You should totally make more videos about sustainablity even if it is your delimas with it. I'm excited to see what you're gonna come up with in the future! :) Best of luck with school and getting settling into your new place ❤️❤️
I second this. I would like information regarding the opposite side sustainability and plant-based/veganism. I would like to really consider each side as I am transitioning myself. Thanks for the inspiration!
I dont know if im necessarily looking to know more about the "opposite side" because I think that sustainability is very important but more so I think these dilemmas that she's experiencing is something that needs to be talked about because it's something I've thought about as well. I dont know the solution to these issues and its a weird feeling when you feel like you have to know how to solve them all by yourself. Idk I think creating a community where it is safe to talk about the dilemmas of how to be efficiently sustainable is important because conversation invokes change. That's sick that you are looking into becoming vegan though! I just wanted to specify a little more about what I meant in my comment :)
Sorry, this was aimed at her! I would like to know if she has opinions regarding both sides. Basically, how can I gradually become vegan and sustainable at the same time in a legit way, but also as practical as possible. I am on the same page as you though, having a place where there can be an open dialogue would be awesome. It's always helpful to bounch ideas off each other, we can learn so much because everyone's experience can be different.
Hi Jenny! I'm totally on the same page with you on your thoughts on sustainability. For me, one thing that immediately popped into my mind was the lack of body representation and accessibility. Sustainable brands, as a whole, tend to cater to very small sizes, completely ostracizing a majority of people who are larger than a size 8-10. This contributes to the larger issue of sustainability seeming like this exclusive, elitist club only thin-bodied individuals can enjoy; because of that, it's far more difficult for the sustainable movement to be widespread when options don't exist or are very, very limited for different bodies.
You are honestly such an inspiration to me. It's so amazing to see someone who loves fashion but also considers the ethics behind it. I always felt bad for my interest in fashion, but after watching your videos, I've realised we can shop smart and rep such amazing brands that actually care about their impact. Please don't underestimate the amazing impact you have on people! Love you!
omg so excited to hear about you studying sustainability as your minor! I studied sustainable design at uni and am trying to keep myself surrounded by people/information/resources to do with it!
I feel you on the sustainable dilemma. I’ve been driving myself crazy just thinking about the “zero waste” movement and eco consumerism and the lack of WOC representation in those spaces. Just make sure to take some time for yourself & talk it out with your support group.
i'm so with you on your sustainability struggle! i just recently purchased shoes from veja which is a sustainable brand, they used recycled materials for their nylon and use fair production methods, however they use leather. sustainability isn't a black and white issue, i can't buy shoes claiming to be vegan when they're made of plastic and made in sweatshop conditions. sustainability is about informing yourself and making your own decisions after weighing out pros and cons of the things you consume. it's about CONSCIOUS consuming.
I have not been too well mentally recently and i also started eating poorly, so i think it is a thing for many people. I am happy to see that you do not dread yourself about that as well. For me i see that the moment i start feeling better, my diet improves, my excercise time goes up and generally have more strength to work towards the dream version of me. For me it is a new discovery, I see you already have it wored out, so thank you so much for the inspiration!
I think your confusions about sustaiability and ethics is a lot more relatable than you think. I would love to see a whole rambly video about what is going on in your head surrounding that topic :)
Jenny! I 100% agree with your comments here-- I'm in school for environmental science and have studied similar topics regarding ethics & sustainability. I try to reduce my impact, buy sustainably/ethically, and reduce animal suffering wherever possible, but it can be a double-edged sword. Even if it may go against the grain a bit, I definitely think it's important to question things and explore the greater impacts on animals and societies near and far (present and future!) that the production of some vegan/sustainable goods can have. I would love to hear more about your thoughts on these kinds of topics going forward. :) Also, that class you mentioned sounds SO COOL. Great video, and I hope all goes well as you settle back into school and into your new space
Zoë Linnea hey I know it’s been a while since you’ve commented this but I have been thinking about going to school for environmental science and I was wondering what you plan to do when you graduate and if you’re enjoying it?
I really love how honest this is, and also how you really look into the issues you are interested in before presenting it to others. It's nice to see you put real care into what you are passionate about. I would be stoked to see a video about new environmentally friendly materials that you are learning about btw
I also just moved into a new space, also a new city and it’s refreshing that someone understands the feelings of still feeling like a visitor in their house and the extreme stresses of moving. You’re doing amazing and have to give yourself credit that you’re taking all these steps!!!
Ahh I’m going to school again (next semester I hope) to finish my BFA- I feel like taking that design class you spoke of 😍 wish we had them back when I was still studying design!
I completely understand the conflict of choosing a sustainable option. I used to be an environmental science major and in class we learned that sometimes the most "sustainable options" weren't so sustainable after all. For instance, there is a misconception about electric cars being more sustainable than gas fueled cars when electric cars are indeed still powered by nonrenewable sources. The electricity is derived from coal, gas, and nuclear power which in the end are still bad for the planet. It is very hard to stand behind a certain option because there are so many factors to consider. However, I am very happy to see someone speaking up about these issues, much love 💞
I love your channel so much, and admire your stance on veganism and ethical, sustainable, cruetly-free living. It is beautiful that you find contentment in making progress and truly try to live according to your values, not worrying so much about putting a label on what you do. I am definitely going to try to be more courageous and intentional about living according to my values like you do!
E7011 This has always made me so anxious because my bun (Sol) is such a little diva and doesn’t take kindly to being around other bunnies. I’ve tried numerous times and it just pisses her off. She seems to like being the only pet in the house lol.
It's so crazy to see you have 121K! I've been around since you had about 30K, I think, and you've been my favorite content creator since I subscribed. I love seeing you gain a greater following because your content is too amazing to not be seen!!
I don't believe that you need to worry too much about presenting us with absolutes. There is no one way to live and the world is not black and white. Having a supportive, eloquent friend that takes us along their journey to a more sustainable life would be very nice though xx
I think everyone understands how you felt being alone for the first time in a home. I was used to sharing a room always with my siblings so it came as a shock to move out. I hope you’re doing better now that Ty is home!
I’m with ya girl. Also just moved into a single bed/bath alone, then immediately started my last year of college too. Good luck organizing your things!
I can totally relate of what you've been struggling when it comes to living sustainibly and veganism. Love your honesty. Please do more of this kind of video. 🤗
I am an avid #MentalHealthAwareness advocate and performer, and I love this so much. I travel the country trying to bring that awareness on stages, in classrooms, hospitals, and on my TH-cam channel, so I get excited when I see other advocates. 💙❤
So excited for future content from you! Sounds like you have some interesting stuff coming for us and I can't wait! My best for settling in to your new place and new lifestyle Xx
i love love love all your videos and editing and overall style. whenever i am feeling uninspired or not motivated i watch your videos and it always brightens my mood! :)
i think it's really important to talk more about being ethical, there are loads of vegan people in the media preaching but then you see them promote brands like primark that use slave/child labour, really underpay their staff and keep them in dangerous and bad conditions and ik they are seperate being vegan doesn't necessarily mean you care about people aswell as animals but it doesn't really seem like you're being genuinely ethical if you don't care about the whole world around you, so it would be really nice to hear more about ethical things in general terms really.
thank you for that very honest video - I can relate to your thoughts on sustainability - it's impossible to know what is the 'least bad' option most of the time
thank you so much for talking about topics like sustainability, veganism and all the thought struggle that comes with it - I‘m totally on your side! I also tend to overthink so much on similar topics ... I‘d love to hear more about your opinion on all this, as well as your studies! sounds amazing :) lots of love from berlin!
i absolutely adore your channel and love every video you make!! the clothes made from living materials sounded so interesting and i can't WAIT for more vlogs and cooking videos💓 (also you look really beautiful in this video!)
I love your channel so much! I found it just a little while ago and I'm in love with your videos, they're so inspiring so aesthetic and they make you want to make healthy changes to your lifestyle! Keep making awesome videos, Love you!! XOXOXO ♥️
Yes! I feel like I'm in this exact same headspace regarding the impact I'm making on the planet and the hypocrisies I'm encountering as I go (vegan butter in plastic tubs for example) i'm struggling to find a good place to stand in the midst of it all and would loooove to see you make that video and talk us through your thoughts on everything x
I completely agree with what you said it's like a complete messy cycle in my head when it comes to sustainability issues in regards with wanting to help the earth and people around the world as well...lol its tough
i have been working towards my website for a little while now and this was the perfect video for me to get moving on it!! xo absolutely love everything your channel stands for and can't wait to see what content you put out next
Same! In everything you said. Especially about caring more about the plant/animals than the health side. Labels are overrated, keep doing You! Your awesome!!!
Dear Jenny, This is the most honest video about sustainability, ethical fashion, consumerism and veganism I've ever watched and I'm so grateful about it. I feel the same way about the class you're having about making fabrics from bacteria, plants, etc. I would love to continuing knowing about it cause it's really amazing how we all have so many options to care, preserve and help the motherland. And take it easy about being vegan 100%, you're doing great and it's about to know yourself, how it works on you inside and out. ❤️ from Barcelona
I love love love how you are critically thinking. I say I'm vegan, but I have very different views. You are one of my favorite youtubers. Don't lose who you are, seriously. It's nice to know somebody is questioning. Question yourself and everything.
So excited about your next videos, everything you were talking about sounds amazing. I love your channel and your videos, thank you for your hard work :-)
love these chatty vids!! I started my plant based journey just over 2 year ago and I can really relate to the part about veganism and not being perfect - keep doing you
hi!! i'm so excited and happy because I was going through your spotify and águas de março (waters of march) is my favorite song by antonio carlos jubim and i didn't there was a translation to english this is the best thing!! thank you haha!!! also you inspire me in so many ways and u dont even know it (you are the reason i only wear totes and reusable bags) haha love u!!!
omg im so proud of you for not just taking a mainstream stand and actually thinking things through, the "vegan" leather thing has made me mad for years for these obvious reasons that nobody questions, and thank you soo soo much for thinking about people in other countries, i feel like americans tend to think only about them selfs (which i mean it's fine and normal) but it means so much when other countries are considered
this is a great video, seriously, i love how nuanced your discussions are. when you're talking about the negatives of leather alternatives it reminded me of the stuff about how almond milk (while a nice vegan milk) is not very good for the planet, and often involves unethical production for the workers. i really like how you're not super over the top and black and white about things - you genuinely come across as someone who cares about the planet and people enough to properly look into things rather than just having an opinion and shouting about it. i'm vegetarian not vegan, though i try to be sustainable, and i've had some ott people shout at me about it, which is insane, esp as when i did go vegan it brought up some disordered habits for me. anyway, this is a ramble, but i want you to know that you really inspire me, and you're one of the most genuine youtubers i follow!
gosh i feel the same way and i feel like people around me don't understand. my life compered to the animals is nothing. of corse i care about myself and my health but i don't eat meat for me, i do it for the animals
Hey Jenny, could you share any good book titles/online resources on sustainability and ethical fashion/food that you've picked up along the way? Even textbooks from your classes would be great. Thanks!!
Please make more content about veganism/sustainability! I love your channel and have been watching for a while now and you are definitely one of the main reasons I am vegan now! :)
I am living on a traditional diet as my family practices our traditional and spiritual ways of living on the land sustainable. I usually eat all vegan as it is affordable for me living in the city, but not in the north where my ancestors are from. (Denesuline nation) northern canada. So thats where my values lay as a queer twospirit indigenous women. I hope to live on the land once again as my ancestors have forever. (Fuck the bering strait theory) lol weve been here forever so ive been learning the sacred knowledge so i can treat all of Mother Earth well with LOVE!
As someone who strives to be ethical/sustainable, I've been dealing with the leather dilemma. Is it better to not support the leather industry and buy vegan leather (which is not sustainable) or to support the leather industry which isn't ethical?
yunarikku2723 I am from a mixed background. I do not care about being asked this question in most instances; However, I have heard from other minority individuals in the US that they find the question very offensive. I'm not in any way trying to speak for Jenny. But if you actually wanted to know if it's ok I would suggest not asking unless you know the person better.
you might mean “meandering” instead of marinating? because that is like putting paprika in oil and spices so its more tasty when you put it on the grill.. ☺️
marinating can kind of be a slang word for letting something soak in! like your letting it marinate, meaning you're letting the idea soak in! maybe kind of a funny term.
Oiii linda ,sou brasileira e já me escrevi em seu canal, adoro seus vídeos, poderia colocar legenda por favor , adoraria para te acompanhar melhor . Obrigada !!!😘
A huge misconception regarding vegan leather vs animal leather is that synthetic leather is worse for the environment. In actuality, treating leather and the resources used for leather production is far worse for the environment. I encourage you to look into it :) if you are looking for more environmentally friendly alternates, waxed cotton is great! I just wrote an article for the latest issue of Chickpea Magazine about the global environmental impact of veganism. Let me know if you want me to email you a copy. It's a beautiful magazine. But as far as your environmental concerns, living a vegan lifestyle is the single best thing you can do to lower your footprint :)
I am not a vegan, but I see the hate and controversy people get for being vegan. I think it was brave and commendable of you to admit you had a slip up.
I get what you're saying about Veganism. I eat a mostly plant-based diet, but I don't call myself a vegan because if I really feel like it I'll eat sushi or some chicken. I also don't want to feel bad about it because I want my diet to be life giving not only for my body, but for my mind. So if I'm stressing or feeling guilty it almost defeats the purpose.
You're putting your cravings over an animals life, please reconsider your actions. Nobody wants to "feel bad" and that's why you shouldn't do selfish things. Veganism is healthy for any stage of life, and actually has been extensively proven by science to be the healthiest diet. Whole food plant based is best for the environment, the body, the mind, and of course the animals. You also talk about wanting your diet to be life giving, but what about the death and suffering of other beings it contributes to? We don't need to have an argument, I just truly want you to consider these things
Ok, first of all, you don't need to mansplain why veganism is healthy and good for the environment as if I already didn't know. 2. You're drawing a really, really harsh line in the sand by calling non-vegan consumption "selfish". I do not think it's that black and white. No one operates in a purely altruistic lifestyle. 3. "Life-giving" I'll admit the semantics are messy. BUT that is the way our entire ecosystem works, things die to give others life, whether it is plants or animals or even our own cells. As someone who grew up ethically farming and hunting there is a really good point to be made for conservation, especially with fish. In a perfect world we wouldn't have to even disrupt animal's ecosystems, but here we are. 4. The high-pedestal, preachiness is not going to win anyone over. I know many people who refuse to even consider plant-based alternatives because of how pretentious and shaming the vegan community is. I would argue your tactics are doing more harm than good. Why would I want to be in a community with people like you who encourage guilt? No thanks, this is why I left religion I just truly want you to consider these things.
@@emmaripley9688 you assumed I'm a man, but I'm not. From your comment it's clear you aren't and never were vegan. Veganism is an ethical standpoint. Have a nice day!
I see how vegan promotions are great, but are not eco friendly. I feel on the fence, because I want more people to become vegan and see the beauty in it, and have foods they can enjoy that is cruelty free and good for the body...but then I know it will eventually make more waste. Maybe the first goal is to tackle down the animal consumption first for people since animal agriculture is the main culprit for pollution. Just recently , pig blood and manure spilled in the Atlantic oceans due to hurricane Florence...that's going to kill animals and make a lot of people sick.
You should totally make more videos about sustainablity even if it is your delimas with it. I'm excited to see what you're gonna come up with in the future! :) Best of luck with school and getting settling into your new place ❤️❤️
I second this. I would like information regarding the opposite side sustainability and plant-based/veganism. I would like to really consider each side as I am transitioning myself. Thanks for the inspiration!

omg so excited to hear about you studying sustainability as your minor! I studied sustainable design at uni and am trying to keep myself surrounded by people/information/resources to do with it!
Also, I have been feeling the same about ethics/sustainability to do with a lot of aspects of my life :'| I would love to hear more in future videos!
hey, I‘m also very interested in sustainable design! where did you study it?
I feel you on the sustainable dilemma. I’ve been driving myself crazy just thinking about the “zero waste” movement and eco consumerism and the lack of WOC representation in those spaces. Just make sure to take some time for yourself & talk it out with your support group.

i admire you a lot for talking about the dilemmas ! your honesty is amazing, and you're so smart and kind ! youtubers like you are precious !!
You should do a video on ethical consumption and elitism

Dear Jenny,
This is the most honest video about sustainability, ethical fashion, consumerism and veganism I've ever watched and I'm so grateful about it. I feel the same way about the class you're having about making fabrics from bacteria, plants, etc. I would love to continuing knowing about it cause it's really amazing how we all have so many options to care, preserve and help the motherland.

love these chatty vids!! I started my plant based journey just over 2 year ago and I can really relate to the part about veganism and not being perfect - keep doing you
Hope you are doing well now Jenny❤️ love ya!!

She probably gets this alot...but I'm new here and get big time Frida Kahlo vibes 😊
Thanks for doing this video cause I'm a new subbie and i wanted to know a but more about you! 😊
Yesssss yes true I always think about this!!! It’s such a dilemma!
Great update. Love your videos 💕☺️
this is a great video, seriously, i love how nuanced your discussions are. when you're talking about the negatives of leather alternatives it reminded me of the stuff about how almond milk (while a nice vegan milk) is not very good for the planet, and often involves unethical production for the workers. i really like how you're not super over the top and black and white about things - you genuinely come across as someone who cares about the planet and people enough to properly look into things rather than just having an opinion and shouting about it. i'm vegetarian not vegan, though i try to be sustainable, and i've had some ott people shout at me about it, which is insane, esp as when i did go vegan it brought up some disordered habits for me. anyway, this is a ramble, but i want you to know that you really inspire me, and you're one of the most genuine youtubers i follow!
gosh i feel the same way and i feel like people around me don't understand. my life compered to the animals is nothing. of corse i care about myself and my health but i don't eat meat for me, i do it for the animals
You are so inspiring and beautiful! Love from Canada xx!
I love the background in this video a lot!
Hey Jenny, could you share any good book titles/online resources on sustainability and ethical fashion/food that you've picked up along the way? Even textbooks from your classes would be great. Thanks!!
Your videos never fail to make me relax :)
you’re amazing!
keep doing what youre doing babe! 💐💐💐💐💐
pleeeeeaase do an apartment tour !
Please make more content about veganism/sustainability! I love your channel and have been watching for a while now and you are definitely one of the main reasons I am vegan now! :)
Uggghh I just moved too and I know exactly how you feel....
I am living on a traditional diet as my family practices our traditional and spiritual ways of living on the land sustainable. I usually eat all vegan as it is affordable for me living in the city, but not in the north where my ancestors are from. (Denesuline nation) northern canada. So thats where my values lay as a queer twospirit indigenous women. I hope to live on the land once again as my ancestors have forever. (Fuck the bering strait theory) lol weve been here forever so ive been learning the sacred knowledge so i can treat all of Mother Earth well with LOVE!
Ive been lovvving for channel💕💕💕
As someone who strives to be ethical/sustainable, I've been dealing with the leather dilemma. Is it better to not support the leather industry and buy vegan leather (which is not sustainable) or to support the leather industry which isn't ethical?
Loooooove all your content :) keep doing you!
Where do you buy your accessories from? They are SUPER cute!
I always get frita vibes from you 💕
dont know if youve mentioned before but, what is your ethnicity? i hope its ok to ask
yunarikku2723 I was wondering the same thing
yunarikku2723 I am from a mixed background. I do not care about being asked this question in most instances; However, I have heard from other minority individuals in the US that they find the question very offensive. I'm not in any way trying to speak for Jenny. But if you actually wanted to know if it's ok I would suggest not asking unless you know the person better.
you might mean “meandering” instead of marinating? because that is like putting paprika in oil and spices so its more tasty when you put it on the grill.. ☺️
marinating can kind of be a slang word for letting something soak in! like your letting it marinate, meaning you're letting the idea soak in! maybe kind of a funny term.
Oiii linda ,sou brasileira e já me escrevi em seu canal, adoro seus vídeos, poderia colocar legenda por favor , adoraria para te acompanhar melhor . Obrigada !!!😘
A huge misconception regarding vegan leather vs animal leather is that synthetic leather is worse for the environment. In actuality, treating leather and the resources used for leather production is far worse for the environment. I encourage you to look into it :) if you are looking for more environmentally friendly alternates, waxed cotton is great! I just wrote an article for the latest issue of Chickpea Magazine about the global environmental impact of veganism. Let me know if you want me to email you a copy. It's a beautiful magazine. But as far as your environmental concerns, living a vegan lifestyle is the single best thing you can do to lower your footprint :)
Is this a physical printed magazine or just an e-mag? Sounds right up my alley!
I would love to read it!!
I am not a vegan, but I see the hate and controversy people get for being vegan. I think it was brave and commendable of you to admit you had a slip up.
Where is her necklace from?
How long did it take you to make
love your earrings, do u remember where they’re from?
i think theyre the white pearl hoops from above average studio!
Mariam Moini okay, thanks!

i like your ears.
I get what you're saying about Veganism. I eat a mostly plant-based diet, but I don't call myself a vegan because if I really feel like it I'll eat sushi or some chicken. I also don't want to feel bad about it because I want my diet to be life giving not only for my body, but for my mind. So if I'm stressing or feeling guilty it almost defeats the purpose.
You're putting your cravings over an animals life, please reconsider your actions. Nobody wants to "feel bad" and that's why you shouldn't do selfish things. Veganism is healthy for any stage of life, and actually has been extensively proven by science to be the healthiest diet. Whole food plant based is best for the environment, the body, the mind, and of course the animals. You also talk about wanting your diet to be life giving, but what about the death and suffering of other beings it contributes to? We don't need to have an argument, I just truly want you to consider these things
Ok, first of all, you don't need to mansplain why veganism is healthy and good for the environment as if I already didn't know.
2. You're drawing a really, really harsh line in the sand by calling non-vegan consumption "selfish". I do not think it's that black and white. No one operates in a purely altruistic lifestyle.
3. "Life-giving" I'll admit the semantics are messy. BUT that is the way our entire ecosystem works, things die to give others life, whether it is plants or animals or even our own cells. As someone who grew up ethically farming and hunting there is a really good point to be made for conservation, especially with fish. In a perfect world we wouldn't have to even disrupt animal's ecosystems, but here we are.
4. The high-pedestal, preachiness is not going to win anyone over. I know many people who refuse to even consider plant-based alternatives because of how pretentious and shaming the vegan community is. I would argue your tactics are doing more harm than good. Why would I want to be in a community with people like you who encourage guilt? No thanks, this is why I left religion
I just truly want you to consider these things.
@@emmaripley9688 you assumed I'm a man, but I'm not. From your comment it's clear you aren't and never were vegan. Veganism is an ethical standpoint. Have a nice day!
I never said I was a vegan. And women can mansplain just as hard as men can.
a vegan vid yeeeee ples 🕺🏽💖
I'm getting major Sabrina Claudio vibes
SUCH A NICE COMPLIMENT
😍😍😍😍
I see how vegan promotions are great, but are not eco friendly. I feel on the fence, because I want more people to become vegan and see the beauty in it, and have foods they can enjoy that is cruelty free and good for the body...but then I know it will eventually make more waste. Maybe the first goal is to tackle down the animal consumption first for people since animal agriculture is the main culprit for pollution. Just recently , pig blood and manure spilled in the Atlantic oceans due to hurricane Florence...that's going to kill animals and make a lot of people sick.
the struggle of trying to be as ethical as possible is real
I think its a bit cruel to get a rabbit in an apartment with no garden :( I think it would cause a lot of stress to the animal
does her mouth remind yall of woah vicky's?
