Hey @Rob Greenfield. Firstly, keep up the great work! Secondly, the links on your 100 Changes don't work. Many of them point to a .org site that no longer seems to exist. Go well :)
Rob are u vegan?
@@martinsovleig no he isn't.
It’s definitely not extreme when it’s how most people lived during most of human history
😮
I can't find blue spur here by country and soap nut
I am a community minded mother, wife, gma. I love this whole idea of creating community and being in fellowship with others. We do have lots of "libraries" and getting the whole not owning stuff concepts. it is no easy task. We've had clothng swaps. What we have that works great is a moms helping moms group and FREE all the way. Also a fantastic group of support for single moms. we do everything from inviting in dieticians, testimonies of recovered souls, and financial. My gdaughter won her first bike with training wheels. We have a bike kitchen in our town that my son got by working some hours. So more of all the ways to create community.
Thank-you Rob! 💙Blessings to you and everyone in the comments! 💙

Oh Robin you are so genuine that your word always motivate me to do more for human. Hats off to you Body for being such inspiration😊😊😊
Your videos are helping my take my sustainable efforts to the next level. Super grateful!!
I'm happy i already changed many things so far. From stopping buying unnecessary stuff to buy locally grown fruits/veggies most of the time. I still struggle with cosmetics (i have atopic skin and i already trieds tons of hand made shampoo bars/oils but can't find products that work for me), with growing my own food (i only compost i a public garden what i can't eat, and try to be as creative as possible in the kitchen to get the most of my produce), and my online time (too much time on youtube, but that's a way to educate myself)
Clothes are thrift shopped, food is 90% unpacked and vegetarian, i don't own a car, i switch off any appliance at night and during the day when i'm off to work, i don't want kids ... i feel aligned with my values this way.
Thank you for all those suggestions Rob !
Good work! Keep it up!
Haven't had a microwave for a LONG, I dont miss it at all
When I was growing up we had a bucket under the sink which caught the drain water from washing hands. We used this to flush the toilet. Also, many people talk about shutting off the water while they brush their teeth, but most don’t consider shutting off the shower while they wash. It’s quite easy - to me both easier and intuitive - to turn it on to get wet, then turn it off to wash, and then rinse. Why would I have water rinsing off the soap while I’m trying to scrub? It’s counterproductive, IMHO, to leave the shower on while I clean myself.
Rob ...Lots of love from India🇮🇳. I want to suggest the most appropriate, and healthy way to maintain menstrual hygein. Simple old cotton clothes which can be folded to make pads and wash and sundry and reuse them.
Americans would not go for that, that's where the term " on the rag " came from and many would say we've evolved from the old days. Plus very few wouldn't phantom washing the soiled rags.
Americans are the most inconvenienced by inconvenience
@@paccarcrap It is largely true unfortunately and sadly many Americans are grossed out by their own bodies and insects and soil but there are some pockets of sea change and resistance.
If you are able to, purchasing a few pairs of period underwear works much the same and more people are willing to do it. I have had a great experience using them and haven't bought pads in a couple years now.
This is one of the best straight to the point zero waste and great life tutorials I ever watched. Thank you very much.
I lay my hose (full of water) out in sun to get hot. Mid morning or mid day i have a lovely warm shower using a scoop. I have reduced to 4 litres p "shower" and use NO energy to heat the water. Love it.
rainwater collection sounds awesome. free water and a low water bill.
God bless you immensely and give you wisdom and faith in him with health and happiness
Gratitude for your light. I've also been working on the list for quite a while. Some are second nature, some require more effort. I've raised two grandchildren and taught them to care as well. Poco a Poco, things change. Be well, friend.🙏💞
I miss bulk bins. They began to fade from common view in stores, hm, last year or year before that. What were left were removed due to Covid. Do you have a video that discusses how to maintain peace and sustainability during these chaotic, fear-filled times? Light and love to you, Rob.
Rob! On the baby section one day you could talk about cloth diapers, I thought it was a hassle and is just a matter to get use, loving it!
I got so many good tips from this podcast 🌱 you are a great inspiration, thank you so much 🌱
I am excited for this! I just copied and pasted your list, and erased the things I already do, and I'm going to print my top 52 items to do as a 34-year-old and get started on my upcoming birthday!
Learning to weave stuff
Praising the Divine for your knowledge and generosity. You are an inspiration to three generations that have mostly lost their way.
I got a basket from second hand store to load my produce to decrease plastic bag use
Thank you for sharing!
Love this
I wish I could give myself to you Rob, and bring more JOY to your life, at least the half bliss you have given me. Greetings and love from San Luis Potosi, México.
Rob, thank you for your ❤️. It speaks volumes on who you are and what you stand for. I admire you & your vision. I'm trying to do better...everyday!! Thank you for being an extraordinary example.
Thank you.
Thank you so much for your time for giving us these informations!
Amazing !! Thank you for the inspiration ! ❤️

Give a pinch of freedom to others if u got legally got some
Cheers up America
Democratic country
Thanks rob again for your tips wisdom etc godbless you👍
Thank you.....that really helps....I know I feel happier and less FEAR about life since making changes that are in lone with sustainable living. I appreciate this way of life soooo much. I'll glad for this change and way out of the chaos I felt I was living in....I know the change I want to make.....I'm adding the 10 breaths into my life. I know already it really helps but I forget to do it. So im making a 3 times a day to focus on 10 breaths minimum. Thank you for the examples.
Thanks for sharing. Great tips... going to try composting first
How’s it going?
I'm going to make beeswax wraps from old t 👕. I've never used them! I'm excited to try
Grow my own food.
All's good
Can see and hear fine. 😊
I have liked this as I know I will but coming back later to watch!
- I'm alredy doing almost half of those itens! But the main thing i did was, learn autonomy skills!
Awesome 👌information
Sounds good
It's not too bad, keep going mate
Very nice video and full of good things to know and learn
❤❤
Non-delusionism is a great term that I'll start using along with non-dualism.
I commit to stop using toilet paper and paper towels and compost my waste.
I hope you got a bidet. Lol
And not use inorganic plastic...
@@dreamleaf6784 There are actually plants that act as toilet paper!!!! :))
@@ma.jbrony1754 bidet is life. Idk if you have ever tried to swap over. But it's a irreversible swap
@@dreamleaf6784 Oh, I bet!!!!! I've heard about it, but I have never had the chance to use one ever! XD
I really like your channel. Saludos desde Costa Rica :)
Your'e so Amazing, than your for being. :)
Very nice informative and entertaining video 📹
Going to look into Biogas digester to see if it can be worked into our bushblock lifestyle. Also cull my clothing and kitchen kit.
Me too
Coconut oil is the best. Lube for a squeeky door. Oral health, skin moisturizer.,cooking.. on and on.
A great book is the greener cleaner
There is something special in people who wear the same outfit.. They are authentic, and classy.. They don't waste the time shaking in front of closet, and thinking what to wear.. They have to do something more important and healthier.. Thank you for such outstanding video⬆️🙏🌅
Supermarkets in the Netherland have nog bulk possibilities. Even bigger amounts in weight are more expensive than smaller packages. Bulk shops excist, but are way too expensive when you are living on or under the poverty line.(like me)
I can't believe rain water harvesting isn't allowed in some places.
whaaat....they are really unearthly....it should be encouraged
Wow Seriously?
But if you do harvest rain water be careful, dont harvest rain water after a long period of no rain, because the water from the first time raining after a long period is going to be toxic and bad, because of all the chemicals in the air and clouds that got build up.
Cheers
I think it might because of acid rain. The amount of chemicals released through our cars,factories, etc. cause rain to become toxic.
@@denissem4854 Knowing that acid rain is the result of that, it is really sad what humanity has done to the earth and its nature.
Are there any people in the Northern Virginia area who would like to form a group to garden, following Rob’s methods?
🥰
Sorry I missed this livestream. Thank you for all the information. We are saving up for a Birki right now. The pandemic situation is causing us to dig into our savings so it may be even later before we finally have one. Stay safe Rob and TYFS!
Rob, thank you for the video! Question: how doyou suggest buying anew bike in this period of quarantine. I really want a bike right now and would love to buy one. Thank you!
43:39 Perhaps one that’s new-to-you is always a good idea if you can use/afford it!
Yes everything sounds good!(:
You should just mention happy and healthy here...
Sustainable is just a consequence of it 😃
Hi Rob, any recommendations on where to find a good carbon offset company/program?....i have been using One Tree Planted.....but wondering if you have one or some you recommend? ---Kai from Rhode Island
👍👍👍👌☺️
I save my shower/bath water and flush the "brown" down with it.
Unfortunately though I'm saving water my sewer output is not metered so it's based off/ billed according to my water usage. consumption.
Buy a Burkey for filtering my water.
I DID SIX PAGES ON THIS .
On the topic of not wasting food and composting it instead - I have a compost pile, but when researching composting, it says not to add anything new to the pile once you have the pile established, otherwise it will restart the composting process. If I compost all of my kitchen scraps into the same pile, the pile will never finish composting, correct? What do you do if you don't have enough room to start multiple piles?
Maybe divide the space in two? Fill up one, then move to the other.
Another idea is digging a small hole in your yard or garden and just filling it up with your scraps and topping with removed soil. Really easy and helps nearby plants and earthworms. But I definitely understand bc I have a hard time deciding to stop adding and let it finish breaking down so I can use it. There's also sheet or lasagne composting. Anyway, best of luck, fellow composter!
I stopped buying clothes (I have all I need), starting a backyard garden, composting, scraps go the possums and raccoons, cooking more at home and no more big box stores like Target and Walmart
No way do I want racoons and possums around. I have 5 pets and vet bills are atrocious. But koodos to you. I just don't want to attract vermin.
@@andreawimer4334 I read that possums keep ticks away and that they're good for the environment. They're not as cute as raccoons though
Hi Rob, can you please put a link where to get the Birki water filter (if I spelled that right). I've been doing many of these things for years but there's always room for improvement, thanks
Karen Jones, Berkeywaterfilters.com.... i own a travel berkey and love it
@@MrCorSmit Thanks
Bike more 💜💜💜💜🙃🙌
43:39 😎
Where can we get cruelty free wool or warm clothing?
So many people talk about changes and never get tangible.
You are the change.
I'm going to carry water from shower, washing clothes, washing hands, etc out to plants. Is Dr. Bronner's soap ok for plants and compost?
If a product came from oil like a wrapper is it a non compostable material?
Yes. A plastic wrapper will not decompose in a compost pile. Neither will it return to organic matter if buried. It will remain plastic.
Worth mentioning that the immense amount of resources required to raise an animal for meat doesn't vary much between store-bought and locally-sourced. Neither sustainable nor humane.
Yup 💯 and also all the waste (fecal matter) the animals produce gets put in lagoons and leaches into the larger waterways or it's sprayed over our crops infecting the produce we are meant to eat with things like Hep A. Look at all the produce recalls and think about why it keeps on happening.
How can you live without only two bills to pay. Please explain.
Repeated washing wears your clothes out faster. Wear more than once. I was my underware in the shower then hang on the line I have strung outside. My laundry is one small load weakly. Donate to used shops many are charities.
The video quality of this is horrific. I agree with some of the things that you're saying Rob. And I know that it's coming from a good heart. That you want to do better. So kudos to you. But not all of these things are not applicable to the majority of people. Think of it as an ala carte menu. Just pick and choose the things that you think you can do, and leave the rest to somebody else. You've chosen a very specific lifestyle, that frankly does not jive with the majority of people. I don't want to wear the same thing every day, and go around barefoot. If you want to do that, all the best to you.
How do you not pay federal taxes ?
he doesn't spend money in stores or for bills
There is no live chat
Blurred pic and occasionally sound is muffled.
Can I let you know how much energy is used to produce that birch tree fabric used to make your shirts?
What about bio fuel?
I think it depends how it is made. It could actually be more destructive than fossil fuels, I believe. Not least because some biofuels require a lot of fossil fuels to be produced.
Reduce waste from. Community
How do you not have a rent bill? If you are living off someone else they still pay for the roof over your head. I reuse everything. Not paying taxes will end up in a prison term. I admire your life. But for most of us this is so unrealistic.
It's a pity that your clip quality is not good.
So Goya is bad for canning been? So the normal farmer is bad for using a fertilizer that’s already in his soil?
If a product came from oil it is non compostable. It has been there in the ground for how many thousands of years?
Leave it in the ground ✌🏼
Stop toilet flaching
Follow this and see a volcano explode
So the same compostable materials you stand against have been here for millions of years. They haven’t transformed yet what is your response to this.
Hey man I love your frame of thought. But it’s way flawed. Beyond flawed.
How?
So the cattle farmer restricts his cattle too 100 acres rather than 1000? A book to read is “apocolipse never”
If pollutants were here for millions of years then your argument is moot.
The pollution was there before you ever got there in your thinking. And will be there thousands of years beyond you as a person.
Then that means we shouldn't try to make the world a better place? You know if oil goes from oil to plastic, it becomes not compostable. And oil pollutes the seas and earth. The problem is the oil companies instead of focusing on green energy.
If something comes from the earth then it’s from the earth. It’s the earth. It’s your platform right? Oil , tar, boo gas’s , your decomposition. Think about it. I know you have a brain.
not if processed and misplaced
All compositions are from the earth. They can’t be a pollution. They are extracted from the earth. Dugh.
So your constructive doesn’t has been fruitless. Because it’s false. Think about it.
This is great! Would love a place for folks to share any additional ideas. People come up with some pretty creative stuff once the inspiration spark is lit. Thanks ❤
