an environmental educator at a recycling and waste facility, so I preach why recycling is important (and buying things made out recycled materials is important) everyday. So thank you for also spreading that message on your platform!! We get questions on why all recyclables go into landfills waaaaay too often.
Hey, Shelbi! I'm a new subscriber to your channel and I just have to say- I love your content! I am learning so much from you and your videos, and it brings so much joy to my life! I have also been sharing the things that I learn with friends and helping to guide them to more eco-friendly, sustainable, and/or zero waste options. Thank you for what you do and I cannot wait to learn more from you!
I've been waiting for the update on those pots and pans! Glad to hear that they've held up, especially after seeing so many bad reviews. Logically, I know that people are more likely to leave reviews on a site when they're either really happy or really disappointed with something, so it's hard to sift through. I totally agree with cast iron being a Lifestyle Choice lol.
I really liked this video, as a reminder of all the swaps I've made that I unconsciously use now. Bamboo toothbrush, solid soap/shampoo/conditioner, compostable dish scrubber, refillable dish soap etc. Sometimes it feels like you're not doing enough, I still struggle with plastic free veg shopping, but it's helpful and encouraging to have a reminder of how far you've come. Cheers for the inspo!
For some reason, this video made so much more sense than other "swaps" videos from you and others. I think presenting it as you went about your day helped! This was great and I could see myself making those switches so much more--and it's even better that they are every day items, not something I'd only use every once in a while. Please make this a series!!!! I really want a rain barrel for my collection of ~50 plants, but living in Minnesota, I'd have to make sure it's empty before winter!
If you're looking for a fluorite toothpaste, look into the brand Ben & Anna. They come in glass jars and have plenty of flavours to choose from, with or without fluorite 🥰
yes please part two! I'm finally at the point of using up all the unsustainable things in my life and learning where to purchase new things so I'm loving this!
There is a brand called unpaste, which makes both non-fluoride and fluoride toothpaste tablets. I have never tried them, but I've heard some really good things about them!
I am on the look for a toothpaste with fluoride but plastic-free! Please keep us posted, Shelby! Your videos bring me back in alignment with my goals which are to be more respectful to Mother Earth. Thank you for reminding me always, after so much exhaustion with the way the world is, that the world needs all the good we can do! Much love to you, for all you do always! Finding a LGBTQIA+ friendly and inclusive sustainable channel is so dear to my heart as a struggling gay pagan little weirdo. I don't have any friends who care about causes - so thank you for always bringing me back to center. I love your passion! so does my cat who is trying to type on the laptop right now and say hey!
I really loved this. I feel like I'm some cases it's hard to imagine how to work in using more sustainable things instead of what we're used to. It's helpful to see what you actually use consistently.
i use david’s toothpaste and i love it so much!!!!!❤️ and my dad put installed a rain barrel for our garden last year. we use it all the time and we love it!! stay safe😘
A lot of people don't know that you can re-season ceramic pans if things start sticking to them. It's the same basic process as re-seasoning cast iron -- coat the cooking surface with a very thin layer of oil, heat it on the stove to cure the oil, then let it cool. I see so many people complain about ceramic losing it's non-stick surface after awhile.
Really?? Had no idea! I've had a Green Pan wok and a Tefal ceramic pan and they both lost their non-stick properties after a while. Actually, the Green Pan was never truly non-stick, you still had to use oil in it. The Tefal one was, though, which makes me think it was actually coated with something? I'll try to recondition my Tefal pan, although I'm afraid it's too far gone, I've scrubbed it too much because it kept getting food stuck :D The Green wok is long gone, it also miraculously chipped although I've never dropped it or used metal utensils in it, and I was afraid to use it after that. I didn't know what was the white material underneath.
I love green pans! I did see on a video by the brand that they do not recommend putting the pans in the dishwasher. Most negative reviews say they turned sticky over time, but my bet is that is due to the dishwasher. I've had mine for almost 2 years an only hand wash and no issues here!
I am using a shampoo that comes in a stick, in a cardboard box; at first the sensation in my hair was different, but we're getting used to it (I mean, my hair and I). I'm happy to have made this change and looking for many more.
I would love to try pela but I've been able to find a second hand case for my phone whenever i end up getting a "new" phone and i drop my phones constantly so it's nice to have something more heavy duty even if it is plastic
I've had a Pela case for ages now. I dropped my phone down the stairs once accidentally (I'm not even joking) and my phone has never broken. I haven't even put a screen protector on it. I highly recommend Pela. Dropping shouldn't be a worry when purchasing from them.
I started using David’s toothpaste because of you and I’m OBSESSED WITH IT. “Normal” toothpaste tastes so weird to me now. I also got my boyfriend that wireless charging pad and we use it all the time in our living room!
Thank you!!! I'm def gonna check out trade more I still have the original SE 😂 works very well now but I am so happy for a secondhand tech recommendation
Love to see more love for Disc Bound planners! There are tons available - even at Walmart! Happy Planner, Levinger, TUL, ARC.... there are tons and tons, and only getting more popular. They're great
I am a uni/college student and so many of your tips help me save the planet and save my bank account. Just about to subscribe to who gives a crap and I adore your plant collection! Thanks for being so amazing
Btw you can also get the most recent phones second hand if you are into that! I usually use Rebuy (I live in germany) where you can just set an alarm for whichever item/version you want and they'll send you an e-mail as soon as it's available (sooo helpful for buying second hand tech)
I never realized I’ve been using secondhand phones for the past 3 years. I always get my moms old phone when she gets a new one, I’m actually about to get her phone in a few weeks
@@eilis5341 she doesn’t buy new phones every year I would say she gets a new one like every 2-3 years. I messed up the time I meant to say for the past 4 years. I’ve tried to talk to her about buying new ones and she thinks because a phone is secondhand it won’t work properly
I’d love to see how you sustainably grocery shop during COVID! I’ve tried pickup and they won’t not basically triple wrap stuff in plastic. Also, the store I shop bulk at now portions the bulk items in plastic bags. Also, my city back tracked on the plastic bag ban they had just adopted, because of COVID. COVID seems to have been a huge hit not only obviously to humanity but also the the environment. I’d love to know your thoughts!
You’ve really inspired me to be more cautious and careful about what I’m buying, how I’m recycling products and how I can reuse things once they’re done! I’ve just invested in some period underwear and I’m excited to see what 2021 brings! Can’t wait to see more of your videos, love from Ireland ☺️
Video idea possibly... I am a single mom with a very low income. Ive always tried to be more sustainable but I'm really trying to step up my game. But alot of the things you recommend are very high priced. I understand this can be pricey but worth it long term. But some things are hard for me like $30 for a bottle of lotion and $22 for a small bottle of sunscreen. It would be so amazing if you could do a video for cheaper options. I try to research as much as I can on my own. But I do get so many of my advise from you!!! Thank you. One other thing is that I just moved to a city and live in an apartment and they do not have recycling. I have found drop off locations but from what I can see they don't take boxes with wax which are almost all food boxes( I have a huge pile of them I dont know what to do with☺) I just really struggle with what can and cannot be recycled. I have googled this time and time again and I just can't get clear on it. Any help would be great!! Thank you for being you!!
You can attach another rain barrel to the one you have now and then you won't run out of water near as fast! Also in school for environmental science and love your videos over here :)
I love the reusable notebooks! I need things on paper for school because that’s how I understand things best. I wish the refills weren’t in a thin plastic wrapping though :(
What if you made a little shade stand for your water barrel during the days it isn't raining? Keeping it cooler could help keep less water from evaporating.
I’m soooo glad you mentioned Trademore! I need a new (used) phone and am planning on purchasing one with my tax return. Gazelle and Amazon refurbished make me nervous. Like you said, “shouldn’t they all be great condition?!” Lol
So I’ve done planners like that for a while but do you use stickers and if so, are those eco-friendly and if not, what are some sustainable replacements for them?
I got a pela phone case per shelbi's recommendation for not only me but also my husband and they're awesome! We've been using them for over a year now and we drop our phones all the time yet they are still good as new! Highly recommend 👍
THANK YOU for talking about wanting tube toothpaste with fluoride!!!!! I’m completely with you! I recently bought Unpaste toothpaste tabs with fluoride from Well Earth Goods (but if I remember correctly, you’re not a fan of the tabs). Looks like others have mentioned Unpaste as well, so I’d recommend others look into this option, and I think I like them better than Bite! (Granted, it’s been a few years since I tried Bite since I decided to not support them until they came out with a fluoride option)
hi shelbi! i have a question about the plaine lotion (& about refillable products in general) since you said you send it back to the company for them to refill it once you run out, i was curious as to what you do/use during the time that the bottle is being returned and refilled? i know the mail can sometimes take a while to get things sent to and from a company and for refillable products like shampoo or lotion i couldnt imagine going a week (or more) without them while i wait to get the refill back
Hi Shelbi I in need of a new cookware set. Does the green pan handles get hot, like do you have to use oven mitts or towels while cooking. I am so forgetful and need something with a safe handle for myself and kids learning to cook
I really loved the video! I really wanted to try that sunscreen but couldn’t get it since I live in Canada and seems like its not available ;( I have question about dish washing brush. Im currently using sponge to wash dishes and wanting to try dish brush but i’m worried that it might be hard on dish and will have scratches. People who already use brushes, does plate looks scratched? im also looking into silicone sponge but im not so sure if its good for the environment.
Question: how sustainable is cast iron? I’ve had cast iron pans and enameled cast iron pots/Dutch ovens for a while now and they’re all I use. I’ve heard that they can last 100+ years if you care for them well. Not looking to get new cookware unless these break, but just curious what their carbon footprint is like?
I have a iPhone 7+, which has been the only phone that I have purchased new in the past 10 years. I am currently looking for a new phone since it is starting to glitch & lag a lot but I really wanna buy an iPhone 8+. I don’t need a major upgrade & plus my pela case will fit it 😊
Hi Shelbi! I was wondering if you had an opinion or advice on sourcing renewable energy for homes? I just recently found a company called Arcadia and under a subscription with them, they work with electric companies to purchase and retire Renewable Energy Certificates.
I really love this kind of video. Please make more of them! Do you recommend any place that we can buy second-hand computers/laptops? The one you mentioned only sells phones. Thanks so much! -Erica
Hi, haven't tried them yet but I just came across non plastic beach toothpaste tabs. It's a tab, but they have fluoride. I'm excited to see that other people have added some in the comments. I need a new toothpaste and I'm currently shopping.
Okay I have a dumb question that you may have addressed buuuuut how can you determine if a compostable material is suitable for home compost vs only suitable for commercial compost?
I discovered you about 2 months ago and I have literally watched all of your videos! I always talk about you 🤣 I'll be like "yeah, Shelbi was talking about an alternative for that" probably having people think that we actually know each other lmaooooo
Maybe you could check out Tom’s of Maine for fluoride toothpaste! They have a totally recyclable tube now, and they’re a certified B Corp and do a lot of donating to sustainability projects
there is a toothpaste tabs and paste brand called Ben and Anna (Ben & Anna?) here in europe that has a fluoride option as far as im aware! though, that does make it harder for you over on the other side of the water haha
So what would you guys do if your second hand laptop needs a new battery? I bought mine second hand, and now it needs a new battery, but all I could find was companies that get their batteries manufactured in China, even if the company is based in North America (I live in Canada). What would be my best, sustainable option for buying a new battery for my laptop? Asking for advice here 'cause I don't know where else
Shelby I know this is out of topic, but could you explain about Ecosia? I’m considering switching back to Google because I heard that Ecosia gets no revenues if we only use it without clicking on its ads and they use Bing to search. + Google is 100% green-powered. Thanks
phonewise I can highly recommend the FAIRPHONE. it's as ethically sourced as possible, the gold is second hand for example and its MODULAR, meaning if your camera chip breaks or you want a better camera, you open the phone and switch components for a few bucks!!! it's how tech was intended, right? switch, mix and match. just my 2 cents, love you!
I would just like to say I appreciate the fact you use different settings and places. It's more time consuming and needs more editing. I appreciate your efforts!
I agree, this video was both educatively entertaining and pleasing cinematography-wise
Unpaste is now available in the US. They now make a fluoride version. They are tabs, but at least it's packaged in a cornstarch bag and has fluoride.
You probably have to buy them online, though.
You can get these through The Good FIll or Marley's Monsters. I would prefer a paste as well though
I loved this because its not just the "hyped up" eco stuff but things that most people would use daily
Please make more of this series!!!!! Or make it a series if it’s not!!!
yessss!😍
I wish the phone cases were for Android and older gen phones (more specifically the note 9 lol)
I love the case so much!!
Curious what your thoughts are on copper pots and pans? Also I really liked this format for sharing what sustainable swaps actually work for you.
Love how you’ve adopted Hyram’s “every single week” to “every single day “🤣 you’re my favorite online educators!
Bite toothpaste now has a “fluoride” option. It’s NHAP and it acts like fluoride, but it’s a non-toxic alternative.

Don’t worry, you’re letting the rest of us know.
I'm really interested to dig into the research on their option more!
@@xoMiaMoore they also have NHAP mouthwash bites.
So glad you talked about sunscreen. I used to work in dermatology and all the patients with skin cancer never wore a drop of it. There's so much waste involved with skin cancer removal!
I use my shampoo bar, conditioner bar, reusable dishes / to-go ware, tote bags for groceries/shopping, shipping mailers or plastic bags from reduced price produce for trash bags (essentially anything mixed material or non recyclable that can hold trash), old eyeshadow palettes I am using up before buying anything new, my compost bin, and so many more items!

I was on the fence about versed sunscreen because it's a wittle pricey but you've convinced me to make the investment.
I would definitely like to see another one if these videos!!
Very helpful, I love that you aren’t just showing off your items but explaining the beginning to end life of most products
Another great option for a smartphone is the Fairphone! Love your videos Shelbi! ❤️

This is a great list!! By Humankind has toothpaste tablets with fluoride now. But no luck with finding a toothpaste.
I might just have to make tabs work then!

So I’ve done planners like that for a while but do you use stickers and if so, are those eco-friendly and if not, what are some sustainable replacements for them?
The brand Bam and Boo has fluoride toothpaste packaged in an aluminium tube! 😄 And I thought they ship worldwide.
Girl I want to see more! Thank you very much for this video!!

i can't believe i'm not seeing any comments about how absolutely adorable that outro was
Hi Shelbi I in need of a new cookware set. Does the green pan handles get hot, like do you have to use oven mitts or towels while cooking. I am so forgetful and need something with a safe handle for myself and kids learning to cook
OMG this is so helpful thank you so much as always Shelby 💕
Pickle jars as storage is the bomb dot com.
everything about your channel is helpful and interesting et cetera !!
and yes swayze unnatural vegan is fabulous you guys should collab on a video
Do you know how long the care of packets take to compost? I threw some in my compost bin but just curious if anyone has timed it
How is the lotion on sensitive skin? Does it come unscented? I am very sensitive to fragrance products and only aveeno and eucerin work for me.
I really loved the video!
I really wanted to try that sunscreen but couldn’t get it since I live in Canada and seems like its not available ;(
I have question about dish washing brush. Im currently using sponge to wash dishes and wanting to try dish brush but i’m worried that it might be hard on dish and will have scratches. People who already use brushes, does plate looks scratched? im also looking into silicone sponge but im not so sure if its good for the environment.
Question: how sustainable is cast iron? I’ve had cast iron pans and enameled cast iron pots/Dutch ovens for a while now and they’re all I use. I’ve heard that they can last 100+ years if you care for them well. Not looking to get new cookware unless these break, but just curious what their carbon footprint is like?
How do you prep Davis toothpaste for recycling? Do you have to do anything?
I have a iPhone 7+, which has been the only phone that I have purchased new in the past 10 years. I am currently looking for a new phone since it is starting to glitch & lag a lot but I really wanna buy an iPhone 8+. I don’t need a major upgrade & plus my pela case will fit it 😊
Omg thank you for this video!!! These are all the things I’ve been searching for! Thank you thank you!!!!!!
The more I watch your channel, the more I become like you! ❤️
I LOVE the way you film. Very cool and different to everyone else. ☺️🧡
always love these lifestyle types of videos!!
what do you suggest I use for wall shelves?
Beautifully put together Shelbi!
Thank you for educating Shelbie!
Hi Shelbi! I was wondering if you had an opinion or advice on sourcing renewable energy for homes? I just recently found a company called Arcadia and under a subscription with them, they work with electric companies to purchase and retire Renewable Energy Certificates.
Bite has a fluoride alternative and I really like them
I really love this kind of video. Please make more of them! Do you recommend any place that we can buy second-hand computers/laptops? The one you mentioned only sells phones. Thanks so much! -Erica
Thanks for all of your wonderful ideas!!! I have one question, aren’t you afraid of your phone battery durability long term as it’s second hand??
No, I've only ever purchased second hand phones and have never had an issue. And if I ever did, I would just have the battery replaced.
@@Shelbizleee thanks for your answer!!
Hi, haven't tried them yet but I just came across non plastic beach toothpaste tabs. It's a tab, but they have fluoride. I'm excited to see that other people have added some in the comments. I need a new toothpaste and I'm currently shopping.
Okay I have a dumb question that you may have addressed buuuuut how can you determine if a compostable material is suitable for home compost vs only suitable for commercial compost?
editing was 🔥🔥🔥🔥. content game has been amazing lately!!
Dental lace has toothpaste tabs with fluoride!
I also have a second hand iPhone 8 Plus 😀
I discovered you about 2 months ago and I have literally watched all of your videos! I always talk about you 🤣 I'll be like "yeah, Shelbi was talking about an alternative for that" probably having people think that we actually know each other lmaooooo
Maybe you could check out Tom’s of Maine for fluoride toothpaste! They have a totally recyclable tube now, and they’re a certified B Corp and do a lot of donating to sustainability projects
Tom's is owned by colgate
@@mistycrocker8793 ugh seriously? That’s annoying. I didn’t look that far into it yet, I’m currently using something else.
there is a toothpaste tabs and paste brand called Ben and Anna (Ben & Anna?) here in europe that has a fluoride option as far as im aware! though, that does make it harder for you over on the other side of the water haha
So what would you guys do if your second hand laptop needs a new battery? I bought mine second hand, and now it needs a new battery, but all I could find was companies that get their batteries manufactured in China, even if the company is based in North America (I live in Canada). What would be my best, sustainable option for buying a new battery for my laptop? Asking for advice here 'cause I don't know where else
I freakin love you dude. This was such a chill video thanks for sharing!
Shelby I know this is out of topic, but could you explain about Ecosia? I’m considering switching back to Google because I heard that Ecosia gets no revenues if we only use it without clicking on its ads and they use Bing to search. + Google is 100% green-powered. Thanks
phonewise I can highly recommend the FAIRPHONE. it's as ethically sourced as possible, the gold is second hand for example and its MODULAR, meaning if your camera chip breaks or you want a better camera, you open the phone and switch components for a few bucks!!! it's how tech was intended, right? switch, mix and match. just my 2 cents, love you!
fairphone isn't available in the US 😅
@@Shelbizleee well.... you might have more european fans like me so i just thought i'd drop that tip ^^
How do you find quality second-hand electronics other than phones from trademore? (Cameras, Laptops, etc.) Thanks!!
