1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Hey guys, I'm Gaily Shore and this is too much

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 1: to say, question it out you. Okay. So for starters,

3
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,640
Speaker 1: I wanted to remind you guys to send in your

4
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 1: crazy ex stories. I have a few, but I want

5
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: to be able to share several and like kind of

6
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: really kick off the segment with some strong ones. And

7
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 1: I have like two that I really like. Um, but

8
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,440
Speaker 1: you can send in those stories completely anonymously or not.

9
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:43,319
Speaker 1: Just let me know in the message UM to two

10
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: six And there's there's some crazy stories. One of them

11
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: somebody their mom is named Amy, and their mom amy

12
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: them like as in like hooked up with their ex

13
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: boyfriend like their mom. And I was like, dang, it's

14
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: just like, thank you so much for this song. I

15
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: really appreciate it, Like Buck, that's crazy. Okay. So on

16
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,399
Speaker 1: this week's episode, I want to talk about something that's

17
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 1: important to me, UM that I have a strong opinion on,

18
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: and that's the environment and finding ways that we can

19
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: keep this earth as beautiful as it is and leave

20
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 1: it better than we found it. I think that there's

21
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: a lot that we're doing wrong as just a species,

22
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: and um, there's a lot that you can do on

23
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 1: a really small level that helps reduce your carbon footprint

24
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:46,960
Speaker 1: and keeps the ozone layer intact. It's really hard to

25
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: not do things like shop at the mall and like

26
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: to give up eating meat or whatever, like anything like that. Like,

27
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: so this isn't me telling you to to deal in absolutes.

28
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,000
Speaker 1: This is me telling you ways that if you cut back,

29
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 1: you can make a positive impact on the environment. And

30
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 1: some people are able to give it up um completely,

31
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:09,520
Speaker 1: which is amazing. But I think that it is so

32
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: much better to try even a little bit than not

33
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:17,840
Speaker 1: try at all. And my friend Avasapalsa is an incredible

34
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 1: songwriter I wrote out of it with her um and

35
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: she posted something about how like normalize being an imp

36
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: perfect vegan or an imperfect vegetarian, Like you can still

37
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: you know, if you're vegan, you can still eat the

38
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: cake your grandma gave you. You're just like you know,

39
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 1: like little things like that, like you can you can

40
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: bend the rules. It doesn't mean that you have to

41
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: give everything up completely. But if you are eating meat,

42
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: there's um a lot of ways that you can do

43
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: it that are good for the environment. Because one of

44
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: the worst things for theos on layer is cow farts.

45
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: Which is methane. And the more that, like the commercial

46
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: meat industry, Like I think something like to one third

47
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: of all farmland on Earth, one third goes just to

48
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: feeding livestock. So think about all of that because also,

49
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 1: like I mean, any sort of commercial farming really isn't

50
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 1: great for the environment, even like growing vegetables, So nobody

51
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: gets to get on their high horse. If you're a vegan,

52
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 1: you still like killed a bunch of birds with your

53
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: avocados because of the stuff they have to spray. Even

54
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: when it's organic, even when it's like not using pesticides,

55
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: it's still like unnatural stuff in an environment, and things

56
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 1: die when you're clearing a field. I can link to

57
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: a video on my Twitter of a farmer explaining that.

58
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 1: But like, I just don't believe in people getting on

59
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: their high horse and acting like they're better than somebody

60
00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: because of their dietary choices or lifestyle choices. So that

61
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: being said, um, even cutting back on me like one

62
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: meal a day, Like there's this thing called meatless mondays.

63
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: We explore different options for meals that don't have meat

64
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 1: in them and try different things. Honestly, like tofu is

65
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: can be good, but soy farming is really bad too.

66
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 1: And again this is why nobody gets to get on

67
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: their high horse about being a vegan, because you're eating

68
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: a ton of soy and that's really bad. So there's

69
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: there's options. I mean, honestly, impossible burgers. They knew when

70
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,520
Speaker 1: they were developing that that if it wasn't good for

71
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: the environment, like, what was the fucking point? You know?

72
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: Because the point of eating less meat for so many people.

73
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: Some people don't like it. Some people it's ethical reasons,

74
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:44,480
Speaker 1: and some people it's environmental or a little bit of

75
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 1: all three. Um. But they knew that like a large

76
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,280
Speaker 1: demographic of people who would like a large part of

77
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: the demographic of people who would be interested in impossible

78
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: burgers would be doing it for environmental reasons. So if

79
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: they like weren't sustainable, what what's the point. So they

80
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: knew that, and at first, like making the burgers was

81
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 1: really hard because they found this compound called hem h

82
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: G M E in plants and it's has the same

83
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,839
Speaker 1: prefix as hemoglobin, which is blood, so it's like plant

84
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 1: blood and honestly, that's what makes burgers tastes like burgers.

85
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: So they found this and like in the original stages,

86
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: of impossible meat. They were taking it out of the

87
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: plant and like like they were using it um in

88
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: a not concentrated way, and that wasn't sustainable. They were

89
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: using a ton of energy, and like if they were

90
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: doing that on a massive scale, it would be really

91
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: really bad. So they found a way to ferment the

92
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: hem and make it super super concentrated so they only

93
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: have to use a little bit, which was like how

94
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,880
Speaker 1: the impossible burger came about and how they were able

95
00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: to like justify that as a really good alternative to meat,

96
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 1: And honestly, impossible burgers are really good too, Like they

97
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: have the right texture. The only thing about um impossible

98
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 1: and Beyond burgers is like there's sometimes like a very

99
00:06:15,200 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: distinct smell about them. I find it more with Beyond burgers,

100
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: but like when I'm cooking with them, I like wear

101
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 1: gloves because I don't want my hands to smell like

102
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: it later. And that's like really the only drawback. Beyond

103
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: sausages are great. I don't notice a weird smell from those.

104
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: It's just from like the impossible like beef imitation things.

105
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: But those are both really great options for trying things

106
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: that don't have um meat in them, and yeah, I

107
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: mean and even like in your cereal, it's like like

108
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:48,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't even notice if you're putting milk

109
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: in their versus almond milk or I prefer cash and milk.

110
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: I think that's really good and it's just like a

111
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 1: little creamier, but you put in your cereal, the cereal

112
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: tastes the same. And that's of one meal that you

113
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: aren't using animal products. So a little bit can go

114
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: a really really long way. And if you want to

115
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: keep eating meat just all the time, there's ways that

116
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: you can do that that are way more sustainable. UM,

117
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 1: going to farmers markets and local farmers. There's a place

118
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: in Nashville called Porter Road Butcher and Um, they are

119
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 1: super super environmentally conscious. They come from like I think

120
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: it's only like five farms across Tennessee and Kentucky, and

121
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: they like they have like a cheese section, which I love,

122
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: and I get my eggs from there too, because they're

123
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: just from like local farms and people that aren't you know,

124
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: because in order to be free range, like quote unquote

125
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,920
Speaker 1: on either chicken or like on the eggs, all they

126
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: have to do is let the chickens out once a day.

127
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,200
Speaker 1: That's it, just once a day, so then they can

128
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: go right back into those coops where they're all like,

129
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, they don't move around at all, like all

130
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: those like horrible videos from Petera that used in your Facebook,

131
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: like even the free range ones, even like the I

132
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: think it's called the Happy Happy egg or whatever they

133
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: it's it's just as bad to be completely honest. So

134
00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: if you can buy eggs locally, like that's really great.

135
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 1: You can go to your local health food store and

136
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 1: typically fine ones like just look for ones that say

137
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 1: they're from somewhere around your hometown. But so I get

138
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: my exit porter Red Butcher, and I did some research

139
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: on one of the places that they get their cheese from,

140
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,520
Speaker 1: and it's somewhere in Tennessee. It's like in Chattanooga, I think.

141
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 1: But their farm is completely solar powered, which I thought

142
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: was super cool, and they like their animals are just

143
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 1: wandering about doing their thing. That's it. Um it's called

144
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: Sequatchie Co Farm And it's basically just like a couple

145
00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:55,760
Speaker 1: of friends started this and and wanted to make cheese,

146
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: and um, okay, so this is it. Says our small

147
00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 1: creamery is a hundred sense solar powered and strives to

148
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: be as sustainable as possible. Our biggest waste product way

149
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: is fed to Sequatchicos woodlock pigs. The cheeses of the

150
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,960
Speaker 1: creamery are all made every day using the freshest rock hows,

151
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: milt pretties directly on the farm, and the cows just

152
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:15,720
Speaker 1: like get to wander, like the one you're driving down

153
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 1: a back road and you see just like a bunch

154
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:20,559
Speaker 1: of cows living their best lives, like it could be

155
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: this cheese company. So there's ways that you can still

156
00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: buy animal products and do it in a more eco

157
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: conscious way. And so I have started doing that, and

158
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 1: my boyfriend eats me and I was like, hey, so

159
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: if you're going to keep doing this and we live together, Um,

160
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,320
Speaker 1: having Tyson Chicken in my fridge kind of makes me

161
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: want to vomit. What if we went to Port Road

162
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,240
Speaker 1: Butcher and I just paid the difference every time for

163
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: like what it would normally cost versus like because it

164
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: is more expensive, you're like looking at it on a

165
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: you know, it's a smaller scale, and it's they probably

166
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: actually pay their employees fairly. I mean, I will talk

167
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 1: about I said all day. That's just kind of kind

168
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: of icky, and the pink slime stuff was like very real,

169
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: like the commercial meat industries gross um, but they like

170
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: also if you're a meat eat like you can tell

171
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: that's why way good beef is like the top of

172
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:21,679
Speaker 1: the beef pyramid because like they massage the cows, and

173
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 1: the cows are i mean until they're you know, killed

174
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 1: and made into me, but they're like treated really well,

175
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: and like that's why it tastes good. So it's like

176
00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 1: if you just remove all the like being stuff from it,

177
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 1: the better the animals treated, the better the animals fed,

178
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,319
Speaker 1: the better the animal taste. So this is just my

179
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, informing people on what they can do it

180
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: if they don't eat meat. So Sam started doing that

181
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: and he's really enjoyed it. He's really enjoyed the steaks

182
00:10:47,840 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: and um, I really liked the cheese. So that's food. Um.

183
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: Obviously many opinions on that one. But another thing that

184
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,400
Speaker 1: you might not think about is the products you're using

185
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 1: that are like cotton products. So I used to use

186
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 1: these cotton pads to take off my makeup and like

187
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: take off my nail polish and all of these different things,

188
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,600
Speaker 1: and I just was like, oh, it's cotton. There's no

189
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: way that can be bad for the environment. But there's

190
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: all these like you know, um synthetic materials in there

191
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: that don't break down, and so it takes like years,

192
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 1: like almost a decade, I think, for these cotton pads

193
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 1: to break down and you know, be able to go

194
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: back into the earth. And even then it's like there's

195
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 1: still like plastics as part of them, and you just

196
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: don't think about it. So I made a switch recently

197
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: to these washable ones, and so they look just like

198
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: cotton pads. Um. They're like made out of terry cloth,

199
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: and then a couple of them are microfiber and it's

200
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: like a multi pack. But they come in this little

201
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: netted bag. And what you do is like you know,

202
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 1: you use a new one every day, and then you

203
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 1: put it in the bag and then you tie it

204
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: up really tight and put it in with your laundry.

205
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: And I would definitely recommend using like unscented detergent or

206
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,679
Speaker 1: something like really natural when you're doing that, because you're

207
00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: putting it on your face and like maybe tied isn't

208
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: going to be the best thing for not breaking out,

209
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,240
Speaker 1: but um, you just pop it in there and then

210
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: it comes out, and it seems some of these things

211
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: seem like they're really expensive at first, but because you know,

212
00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 1: the cotton pads I bought were like two fifty and

213
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: then these ones were like sixteen dollars. But the point

214
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:40,520
Speaker 1: is you don't have to replace them. So I'm spending

215
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: two dollars and fifty cents every time I needed cotton

216
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: pads versus spending sixteen dollars one time. And on a

217
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: similar note, Q tips are not biodegradable. There was a

218
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,520
Speaker 1: big stink about it because I mean, those are you

219
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 1: You can't get reusable que tips, that's not an option.

220
00:12:56,960 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: So Q tips just came out with a biodegradable one

221
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,360
Speaker 1: and I started buying those, really excited about it. Um,

222
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: the whole packaging is about agreeable as well, and as

223
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 1: far as like makeup wipes go, because I really prefer

224
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: to do that. Like my skincare routine is like I

225
00:13:13,200 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: take off, I use makeup remover, take my makeup off.

226
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: I use a makeup wipe to do that, and then

227
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:23,200
Speaker 1: I washed my face and then I used toner with

228
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:25,880
Speaker 1: a cotton pad, and then I put on moisturizer. So

229
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: that's a lot of products and like occasionally I'll have

230
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: to do that twice a day, like with makeup, and

231
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: so you're using like so many wipes. I mean you

232
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: take your makeup off every day, that's three a year.

233
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 1: So just envisioned the pile of these things that do

234
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: not break down for years, just sitting in a landfill somewhere.

235
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,080
Speaker 1: But um, there's a brand called Yes To. There's like

236
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: yes to carrots, Yes to tomatoes, yest whatever, And they're

237
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:58,120
Speaker 1: a natural, cruelty free brand, and their wipes are bad agreeable.

238
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:01,240
Speaker 1: The thing is they're packaging isn't But this is what

239
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Like it's so much better to try than

240
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: to not do anything at all. So highly recommend those.

241
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: They're really affordable. I think they're like maybe a dollar

242
00:14:08,840 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: more than the other option, and I've never broken out

243
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 1: from those. So just like little swaps you can make. Um.

244
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: When it comes to like food storage, there's um you know,

245
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I use usually use like these glass

246
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: um like tupperware sort of containers, and I really like those.

247
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 1: They don't get that weird um like orange film on them.

248
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: You know, like when you put spaghetti in like a

249
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: plastic little tupperware and it just like is that like

250
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 1: nasty orange and it doesn't go away. I got glass

251
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 1: ones because I hated that and it just like a

252
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: rationally bothered me. So those are already better for the environment,

253
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:53,160
Speaker 1: and they last a lot longer, and I just really

254
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: like those. But if you're using like saran wrap or

255
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: something like that, um there's a swap you can make

256
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: for beeswax rap, So they're like a I think it's

257
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 1: like a canvas kind of material and then it's coated

258
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 1: in bees wax, so it will like adhere around whatever

259
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 1: thing you're wrapping in it. You can like make little

260
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: sandwich bags out of it and fold it up and

261
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: do a bunch of different things. You literally just like

262
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,640
Speaker 1: wipe them off with a sponge and like hang them

263
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: to dry. But they're coated in wax, so they don't

264
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: really absorb a lot of um water or anything. But

265
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: the cool thing about those two is you can a

266
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: lot of them come with a bees wax bar, so

267
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 1: you can just like rub it on the cloth if

268
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: the bees wax starts to come off, and like refresh it.

269
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: So those last a super super long time, and bees

270
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:41,680
Speaker 1: wax is a lot better than other sorts of wax,

271
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: like like I think, I think soy candles are good.

272
00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:50,200
Speaker 1: Cool coconut wax is good if there's one that's really bad,

273
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 1: and I can't think of it off the top of

274
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: my head, but um, it's a really really great option.

275
00:15:55,160 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: And again, like you know, you're buying these roles of

276
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: saran wrap all the time, and then you by these

277
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,600
Speaker 1: bees wax things for like twenty dollars, but then you

278
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: don't have to buy surran wrap all year. Another thing

279
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:11,000
Speaker 1: is reusing glass jars. So I get this um type

280
00:16:11,040 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: of yogurt that comes in a glass jar, and then

281
00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 1: I usually save them, and I am have been putting

282
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: my veggies and herbs in water like similar to a um,

283
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: like just what you would do to flowers, like I

284
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: read about it, and it's actually works so well. Like

285
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 1: I have this parsley that has been in my fridge

286
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:30,240
Speaker 1: for like a week and it looks like it did

287
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,400
Speaker 1: the day I bought it, And if I just put

288
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: that in the drawer, it would have been like that nasty, soggy.

289
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 1: I get really grossed out by things like that, Like

290
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: any sort of food that's gone bad, like mold scares

291
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:44,160
Speaker 1: the ship out of me. So I'm like always devising

292
00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: ways to not ever have to see mold in my fridge,

293
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,800
Speaker 1: and um, this has been one of the best hacks

294
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:51,840
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. But so you can reuse these glass

295
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 1: containers and you know, obviously you can recycle some of

296
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: them too, because you're not going to keep every single

297
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 1: yogurt container of every single yoga you ever eat. But

298
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: there's ways to reuse it and reduce, reuse, recycle. And

299
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: that brings me to the reduced part, which just means

300
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 1: like buy less fucking ship. And I think that's something

301
00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: we could all do. Um. I've I've certainly could um.

302
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: But that applies to my next topic very well, um,

303
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,720
Speaker 1: which is like fast fashion. So well, I'm not going

304
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,040
Speaker 1: to call it the brands, you guys know what I'm

305
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 1: talking about, but like anything that's um, you know, made

306
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: in a factory, mass produced, usually ripping off smaller artists designs,

307
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 1: they are really bad for the environment and they're not

308
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: high quality. So you're buying these clothes and you're gonna

309
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,159
Speaker 1: need to buy a new one super soon because it's

310
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:44,879
Speaker 1: going to fall apart or get pilly or whatever. And

311
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:46,879
Speaker 1: you know, if you spend more money on clothes, they

312
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: last longer. Like that's the same thing with jeans, Like

313
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 1: how long a pair of Levies last me versus how

314
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: long a pair of forever twenty one jeans last me

315
00:17:55,600 --> 00:18:01,920
Speaker 1: is like massive, God that leafblowers so loud, guys, sorry

316
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:05,400
Speaker 1: about that. I am not in the closet today. Um,

317
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 1: the neighborhoods not started playing music yet, so it's just

318
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:13,160
Speaker 1: the leaf blower guy. Hey, sir, h nobody cares about

319
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: what I'm doing up here anyways. So um, as I

320
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:20,120
Speaker 1: was saying fast fashion, you know, the more you spend

321
00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: on clothes, the longer they last. And like if you

322
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:23,919
Speaker 1: find a pair of jeans that you get attached to,

323
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,479
Speaker 1: those suckers can last you like five, six, seven years.

324
00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:29,480
Speaker 1: I have some clothes in my closet that I've had

325
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 1: legitimately since high school that I still wear, and they're

326
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: all things that like I spent like a little bit

327
00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:38,960
Speaker 1: more money on or there are things that are from

328
00:18:39,040 --> 00:18:41,800
Speaker 1: a high end brand that I got second hand, which

329
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,800
Speaker 1: was also another great way to help the environment. And

330
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,239
Speaker 1: so like I own a bunch of things from like,

331
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, fast fashion places, but I bought them second hand,

332
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:56,679
Speaker 1: so like totally doesn't count. And yeah, I go to

333
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 1: this story called Buffalo Exchange. A lot. They don't have

334
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: them in like every city, but if you live in

335
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 1: a big enough city, they probably they probably have them.

336
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: The Nashville one is amazing. Um, I get so much

337
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 1: stuff there, and a lot of stuff's new and has

338
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:12,160
Speaker 1: a tag still on. I mean I've even brought stuff

339
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 1: there to sell that's new with tags on because I

340
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: was just too lazy to return it. And um, you

341
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: can find some really great stuff at really great prices.

342
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:25,000
Speaker 1: Obviously Plato's Closet to um. But what I'll do for

343
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Exchanges like come in with a giant box of

344
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: clothes and sell it for like three store credit and

345
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:34,080
Speaker 1: then every time I want to go shopping, I just

346
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:36,359
Speaker 1: go to Buffalo and I use my store credit and

347
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:39,680
Speaker 1: so I'm like literally exchanging clothes for new ones, which

348
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:44,760
Speaker 1: is the definition of like sustainability, and um, yeah, it's

349
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:47,000
Speaker 1: it's really cool and I don't know, I just you

350
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: find cooler ship. Like when I was in high school

351
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: going to the mall, everybody had the same Infinity score

352
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 1: of like two thousand eleven. Everybody had the same Infinity

353
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,320
Speaker 1: scarf because there was three stores that teenagers opped at

354
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 1: at the Mall and we all went there for back

355
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: to school shopping. But when you second hand shop, you

356
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 1: can get some really cool stuff that you know you're

357
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: not going to see on anybody else. And Nashville, um,

358
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: I didn't have a couple of stores that I really

359
00:20:11,720 --> 00:20:13,480
Speaker 1: liked that I would go out to. I would go

360
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: to out in l A. And Um, I would be

361
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,600
Speaker 1: able to find those clothes at Buffalo Exchange and I

362
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:21,639
Speaker 1: was like super stoked about it because they're cool brands

363
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,199
Speaker 1: and so that's a really great way to help the

364
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: environment as well. And I had a friend one time

365
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 1: and be like, oh my god, I would never buy

366
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 1: anything secondhand, And I was like, what the fuck? That

367
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: is the most like what I mean, it's just so snobby,

368
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,360
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like I can't even form

369
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,200
Speaker 1: an opinion on it or form of thought. I'm just

370
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: like making noise at something. But yeah, I just remember

371
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: like looking at them and being like, okay, dude, weird

372
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: flex But okay. I've been shopping at second hand stores

373
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: my entire life, mostly because um, for the majority of

374
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: my life I had to. And now it's just I

375
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 1: find better stuff, and I say, mon, and it's sustainable.

376
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,160
Speaker 1: So Obviously this isn't the most comprehensive how to want

377
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: out to be, like completely reducing your carbon footprint. And

378
00:21:08,440 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: there's things that you can do, you know, like drive less,

379
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: walk more places, save trips, all of that, car pool

380
00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 1: if you can. I personally love car pooling because I

381
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,120
Speaker 1: get to have a buddy in the car with me,

382
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 1: So me and my friend Cora like run errands together

383
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: a lot. And that's a small gesture, but mother Nature

384
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 1: really appreciates it. So there's lots that you can do

385
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 1: on a small scale. And um, I hope none of

386
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: this comes off as preachy, because you know, no everybody

387
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 1: can live their lives how they want. But the more

388
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 1: mindful you are of the planet that we live on,

389
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: the longer longer the planet less, and you know, so

390
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 1: he doesn't come and blow it up and whatever. And

391
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:49,119
Speaker 1: the poor polar bears are so skinny right now because

392
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 1: the ice caps are melting and it's just very depressing.

393
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,280
Speaker 1: So if you do it for anybody, do it for

394
00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: the polar bears. You would not think that cow farts

395
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:01,679
Speaker 1: would be killing the polar bears, but they are. So

396
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: let's do our part in fixing that and and just

397
00:22:05,640 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: making making mother nature happy. So thank you guys for listening.
