    Hey Taz, you did really well. A lot of people refer to this as the low waste movement instead of zero waste now because even the most "" perfect"" influencers aren't perfect and at the end of the day its not our fault entirely, it's companies who need to innovate more with their packaging and make stiff more widely available. You were way too hard on yourself, you did great and this shows that you care. The important thing is you try to implement these things into your life outside of the challenge, at the very least in some parts. Well Done Taz ❤️🌱🌍

      Yeah, it would be really cool to see a more user friendly 'Low Waste' option. People can get very hung up on the technicalities of a challenge and trying to stay in certain parameters, but it would be cool to see just how much a difference is made by smaller changes

    This is actually a good showcase on the topic of “ableism” in the zero-waste movement. Like you had stated, some people do not have the means to go out of their way to buy a specific product, and some people depend on things like plastic straws for their disability. I think the focus is to be mindful of the products you use but also not shame anyone (and yourself) for using products that do cause waste.

      oh i sooo agree , especially with the plastic straw comment.
      i worked in a cafe and had a lovely disabled couple. (she was in a wheelchair i think with advanced MS and he had some other issues but was relatively fit)
      she always drank a latte macchiato , tall glass with a plastic straw. i did stash away straws for her so other customers didnt take them , so she always had one if needed. but nowadays you cant even order plastic straws :/

      I thought about Taz having ADHD and all the extra steps this creates and how difficult this might be to maintain if it wasn’t for a video. Maybe if she found the zero waste shop gave her less anxiety because it’s smaller(maybe less overwhelming) it could work. I am not any kind of expert on adhd or mental health, but just wanted to add this to the conversation if we could all do a bit however imperfectly but allow ourselves grace with our own challenges.

    Dental professional here! The lush dental products arent that great :( They can be very abrasive and don't contain fluoride which is essential to help protect from tooth decay! And the abrasiveness can damage your enamel over time and make your teeth look very yellow overtime :( A much better alternative is Parla toothpaste tabs which are avail in shops like boots or sainsburys, they are designed by dentists and contain all the minerals needed to keep your teeth healthy, none of the abrasive ingredients. Parla also come in glass containers and you buy refills ;) x

      @@chabababa4022 there isn’t a great deal on the market in lieu of fluoride. Hydroxyapatite toothpastes are becoming more commonplace but research is still being done on their efficacy and they’re very pricey in comparison to a 50p toothpaste with fluoride. As for it being essential - there are stacks and stacks of quality medical research out there on the role of fluoride in preventing tooth decay. I recommend using quality trusted websites to do research on like pubmed. As with anything the “risks” of a product lies within the dose - in the same way chocolate is toxic to dogs it is to humans - we just physically cannot consume the amount needed to cause us any harm. Similar with toothpastes and fluoride- you would have to intentionally consume vast amounts to cause yourself damage

    I think what a lot of people dont realize about plastic containers ( for an example the ones you got from lush) is that you can wash them throughly and clean them, then reuse to store different things. paperclips, pins and so on. A lot of the plastic things that people throw away can be reused for greater good.

      @@lune8136 I think a better alternative (since some things do need plastic - like the bread Taz bought. It wouldn’t have gone stale so fast if it wasn’t loose) would be to have packaging that can widely be recycled (so much of it can’t, it’s maddening!) or have the necessary packaging be made from plastic that has already been recycled. Or just have packaging that makes sense - those cookies Taz accidentally bought, I could understand the plastic sleeve since again, the cookies would go stale just in the box (unless they could make it air tight like Pringles do but then the tube would probably need a plastic lid to protect the seal) but if the manufacturer had just made the box cylindrical and just slightly larger than the cookies they wouldn’t have needed that plastic insert tray at all. Poor packaging design wastes so much plastic.
      I must be honest though, I feel a lot of these so-called zero waste companies are taking the piss and that’s only pushing people even further away from trying to reduce plastic waste, £12 for deodorant? Absolutely not.

    This was pretty good. Zero waste is actually more about reducing waste where you can and improving over time. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. It makes way more of a difference if you reduce waste consistently than if you do absolutely no waste for a week or month. It is really hard and not realistic to remove all waste for most people, but small actions over time really help, like getting the loose fruit and veg and bringing your own bags or containers or cup.

    Hi Taz,
    Just to let you know that the orange juice is in something called a ‘Tetra Pak’ which isn’t completely cardboard, but can be recycled, no hate, just telling you ❤️😊
    Also: Wild deodorant is amazing - I would highly recommend it - it’s a really great company.
    And in answer to the tripod question, the lowest waste and most eco friendly option would be to buy one second hand to reduce the emissions of a new one made of virgin materials, so maybe you could do that. 😊

    Hi Taz! Just wanted to leave some information on this video that is very important in the Low Waste movement. Plastic is not our enemy! Plastic is very harmful to the planet, that's is for sure, but if we account for the total carbon emissions, sometimes, cardboard has a higher footprint than plastic (if the plastic will be used several times). Another part of the low waste movement is being conscious about what we buy and most importantly using what we already have, YES even if it is plastic, as reusing is the best policy :) The less we buy what we don't need will eventually reduce production, both production and transportation are what increase the footprint of a specific product. For more information, I will suggest checking out: Gittemary, Shelbi, and Sustainably Vegan! Hope this helps everyone who is starting this amazing journey

    Urgh Taz 😭 this was painful to watch, and so frustrating to see how confused you were - good work for giving it a shot. It just shows how incredibly complex this topic is made to feel and it shouldn’t be that way ☹️ it doesn’t have to be that way!
    First of all the easiest way to be lower impact/more sustainable (whatever buzzword you want to use) is to USE WHAT YOU ALREADY OWN 😊 Going out and buying new ‘low impact things’ is simply a trick to get you to buy stuff, stuff that you might not like (toothpaste) and end up throwing away!
    You also really seemed to be obsessing about packaging but really you want to buy things with little or no packaging at all. Sadly packaging is still waste and even if it can be recycled it rarely is, (sad but true just google it) a lot of this recycled/recyclable mumbo jumbo is nothing more than green washing.
    Plastic can only be recycled a few times, paper or card that has plastic and or foil coating is rarely recycled (often food packaging). Glass and metal are the best options as they can be recycled infinitely!
    You are fortunate to live in London and have an abundance of physical shops where you can buy more planet friendly options, plus you can order a lot of this stuff online. I live in Vietnam but even here I can get deodorant and toothpaste that are not weird, cruelty free, vegan, work and come in metal tubes so are completely recyclable - metal is something that’s more likely to be recycled! (Still not enough)
    Fruit and veg you can get from a market (orange juice comes from oranges not cartons - then you can compost the peel or better still chop it up, mix it with rubbing alcohol solution, leave it to sit for a couple of weeks before diluting with distilled water - add to a spray bottle and voila surface cleaner that smells yum) and pretty much everything else you can get from a zero waste store.
    It doesn’t have to be expensive, you can make some of these things yourself - just search on Pinterest you’ll find loads of ideas.
    In answer to your tripod breaking - get it repaired or buy a used one on eBay/Facebook marketplace/similar.
    The salt - of course you can use it, it was already in your cupboard. The best way to lower your impact is to not buy things that you don’t need.
    Being lower waste isn’t about packaging and it isn’t about restriction it’s about thinking about the consequences of your actions. Just think of it like how you thrift and buy second hand clothes just on a bigger scale. Buy better, buy less and reuse as much as possible. If you buy something in a plastic container then what can you use the container for? Don’t let all this complicated nonsense confuse you, you’re already doing great!! ❤️

    Feels so weird having to play around finding recycle-able plastic.

      Yes, I was horrified when I lived in England that so many things were deemed non-recyclable, things I had been recycling for years in Sweden. But we have to remember that recycling is the last option, the most important thing is to reduce the amount of waste we’re creating, whether it’s recyclable or not.

    Besides the challenge itself I found it very interesting to see what options exist in the UK. Shampoo bars for example are actually gaining in popularity in Germany and you can buy them almost everywhere for an affordable price. Also Lidl and Aldi, as well as other stores offer you re-usable nets for your vegetables and fruits instead of plastic or paper bags. Obviously even in Germany many brands pretty much only greenwash their products but I found it very interesting to see, what the it’s like in the Uk 🇬🇧

    Hey Taz, to help with the meat issue. Cook it first before adding any veg at all. Fully cook it, and while it's cooking season it with salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of soy sauce. Then turn the heat down and add the veg and tomato sauce as well as the rest of the seasoning. You can do this for any recipe.
    I learned to cover up the taste of meat because when I was in nursing school I had to learn anatomy off of cadavers. Really puts you off the taste of meat. I would have become vegetarian but I have a condition that prevents absorption of plant based iron and supplements just aren't enough. Put me in a tight spot but I learned to cope. Also barbecue sauce, cook your meat in that and it also helps.

Also, you did really well with this challenge, in a world that doesn’t make it easy. No matter how many pledges are made by merchants to reduce waste, they fail to make it easy for the consumer whether it’s by the prices or the availability. Until they tackle that, people aren’t going to try very hard and it’s never going to have the desired effect. I think highlighting the struggle is a start, so well done to you.

I think one of the most important things we can do is be mindful of the purchases we make throughout our lifetime because whilst I think we should all bear in mind sustainability when we choose to buy something, we have to think of the price tag as well. For example, it was great to see you buy loose veg but also it was really great of you to explain the price tag surrounding the deodorant as, despite its sustainable nature, the price tag may not be for everyone at the current stage in life. I hope that not only you but us viewers can take away from this video that living a more sustainable life begins with being aware and mindful of your spending power, and, importantly, doing one step at a time :)

    This is such a journey, and you are definitely getting an A for effort! Even 1 change, such as that deodarant, or making sure you only buy the loose veggies, is such a huge step in the right direction. It's quite difficult going all in at once, but rather we change our lifestyle slowly as we discover new products and can easily swap them out in our lives. I loved that you took your own containers to places too!!
    The tripod thing was really tough. I'd look at things like whether you can you get the tripod repaired? And when you buy, can you look for a second hand option on facebook marketplace or other websites? When throwing out your tripod, can you look at donating or leaving it somewhere it is likely to be taken apart and recycled/reused? Sometimes, we do need to buy new things and that's totally okay, as long as we simply try to be better than before even in small ways we find easiest :)

    I've been using the Wild deodorant for a few months now and what I can say of it is, while technically more expensive than regular deodorant, it lasted me way longer, both as far as usage (I bought it at the beginning of January and only used the refill this week) and scent (lasts more than the whole day. With regular deodorants I'd have to wash even two or three times a day and reapply sometimes, while this one lasts all day and, when I went camping, one swipe lasted until the next morning while still smelling very nice).
    So I can definitely recommend it! :D
