The Future is Vertical Farming
Переглядів 2906 років тому
Just finished reading “The Vertical Farm” by Dr. Dickson Despommier. He is considered the father of the vertical farm concept and has appeared on popular podcasts, the Stephen Colbert show, etc. to talk about growing food indoors. I thought I would share the main concepts of his book and my personal thoughts about it here! Join me in the conversation! If you want to read the full book check it ...

Hi I’ve just finished the book. Addressing your concern around 5:50, about if the products would taste different. P.166 talks about the flavors of the tomato, how some of the indoor varieties weren’t up to par with the outdoor grown ones and why. Dr. Despommier states that, “By studying the outside conditions that produced tasty veggies (e.g., cold nights, warm days, or short periods of drought), they [the greenhouse industry] concluded that some stress was necessary in order to elicit flavonoids (complex organic molecules specific to plants).” I don’t really farm or anything, but to my understanding; by manipulating the indoor environments of the vertical farm, we can still achieve the flavors that we’d want from the fruit/veggie, even if it was grown indoors. Maybe even more. I’m very excited for this concept to fruit into life, and am wishing free fresh foods could be available for everyone. No one should go hungry and starvation shouldn’t be a reality, especially if food waste is a thing.
Beautiful with a capital everything.
Love your hair!
I want to buy one!! You definitely convinced me! Thank you <3
What conditioner do you use with it?
I used to use the Lush Conditioner bars, but to be honest, they aren't great. Mostly because they don't melt well. It takes awhile for them to get soft in the shower and then when I rub it on my hair, barely anything rubs onto it. My hair doesn't feel silky smooth at all afterwards either....Still on the look out for a good zero waste conditioner bar alternative...somewhere out there, there must be one
I love my Honey I've washed my hair shampoo bar. I've tried their solid conditioners which I'm not that fond of, but I still highly recommend the shampoo. I actually used up all my bar and had to use my mum's shampoo for a while and my hair started getting really dry again. It's not just good as a product with less waste but it is actually a really good shampoo.
i admire you way of explaining things keep it up :D good job :D
thought you'd talk about switching to whogivesacrap toilet paper or a bidet!
I'm about to give that a try now my shampoo is running out!
Have you looked at Wear Dope Kicks or Nothing New shoes? Wear Dope Kicks is hemp based and Nothing New are made of recycled materials.
I’ve used a shampoo bar from lush ( it’s yellow I forgot what it’s called) and I’ve found that it lathers SOOO well. I was skeptical at first but now I love it :)
A bit too loud
You can get a bar container that keeps it dry and safe from water :)
Ok I am totally trying this
I love it, but with time it has made my hair a bit greasy...when i use commercial shampoo it works better but im still loving the bar more!
They're good to take on holiday
I have brought a lush shampoo bar yesterday and wow it does make a difference to my hair. I got honey I washed my hair and it smells amazing I am in love with it. I have quite dry hair and recently discovered the shampoo bars from lush so I decided to try and it works a dream. The only issue is that with this bar the fragrance won't last if you smother your hair with conditioner (I didn't use a lush one) but I would highly recommend this bar or any other shampoo bar to anyone who is thinking to switch
Paige walker it’s been a few months since you made this post so i’m wondering if you still feel the same about shampoo bars ?
Thinking of buying one thank you
Do you need conditioner after using these? I rather not have to buy both!
Lush's Godiva shampoo bar works as a two in one, shampoo and conditioner :)
I would say yes, only because the shampoo has sulfate in it so it really removes all the oil in your hair, leaving it bare enough that it could use conditioner. Some people don't need to condition their hair, so if you don't normally condition your hair with the shampoo you use now, you probably won't need it. If you do use a separate conditioner now, you'll probably need one for this too. I just bought the Lush Hair Conditioner called 'BIG' and I like it. It lathers pretty well. I do not suggest getting the "JUNGLE" conditioner, it did not melt and lather as well when I bought it about a year ago.
The best compromise is to just start off with the shampoo. Try it for a wash. If it feels dry, then you can get a conditioner
Thanks everyone. I'll try the Goldiva one. My hair is oily. Barely can skip a day of hairwashing.
yeeiii less plastic! this brand just came to México so really excited to try it after your cute review :P
Yay for less plastic in the world!!! I'm glad you are trying to reduce your waste with shampoo bars. Let me know how it turns out!
I bought a handmade shampoo bar from a local small business in town. Although I like the idea of no plastic, the bar makes my hair greasy. I have to use a reg shampoo in between. Mind you I don't use the red cider vinegar and water rinse suggested on the bar.
Yeah, I've definitely experimented with handmade shampoo bars I've found on Etsy and grocery stores. Some made my hair greasy and others made my hair feel heavy, like it didn't completely wash out. Which is why I liked the Lush Shampoo bars because they gave me the clean and light feeling I wanted without a plastic bottle involved. I bought red cider vinegar to do the rinse once and I didn't really enjoy the extra process, I heard it works for some people, but I never got too involved with that route.
You can cut out a loofah and flatten it out👍🏻
Smart. Smart.
can I ask if those petals that some bars have wash out easily
I've never had a problem with any of the extra petals or stuff they put in the bars. So should be fine!
Ever tried on ultraboost?
You: it was this thick You again: now it is this thick You drop it Now it is in half :/
So you try to reduce waste, yet you return your product to the store. And even tell others they can do this? What do you think they will do with that bar you used? They will just throw it out! If it doesnt work for you, give it away to someone that will use the product. And this product doesn’t save the planet. To save the planet stop flying and stop eating animal products and protest your government for total plastic consumption bans/reduction. Individual products like this are not enough.
I think your suggestions of stop flying and stop eating animal products and protesting the govt are very valid. They are ways we can help save the planet. But I'm not a fan of telling people that the things they are doing is not enough. Everyone is on their own journey to do their part and what they can. To have someone replace their plastic bags with paper bags and then slowly transition to reusable bags. Or just replacing their plastic water bottles with reusable water bottles are good steps. The statement, 'you can do more' will always be true and saying 'this is not enough' is very discouraging and can lead to thoughts like: "Well if this isn't enough, why bother doing anything at all." I get your frustration and I have definitely had those thoughts as well, but at the end of the day, I hope to encourage people to just do one more thing and continue on that path.
@@showmehowplease It is great that people try things to 'save the planet' (which is funny way of saying it because the planet will live on, it is the human race and many other species that will die..). The problem is that individual action is not enough. The solution to climate crisis and plastic is not for individuals to buy shampoo bars. The solution is for governments to pressure the industry to ban all plastics and use renewable sources. When individuals people feel they do great things for the planet by consuming less polluting products it often makes them feel they have done enough that way. And they stop feeling the need to take ACTUAL ACTION for actual solutions. The solutions are not on an individual basis and individual choices, the solutions are to collectively make these choices! Governments need to start banning single use plastics for example, that is something we should strive for by letting our governments hear our voices (instead of those of corporations). Yes it is not enough to buy this product, but there is another solution. Look at how they banned CFCs to stop the ozon layer problems. That was an actual solution. We should learn from that, collective action IS possible!! but we won't get there if we keep on putting the solution to this problem on the individual level..
Hi uwu i bought the seanik shampoo bar a few hours ago cause i really just wanna reduce the plastic in the environment :>
ooo nice!
This is the review I was looking for. I was on the fence about these because of a couple of things, and you addressed them all in detail. Getting these as my vacation/tourist/sightseeing travel shoes.
I already own shampoo bar, but I just bought the soap saver 💸 thank you!
yessss, preserve that shampoo bar as long as you can!
Thanks for this informative video! I've always wanted to try Lush's shampoo bars but figured they wouldn't last long enough for them to be an economical purchase. I recently purchased a knockoff bar at Walmart just to try it out but I'll def be buying a Lush bar after this one runs out. Thanks!
That's awesome! I'm glad this video helped! Yeah, it took me awhile to find Lush's shampoo bar. I tried some I found on etsy first and they kept clumping my hair or made it more oily, so I'm glad I found the Lush bar too!
I am buying ASAP! thanks so much :)
No problem! I'm glad my review helped!
I've been thinking about trying shampoo bars for a while. And now I really want it!
Hey I just want to let you know that, just like one of my videos, a channel has stolen your video and uploaded it. You can find it here: ua-cam.com/video/wMjru21XMCg/v-deo.html
I stepped foot into Lush for the first time yesterday and I am in love with the company. They seem so ethically-minded and the products seem to be really high quality, as well. I used a not sleepy shower bomb last night followed by the charity pot naked lotion, plus I used the jade roller facial cleanser and the guv'ner deodorant. So far, I am impressed. I cannot wait to try a naked shampoo bar! I want to go back and purchase one really soon because last night I realized my shampoo is running out... what a good excuse!! XD
really helpful and amazing video ❤️
What color was that purpleish pair?? Great review! Just bought a pair of wool runners and I’m super excited.
Hi! The purpleish pair? The one I reviewed with is the French Tuke color! www.allbirds.com/products/womens-wool-runners-tuke-french-fry It looks light brown indoors, and almost pinkish purple in the daylight. That shade of color honestly changes hues depending on the lighting, which is amazing to me. I love it, but if you want a more consistent color, the grays, whites and pinks stay more true to it's original shade. I ordered a pink one as well, but returned it because I wanted to be more minimalist. But that one is actually out of stock and currently not in the color rotation of Allbirds. They occasionally bring it back from time to time though. Ah! I'm excited for the comfort level your feet is going to experience with the Allbirds loll
I actually bought the bar and then watched the video so I really hoped it would have been a nice review cause I bought two xD I thought that since I am going to travel later this year for a long time, I don't want to be buying shampoo bottles all the time, this can save me the hustle. Glad to know it works well!
I'm glad! If you're traveling with your shampoo bar and keeping it in a tin, remember to let it dry all the way before closing it up. It dries better if you have it tilted vertically rather than on it's flat surface so both sides can dry all the way!
Thanks for the tip!
Does it double as conditioner?
It actually doesn't :(. Lush sells separate conditioner bars, but I'm not totally convinced they are great compared to how much I like the Lush Shampoo Bars.
I actually used to have to use conditioner. After using this shampoo bar, I haven’t had to use conditioner at all. I have really thick ass hair that also tangles so easily. But this shampoo bar works great on my hair.
i want to get one, if i put it in the travel tin will it still melt? I live in a dorm with a communal bathroom and idk how i can store my bar
I, strangely, recently moved into a communal place where I share a bathroom so I have to keep my bathroom stuff with me too! I've learned that the travel tin is NOT great for keeping things solid, the lush bar ended up melting and sticking to the bottom. So, instead, you can use the soap saver in the video and cut it to the size of the tin, then put it at the bottom so the liquid will move to the bottom. Even better is to let it air dry for awhile before closing the lid. I actually keep my face bar soap in an open mini mason jar to let it air dry too (without a soap saver at the bottom), making sure to clean the jar from time to time. The face bar is always on it's side so it doesn't stick to the bottom. Hope this gives you options!
Hey! I want to buy and try one. But where is better to buy- lush or different shop? I am from Latvia and we dont have those here. Do they send them also by post?
Hi
Hi!
Really like your videos! keep up the good work :) you motivated me to try to use less plastic!
Thanks Amber! Yeah, it's a great feeling using less plastic, I imagine one less going into our oceans or landfills, avoiding the damage it would cause for the next 100 years or so since it doesn't fully decompose. I'm happy that you're going to use less plastic now!
I just purchased one and I wanted to know more about what I purchased so that's how I ended up here lol
Same!
I’ve tried 2, Soak And Float (I got this recommended for my type of hair by someone working at the shop) and New. So far I have no luck at all. It gets my hair pretty dry during the wash (lots of solid soaps also do this to my skin) and on the long term my scalp gets dry, and flaky, and incredibly itchy. It’s not like that at first but over time it builds up and it itches so bad, even with a good liquid conditioner. I haven’t tried conditioner bar but I really hope I get more luck.
Aw man that sounds awful. It's crazy how different people's reactions to products can be. Do you think maybe you're allergic to the chemicals in the solid shampoo bars? Have you tried one without Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or any chemicals at all? There are some pure organic ones. I am thinking about trying out shampoo bars without this chemical to see if that will still keep my hair 'feel' clean. If you're not getting this reaction with bottled shampoos, then it might be some chemical in the solid shampoo bars that isn't working for you. If you are getting the same reaction, then it might be a skin condition too that a dermatologist can look at. I've had scalp trouble as well and one visit to the dermatologist got me all fixed up!
TheModernGreenLife I haven’t tried others so I don’t know, I’m completely new to this, I started at the end of this summer. I’ll compare the ingredients and see.
I Iove shampoo bars
I'm currently living in the philippines, and I use local shampoo bars called ecobars since Lush isnt sold here. Bought em in August and still not done with em in the middle of October. Shampoo bars really do last long time!
Hello :) I also live in the Philippines and Lush is sold here :) Online and In stores
Do you still use conditioner or just the shampoo bar?
I use both! I got the purple conditioner bar I believe it is Jasmine. It doesn't lather the way the shampoo bar does. I actually rub it straight on the ends of my hair. I wouldn't say it's exactly like the liquid conditioners, because it doesn't give my hair a super fluffy feeling, but it does keep it smooth.
U need more jump cuts
Stainless steel tongue brush is on my ZW wishlist. I’m still using my plastic one until it dulls out.
A little plastic here and there is not the end of the world. Appreciate the video, but don't stress too much about little things, you will live longer.
Dan DCC91 ... said 1 billion other people on this planet, everyday.. that’s how I used to think too until I was more aware of what plastic waste is doing to our environment and our marine life (only 9% of plastic actually gets recycled... and takes hundreds of years to break down) I applaud her for trying to reduce waste and educating others. Great video! I’m looking into shampoo bars and this video certainly helped. Keep up the great work:) new subscriber over here! 🙌🏼
@@amusedal I mean your time would be better spent trying to convince other people not to buy bottled waters or recycling better than stressing about every tiny plastic wrapper. Read again what I wrote. If you are THAT serious about your carbon footprint that you are worrying about a plastic wrapper of your shampoo bar you have to get a new one of every 3 months, why drive a car or have a phone? Or have a house? Probably more plastic wasted in manufacturing any one of those things than you will ever save in shampoo bar wrappings in your life. Seriously, do some math.
@@amusedal amusedal Go build your own house from trees you chopped down with axes you made yourself with metal ores you mind yourself and tree branches you chopped yourself. And make your own soap from the whatever ingredients you obtained yourself and go to work on a horseback. Use only pencils you made yourself with only natural ingredients you obtained yourself. Don't use any consumer electronics or wear designer goods. Ffs, the clothes she is wearing probably had more plastic for packaging than she will ever waste in shampoo bar wrappings.
