By producing video shows you show us how to become the owner of rubbish in everyday life and make the most of what we usually discarded. We all know that rubbish is an unused good resource. If rubbish is to be turned into resource, so as to reduce the harm to the environment, we must find ways to collect and dispose the existing rubbish easily and reduce the rubbish through technological progress. I very much support you through the design and sale of some very environmentally friendly products to allow more people involved in the reduction of domestic waste in the operation. I hope exchange some ideas about environmental protection with you. so that through the development of environmental protection with friends who share common pursuit . One of our only wishes is to make the sky bluer, the water clearer, the air fresher, the clearer the land. Chinese proverb says many people gather firewood together. Into english proverb the more the merrier. Thanks for all you have done.

Just wondering if you can clarify how buying second-hand is better for your health? If the garment is mass produced, how does buying it second-hand make it safer for you?
Thank you

I love your posts and what you stand for! What do you do with clothes that are damaged and past the point of fixing or donating? I have a collection of socks with holes that I don’t know how to get rid of without sending them to landfill.

Personally I start to buy secondhand when I was 15, it was very natural for me, just think that the price of the clothes are out of control. Unfortunately is very common the illegal work here, the first lady now in 2017 is accused to have illegal workers incluiding childrens (she has a brand called “Awada”), and the goverment is taking out labor rights. It’s a really difficult time

I just discovered you on your youtube channel today and I am so inspired by your lifestyle! But I have a few questions…
1. What should you do with clothing that is not in wearable condition? Such as clothing that have rips/holes in them, have lost their elasticity, the dye has faded, they are stained, or they are sagging. Or even such things as underwear that aren’t exactly hygienic to donate.
2. How do you know what exactly can be recycled/reused? I just learnt take-out coffee cups aren’t recyclable as they have a thin plastic film in order to hold liquid, this is something I never knew before! I also just found out from your “four years of trash” video that the tags that are stitched onto clothing with the washing and care instructions aren’t recyclable/reusable either – where do you find out all of this particular information?
3. I still live with my family, and want to work on reducing my consumption of waste and heading toward a zero-waste lifestyle, however, my mum won’t stop buying a lot of things as it would make her life harder finding the alternatives, as well as having to change the way the house is run all to fit my needs. Do you have any tips for turning waste-free in a heavy consumer household?
4. I don’t know any shopping markets/grocers that allow people to buy in bulk, everything comes in packaging! Is there any alternative that may be better for the environment, even if it isn’t 100% waste free?
5. I am still in school, and that means there are a lot of stationary items, such as glue, pens, sharpeners etc. that aren’t zero-waste, but are necessary, what are your tips on staying zero-waste in a school/work environment?

King regards,

Josie
