Growing up, we burned our trash in a 55 gallon drum. Honestly we didn’t ever have much trash…..maybe once every couple weeks we would burn it. Amazing how much more waste there is now😢

I only buy groceries from Amazon, it’s worth it due to where I live. As far as junk buying oh hell no. I’m purging my stuff at a fast paste😂

💚💚💚💚💚 thank ou so much!

Ser frugal, bajar el consumo y no desperdiciar .

I used to drink V8 Pomegranate Blueberry. I don’t know why—it never gave me energy, lol, it just tasted good. It’s kind of silly… why not just eat the real fruits? Instead, you’re consuming added sweeteners and whatnot.

Thank you ❤👏🏼

Thank you for being willing to challenge us.

Thank you for your thoughts, interesting perspective, my respect to you. I agree with the 2nd, a tiny bit agree with the 1st I mean personally for me packaged beverages are a treat rather than a daily routine but my views are not that extreme. Mostly agree with the 3rd, but when it comes to skincare, bodycare etc I order everything online because variety in local stores sucks and I cannot find good vegan, cruelty-free, affordable & not working in ruzzia (so not sponsoring war) products there
Thank you for the insight that we as animals are made to work using our bodies, it was a bit of a mindset shift for me. inspiring

Why do so many believe every piece of propaganda that is force fed to them? The earth is NOT dying. Is environmental damage being done on a wide scale? Yes...but not but individual every day people. That is what they want YOU to think so you will allow them to control you via a carbon tax. Unless and until the catastrophic damage THEY are doing via geoengineering aka stratospheric aerosol injection, and weather modification & bioengineering & genetically modification w/glyphosate and production and use of toxic poison pharmaceuticals is addressed having this convo about "single use packaging" is moot. Until the REAL ISSUES that I just listed are addressed reversing environmental damage will not be possible. Period.

Hi.  Tgis is Nan.  You go,  Girl!!!  I agree.  I have been boycotting companies ... including Amazon ... for years.  Peace, Nan Cohen

Hi!!!  This is Nan.  I am watching and listening to your videos.  Wonderful!!!!!  Thank you so much.  I honor  you.  Light, Love, and Peace Always, Nan Cohen

I m your fan, since I started following you I ve been more minimalist and buying only what I really need and ended up saving money, thank you for sharing your wisdom ❤

I agree with most of your points 💯, but I would have put one more thing on the list and made it number one. Humans need to stop using animals. It’s inherently unethical and animal agriculture is the most destructive industry on the planet by every metric that matters. ✌🏻💚

And our uber materialistic president is gonna fix it?

But you are a bartender?

To fulfill those "have-to-have-it-now" purchases, it is necessary for Amazon to have warehouses ALL over the map. These warehouses are resulting in their own microcosm of noise, pollution, traffic, etc. Surely, some will say they create jobs --- but at what cost to the majority? Your channel is one of my favorites, Alicia. And I don't know how I missed this video but I'm here for it now 😃 Not at all triggered; you have given me (who thought she was such an essentialist) even more to consider. It is a lovely synchronicity as it was just this week I was looking at the size of a trash bag on the way to the bin and became mindful of the amount of packaging that still comes in and goes out. Absolutely agree that things that were once considered a treat (going out for a coffee, etc) have become costly (to the environment and the wallet) daily habits for many. With all the running around and playing outside that we did in our neighborhood as kids, I don't know how we had so much fun (and didn't faint from thirst) since not one of us had a water bottle. 😄 Thank you for always showing up with excellent content and ideas. 🙏

I found that one a bit odd - you are so much against takeaway food and the packaging, even though you yourself are doing exactly that with your restaurant...and are producing exponentially more waste than your casual viewer chomping on his/her takeaway. It would be consequent to NOT sell takeaway food!

Speaking of disposable packaging, it’s not just about what ends up in the landfill.  Think about the amount of raw material and energy used, and toxic by-products created in the production of these materials.  Switch to paper or cellulose-based materials really is much better.  The problem is as you stated - single use.

I love your videos! I love being challenged and reminded. I think that you are providing something really important, and we all need to pay attention. I've been on a sustainable path For quite a while but I find that everyday I can do better. So thank you

The problem with Amazon Prime is that there is no friction between the thought of buying something and actually paying for it. It`s only one click! There is no time to think about the purchase. Buying things in an actual store is better. And, yes - you will still have to drive ( or walk ) to the store but at least you give yourself this time , maybe 10, maybe 20 minutes, to think about the product you want to buy. Or, maybe you`re tired or the weather is bad and you tell yourself that you will go to the store tomorrow. And tomorrow, the chances are - you will completely forget about it. And save money!
