Welcome! My name is Alyssa and I'm a midwestern gal based out of St. Louis who is learning and sharing about my sustainable journey through a community-focused lens by documenting it online for people to see.
My goal was to share a realistic version of how the middle of the country can push for and live a more sustainable lifestyle + foster a sense of community. Along the way, I also share bits of climate action and education so we can keep the climate crisis at the forefront of our minds to sustain a happy and healthy planet for all.
I'd love to have you join me! Follow along if you want to be eco besties.

When you live in the country and there's no public transit bc the public is 20 minutes away from you đđ
Wait yall can afford that crap
Love this â€
Listen i always loose markers or they ran out of ink, same for some specific pen that I do need for my craft, so until I find an alternative that last longer I will buy the pens and markers.
i promise you your dog wants thrifted toys so much more, my dog is so emotionally attached to her thrifted toy.
Use it Up, Wear it Out, Make Do, or Do Without. Plus my favorites - mend it! make it yourself! They're taking advantage of you when YOU know your money is better spent (or saved) elsewhere.
My mom is a shopaholic, and buys for me regularly. I live in a small apartment, and try to be environmentally conscious and as a Christian I don't believe in consumerism. But she doesn't stop. I give most of it away in care packages or regift it now. I have boxes of this stuff in my closet to re-gift. We've talked about it, but it has become her love language. Does anyone else have this issue with a family member?
For headphones - I did get new expensive headphones recently. Wired ones break after a couple of months for me and my last wireless ones were falling apart after 4 years. That said - I don't use apple headphones because they suck ass and you can get way better quality ones for way cheaper. Sennheiser holds my heart when it comes to headphones. As for luggage - I buy ones in odd colors so I can pick them out in a pile like baggage claim if I need to.
Some of the appliances and waffel makers might be a case of partners moving in together and getting rid of the one
I will ALWAYS buy my acyclic storage bins I loooove them. Iâm obsessed withy them.
Also donate books you dont want to your libraries
đ€ okay but spend on high quality skin care technology before investing in expensive serums. You will save thousands of dollars every year after the initial expense
Same with hairstyles, in high school I got some bangs thatâd look nice IF I straightened my naturally curly hair every single day, and then also curled it to make it wavy/just right, needless to say that did not happen and my hair looked weird for months. I didnât have anyone to blame but myself and some pretty girls on Pinterest for inspiring me lol, still love em though â€
Your channel is seriously helping me really think about my purchases
90% of literally all my stuff is second hand đ My clothes, my furniture, my dishware, even my daughters clothes and toys etc.
Ewwwww
Will you iron it every day is THE question! Do you want to iron the wrinkles or hand wash or take to the dry cleaner?? If no, itâs not the garment for you. Check those tags people!
the little cow slippers though đđ
Totally, I agree
Actually, the âcruelty freeâ bunny logo is bought. It doesnât mean that brand is genuinely cruelty free. Also, â#1 dermatologist recommendedâ is also a bought logo. Donât believe the hype just buy what works for you regardless of logo cuz chances are itâs just bought for and means nothing
Iâm 30 years old and still wear hello kitty sweaters đ„č never cared about trends! Just what I likeeeeâ€
I feel Iâm pretty good at not buying stuff just because itâs trending, I love when a specific style I like trends though because then I can find it everywhere, but prices are really pricing
You're a Sweetie đ„°
Quinua de PerĂș âĄ
Your dumb
Having worked for a B corp and seeing how wasteful and greedy they were, I dont trust B corp certification anymore.
I love bows but I feel stupid wearing them bc when I was 16 I would wear one to work all the time until my coworker asked me why I wore bows like damn I thought it was cute đđ now I just let my kid wear bows and she looks like a doll â€
Ok but those plastic plates are the best. We have them and we had them for almost a year and they are still really good!
who the frick gives a library book for a holiday. that just makes you look cheap lmao
Friend let people do what they do. Itâs good advice. Trust me. I might use some of it, but somebody wants to give those gift to somebody let them.
Love this every time I go clothes shopping and I always think to myself am I going to wear that and how often am I going to wear that and where am I going to wear it?đ
Also if you find something you'd like to experiment with, buy it secondhand and see if you actually wear it
I disagree Here in Germany many people just dont Care. I live in a big City with good Public Transportation I was one of the view who used them in my Office because we got paid so much we could have a car so it was expected. My coworkers talked about them traveling by plane multiple Times per year and expected that to be normal. At the Same time they we're admonishing my colleague who planned to visit greek with her old greek Parents. đ Yeah greek is getting dangerously hot because of climate Change and you Just continue to travel. I cant anymore people are assholes and the old the sick and the ones who cant flee die already all over the world for it because it gets too hot.
Have you thought about looking into vegan food for your dog? đ± The biggest contributor to climate change is animal agriculture so you can make a stand against this and consume more sustainably by consciously buying vegan food Of course it also means that it spares the lives of cows chickens etc. The British Veterinary Association supports that dogs can live a happy and healthy life on a vegan diet đ
what are the ingredients for the cocktail?
I also still have the same 2015 MacBook Air and it works great!đ
Exactly my mindset when I shop.
This was me with the 70s trouser pant jeans I kept seeing online . I thought how cute, I could rock those ! My legs are long & they look ultra leggy! Tried them on and my butt somehow didnt have a shape and or I got a front to back weggie! Ill stick to cigarette jeans in a size 28 thanks!
Youâve really got to watch the vintage glassware. Itâs very common for it to contain lead. The pretty colored stuff also often contains other heavy metals. I love shopping second hand, but I will never buy glassware used.
I have a tiny pan and it works really well, but thatâs only because I randomly have it
But my question is why are you making a video about it? Everyone knows you can use cheaper versions of stuff and I kinda seems like ur being like âoh, Iâm saving more money than you, Iâm coolerâ the reason people buy more expensive stuff is because it either works better for them or they think itâs cute and they can use it to decorate or wear. This isnât meant to be rude, I guess this is just me being annoyed by small things. Im sorry if I was rude, I just donât get why people are so annoyed by people buying expensive things instead of cheap things.
Chill itâs just fine people choose those decisions
Thank you for this.
as someone who annotates and highlights so much while reading, I could never use a library. also, buying physical books from smaller authors is so so important. but everything else, yes!!!
Ooh! Something I thought about when I saw them, those denim overalls jumpsuit things, is, those are so cheaply made. For the same amount of money, someone could buy an actual uniform denim suit (even name brand like Carhartt or something) and get 10x the amount of life and wear out of it, PLUS if it's cotton it'll last forever!! Unlike cheaply made fast fashion plastics like nylon
found a waffle in a waffle maker at the thrift store đ
This is why I thrift
i love your channel so much
Been using the "if I'm still thinking about it in a week I'll go get it" it seems to help, and if it's gone by then, then it wasn't meant to be lol. Online I try to do months.
This is why I love things like community theatre, libraries, public parks, etc. theyâre so necessary and I find when Iâm in those spaces, people seem so much more engaged and patient
