My environmental science prof in college would get asked all the time what the most sustainable water bottle/bag/phone/whatever was, and his answer was always the same. "The one you already have." People always forget that the first step is "reduce."

I'm so boring and isolated this channel is like a zoo for me where I learn about the crazy stuff that has been going on elsewhere.

I hate when people say, "as consumers there isn't much we can do", yes there is. <br>DON'T BUY THINGS

Tote bags and reusable grocery bags seem to just spontaneously generate in my house. I can’t imagine actually wanting to go out and buy one, let alone fight people for one.

Nothing is the ‘dumbest consumerism’, because it literally gets worse every month

Making a tote bag is probably the EASIEST project to sew. You can make one for $10 max - You can literally thrift the material so easy

The first rule of Trader Joe’s Reusable Canvas Tote Bag Fight Club is that you don’t talk about Trader Joe’s Reusable Canvas Tote Bag Fight Club.

As long as I can fight someone over it, I want one.

nlg this reminds of a We Bare Bears episode — Tote Life, where the bears progressively become obsess with tote bags to a point that they fill their entire cave (house) with it. All for the sake of Tote Life . Mind you that episode was aired on 2015. I think they may have foreshadowed people's obsession with these bags 😭

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lDIb_FHTQQ&t=45">0:45</a> those totes were not selling for $500. Article says a set was LISTED for $500. Anyone can list anything at any outrageous price they want, doesnt mean itll sell for that. I checked in eBay's product research tab for confirmed sales, sets of 4 bags were selling for $30-50 in 2024.
