This is one of the best sustainability videos I’ve seen

Hi Alex. Your work is greatly appreciated. I so desperately wish we in America could stop single use packaging. It’s everywhere, in every store, every gas station, even coffee shops that could serve cookies out of a bread box with tongs choose single biscuits wrapped in non recyclable packing. I hope your channel can continue to grow and reach larger audiences across the globe.

[@learnsustainability]

Thanks a lot! I hope so too. We need to end this era that has never made sense and looks especially crazy nowadays with all we know!

Do you have a link to the book please?

[@learnsustainability]

Yes, it is in the description below: www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/publications/reuse

Thanks. Most of this is business orientated. I’m just a green granny in the country looking for more ideas that are available for out of town people. I love your videos but know most of the theory. How can one access returnables beyond the milk in glass bottles delivery system which has taken off again in our area.
How can we upgrade our own housing, cut our carbon footprint now? It troubles me that all these things you describe aren’t obviously available
Sorry to sound mournful because your vids and the ideas are amazing 👍 We need to cut and cut fast. Have you done a vid on that?

[@learnsustainability]

@@DB-pm2vy Thanks for your message! I totally take your point! And I know how frustrated it is to not have these things available: until recently I couldn't recycle soft plastics in my small town and it drove me mad. It is true that this channel is more theory and business oriented. By searching key words such as "sustainable living" or "zero waste living" you will find many channels and videos more focused on the day-to-day living aspect and ideas.
