00:00:20,093 --> 00:00:21,933
Speaker 2: It's funny, you know, when we're at the sort of

6
00:00:22,333 --> 00:00:24,173
Speaker 2: rough start of the year and I know where what's

7
00:00:24,293 --> 00:00:28,413
Speaker 2: a few weeks in now, But there's often a list

8
00:00:28,453 --> 00:00:31,653
Speaker 2: of like the best products or the must have items

9
00:00:31,693 --> 00:00:34,013
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty five or twenty twenty six. But you've

10
00:00:34,013 --> 00:00:35,733
Speaker 2: got a different kind of list for us this morning,

11
00:00:35,733 --> 00:00:38,933
Speaker 2: the things you are not buying in twenty twenty six.

12
00:00:39,613 --> 00:00:43,493
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, it will start up strong with paper towels.

13
00:00:43,493 --> 00:00:45,693
Speaker 2: Oh, you're not buying paper towels.

14
00:00:45,853 --> 00:00:48,133
Speaker 3: No, I haven't brought paper towels for a very long time,

15
00:00:49,933 --> 00:00:52,533
Speaker 3: and they don't plan on going back to them twenty six.

16
00:00:53,053 --> 00:00:55,493
Speaker 2: So why not, because I mean they're made of paper.

17
00:00:55,973 --> 00:00:58,773
Speaker 3: They're made of paper. But it's still a single use products,

18
00:00:59,093 --> 00:01:03,493
Speaker 3: you know, using finite resources that just you know, don't

19
00:01:03,533 --> 00:01:07,973
Speaker 3: have infinite amounts to make paper towels planet and they

20
00:01:08,093 --> 00:01:11,253
Speaker 3: cost money, so you know, I'd rather save money and

21
00:01:11,413 --> 00:01:15,453
Speaker 3: just use cloths, just your standard cloths. You can make

22
00:01:15,493 --> 00:01:18,493
Speaker 3: cloths from you know, I know some miner made from

23
00:01:18,533 --> 00:01:21,853
Speaker 3: like old towels or old shits and like really nice

24
00:01:21,893 --> 00:01:25,253
Speaker 3: absorbent fabric. Yeah, and just use those put them on

25
00:01:25,293 --> 00:01:25,573
Speaker 3: the wash.

26
00:01:25,773 --> 00:01:31,493
Speaker 2: Ah okay ah, I just you know, we know, see

27
00:01:31,693 --> 00:01:34,013
Speaker 2: so often you bring us ideas and I go, oh, yeah, yeah,

28
00:01:34,053 --> 00:01:35,253
Speaker 2: I could do that. But this, I don't know what

29
00:01:35,293 --> 00:01:36,453
Speaker 2: it is about paper towels.

30
00:01:36,813 --> 00:01:38,933
Speaker 3: I just mean you could try it and then see

31
00:01:38,933 --> 00:01:39,453
Speaker 3: if it works.

32
00:01:39,493 --> 00:01:41,773
Speaker 2: And I think it don't works for you, then yeah, yeah, yeah,

33
00:01:41,813 --> 00:01:44,573
Speaker 2: yeah I can so number two on your list, So

34
00:01:44,573 --> 00:01:46,893
Speaker 2: paper towels the top of the list. I think, yeah,

35
00:01:47,093 --> 00:01:49,253
Speaker 2: this might be a twenty twenty seven resolution for me.

36
00:01:49,293 --> 00:01:54,333
Speaker 3: I think bendliners, Yes, we don't need bendliners. And I

37
00:01:54,373 --> 00:01:57,413
Speaker 3: know people go, oh, that'd be so disgusting if I

38
00:01:57,413 --> 00:01:59,573
Speaker 3: didn't have a liner in my bin. But if you

39
00:01:59,613 --> 00:02:02,613
Speaker 3: are dealing with your waist responsibly, so if you're putting

40
00:02:02,613 --> 00:02:06,693
Speaker 3: all the organic meta into other your curbside compost, still

41
00:02:06,733 --> 00:02:10,893
Speaker 3: composting it at home, then you're not You don't have

42
00:02:10,933 --> 00:02:13,693
Speaker 3: a stinky, smelly bin. So if you're filling your recycling

43
00:02:13,693 --> 00:02:16,213
Speaker 3: properly too, or that you're just going to have a

44
00:02:16,293 --> 00:02:18,413
Speaker 3: waste in your bind that doesn't actually need a liner.

45
00:02:18,413 --> 00:02:21,373
Speaker 3: Your rubbish bin is enough to contain it, you know mine,

46
00:02:21,413 --> 00:02:25,293
Speaker 3: I'll spray and rinse it out after emptying it every

47
00:02:25,333 --> 00:02:28,213
Speaker 3: so often. That's yeah, no bin liners. If you do

48
00:02:28,333 --> 00:02:33,773
Speaker 3: need a liner, use like newspaper or sometimes like if

49
00:02:33,813 --> 00:02:36,373
Speaker 3: you've eaten a bag of chips, used that as a

50
00:02:36,373 --> 00:02:37,093
Speaker 3: little rubbish.

51
00:02:37,133 --> 00:02:39,933
Speaker 2: But you know something, that's my appearance. Do they like

52
00:02:39,973 --> 00:02:42,373
Speaker 2: reuse other bags and breed bags and stuff like that,

53
00:02:42,413 --> 00:02:42,693
Speaker 2: you know.

54
00:02:42,893 --> 00:02:45,013
Speaker 3: Yeah, we don't need to be buying ben liners.

55
00:02:45,093 --> 00:02:46,973
Speaker 2: Yeah right, Okay, the next one, I think I can

56
00:02:47,013 --> 00:02:49,333
Speaker 2: definitely do fast fashion. You are not buying in twenty

57
00:02:49,373 --> 00:02:49,853
Speaker 2: twenty six.

58
00:02:50,333 --> 00:02:54,893
Speaker 3: No, I do not do not care for it, to

59
00:02:54,933 --> 00:02:57,493
Speaker 3: be honest. I just kind of especially being a mom,

60
00:02:57,853 --> 00:03:00,053
Speaker 3: I just live in like the same kind of clothes

61
00:03:00,653 --> 00:03:03,493
Speaker 3: and it makes my morning's much easier. But yeah, a

62
00:03:03,533 --> 00:03:06,333
Speaker 3: fewer clothes, higher quality and seeking hand first.

63
00:03:06,733 --> 00:03:08,693
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just reckon that. I reckon. There's a lot

64
00:03:08,733 --> 00:03:11,133
Speaker 2: to be said for buying good quality. I know we've

65
00:03:11,133 --> 00:03:13,493
Speaker 2: talked about this before, but like you know, I follow

66
00:03:13,573 --> 00:03:18,373
Speaker 2: my buy It for Life sub reddit and read it

67
00:03:18,413 --> 00:03:21,333
Speaker 2: as my choice of social media these days, and there

68
00:03:21,373 --> 00:03:23,973
Speaker 2: are just so many good things where people will post

69
00:03:24,013 --> 00:03:27,013
Speaker 2: something that they bought forty years ago, like an everyday product,

70
00:03:27,053 --> 00:03:29,293
Speaker 2: but it's built so well and they've kid for it

71
00:03:29,333 --> 00:03:31,573
Speaker 2: obviously that it has kind of stood the test of time.

72
00:03:31,613 --> 00:03:33,213
Speaker 2: And I think the same thing kind of applies for

73
00:03:33,493 --> 00:03:36,853
Speaker 2: many things in life, but especially clothes. So yeah, I'm

74
00:03:36,853 --> 00:03:38,773
Speaker 2: with you on that one. You're going to be avoiding

75
00:03:39,013 --> 00:03:42,293
Speaker 2: buying like seasonal deck or from the likes of you know,

76
00:03:42,373 --> 00:03:44,253
Speaker 2: Came Out and the Wheehouse and those kind of things.

77
00:03:44,613 --> 00:03:47,853

78
00:03:48,373 --> 00:03:50,573
Speaker 3: a year, they're like, Okay, I'm going to redicate my

Speaker 3: that we just do not need to be doing. Yeah,

82
00:04:01,813 --> 00:04:04,373

83
00:04:04,453 --> 00:04:07,653
Speaker 3: and people still a kick out of buying. But we

84
