Patagonia has a website for used pieces like sweaters, backpacks and pants! It’s like a thrift store for just Patagonia! I thought that was really cool because Patagonia is a high quality brand!
omg i didn't even know this existed!
So does levis
So sad to hear about all the racism involved in Reformation. Hopefully now that the CEO has stepped down there will be change but I won't purchase again until I hear employees speaking up.
Do you think Reformation is still good to buy from/ support? I am unaware of what’s happening with them.
Samantha Henry a lot of black employees have spoken out about being mistreated, and the ceo admitted to treating black employees worse than white employees. they made a post on instagram about it. the ceo stepped down and personally i’m going to wait to see if there’s lasting change in the company. it sucks because i really loved everything i got from reformation but at the end of the day we vote with our wallet 🤷🏽♀️
I feel like there’s quite a few of sustainable brands that Target carries. Would be interesting to see a whole video on Target options!
I’ve considered this! And I’ve done it a bit on Tiktok but I’m going to try to stay inside as much as I can for now 😞
@@Shelbizleee Does Target still give money to anti-abortion groups? I have tried to avoid shopping there since I read this.
Are you kidding me about Okabashi?? It seriously makes me wanna cry joy tears when I hear brands like this exist!! Seriously!!! Unreal! Why can’t everything be like that? Why can’t other companies take responsibility for their product from the beginning to the very, very end??
Love what you do!
I relate with Madison. I don't buy new underwear until they're completely worn out. Unlucky for me, they're all starting to wear out one by one, and I can't go out to buy anything new now cos of the pandemic 😂🙈
I relate with you too :D my problem is I don't know when to let go, some my underwear is in horrible condition but I'm always like "hmm, I can fix this hole and that and they will be good for one more time" :D
This is why I always buy some on sale because I have had the whole oops need new undies.
SAME! I wear them til they are just trashed hahaha that and socks! My socks are also wearing out one by one but I just found a bunch of sustainable brands I'm going to be reviewing soon!
I have a couple pair that are on their last legs. I also need new bras (old ones are too small now) and I'm trying to make them last 😅
Quest For Eco why can’t you just go to the store, mine are open
Please please pleaaasee make this a series! It helps so much and saves so much time with less trial and error experiences. Thanks
When you said "made in Portland" my European ass thought "Portland? Where's that country?" lmaoo
But is it Portland, Oregon or Portland, Maine? We’ll never know
sameeeeeee😂😂💀💀😭
Summer Nicholson I didn’t even know there was a Portland in Maine, but to be fair there’s at least 10 of each city in America
Portland Oregon. It's like Seattle in terms of being sustainability friendly and is also very liberal
yup just south of pland 😂😂😂
Shelby, I just wanted to let you know I just made my first purchase on earth hero last night. I have a problem with dish soap, I go through it like crazy. It makes me cringe every time I have to throw out another plastic bottle. I told my husband that’s it I’m going to try a dish bar. At first I was going to purchase from The package free store, but changed my mind and decided to check out earth hero because I thought there would be more options. I went with the best seller bestowed essentials. I also got the bubble up brush. I can’t believe I am so excited to try outs cleaning supplies, LOL. Three months ago I switched over to wall dryer balls and I won’t go back to dryer sheets. Six months ago I switched to shampoo/conditioner bars and I won’t switch back either. Baby steps Shelby baby steps. Thank you for all of the info you put out there, it’s really appreciated.
If you want to try a good dish-washing block, the one from No Tox Life is pretty great. They're a small, woman-owned, family-run business based out of Los Angeles.
I got that same dish soap bar from earthhero and I love it! (Got one for my mom and she loves it too). Would never go back to the liquid soap. My husband was skeptical about the bar but and he is on board now too! I also use Dropps for my laundry and dishwasher too thanks to Shelbi :)
It can be really hard to find brands that actually are sustainable and not just greenwashing, so thank you for this video! Love your channel, keep up the good work❤️
I had a great experience with earth hero. Bought a conditioner from there that was supposed to come with a packet of seeds inside the packaging and it did, but the packet was empty. Nbd I let customer service know and I didn’t get a basic corporate BS response, I got a legit response and I got it FAST. Will definitely be shopping there on the site again. Wouldn’t have found it without your videos
@Eme Kennede I'm not sure if you know this ... but vehicles carry more than one package at a time
Eme Kennede not only that ^ , but I didn’t return the conditioner lmao so that assumption can stop right there.
@Eme Kennede Earth Hero ships carbon neutral too
I wish there was someone like you for the UK.
To help me find sustainable stuff more local to me.
I feel the same! Living in Italy, I find etsy is a nice compromise, you can sustain small "local" businesses, and some of the sellers are careful to use plastic free material in the packaging, too :)
@@alicep7491 Thank you! I've hovered over Etsy but I'll look to use it more 🙂
Check out @sustainablyvegan
Blue Ollis has a great channel and so does Silke Dewoulf with zero waste and sustainability content! They are both based in the UK :)
@@eloyoneill3875 Many thanks!
I was looking for a sandal for showering because I am going to college in the fall and dorm bathrooms are gross. I have small feet and most thrift stores do not carry a shoes in my size. Okabashi is affordable(from a soon to be broke college student😂) and I love their styles. Thank you so much for sharing!
ngl I have to suggest getting a cheap $1 pair from Old Navy. I got one 15 years ago and I still use them over the flops my family have given me. Those things are a force to be reckoned.
Haha, I have the opposite problem! I have quite large feet (10-11 women) and thrift stores often don't have my size either!
I love learning about sustainable companies. I may not need a mattress or underwear yet, but I love that you give us this information. A series would be great!
I just bought something off blk+grn market. They have a coupon code "blkgrnladies" for $10 off if anyone needs it.
Was gonna go to bed (I live in Australia) but I checked CZcams first and nowwwwww I'm here. Divine timing 🤷♀️🤣
Hah same here!!!
same! but go to bed my friend, otherwise you'll be exhausted in the morning
Being in Europe we have different shops, so it is kind of hard to take things away from your videos. But nonetheless I do appreciate them very much!
I’ve also worn the same underwear since middle school. Not the SAME pair (I’m 40, good lord!) but the same brand and style.
I assumed I was the only one that picky. Solidarity, Madison!
I'd love to see more educational stuff. Explaining the pris and cons of tree planting for example or the dangers of using industrial washing powder
Levi Hildebrand has an amazing channel with more of that kind of content. His viedoes are great and really well researched. Hope that helps!
I love these types of videos!! Please don’t worry about the length, I really prefer longer videos
Yeah long-form videos and essay videos are pretty common now and most viewers LOVE deep dives!
I really should study, but your videos are always so interesting!! Thank you for all the informations!
Love these videos, rambly parts and all. I like hearing what you've researched and appreciate about each brand. It's super helpful!
Pleaseeee make more videos like this!! This was so helpful!
Yesss please make a series. Sooo excited for that beauty brand now
Please make this into a series! It’s so helpful to get recommendations of brands from you, it saves me so much research! I’m really trying to avoid fast fashion so videos like this one helps a lot!
Would definitely love this to be a series💕
Please make this a series! Loved a lot of the products and brands that you mentioned. I had not heard of several before hand but had been looking for similar ones. Now I can search a broader range of brands. Love!!
I'm just starting to look for my first mattress so this was perfect timing Shelbi! Thanks so much for this video it's super helpful!
Just wanted to say I'd LOVE this as a series!! Never apologize for making "too long of a video". I love when you go in depth with each topic/brand, because it shows how excited you are & the amount of knowledge you have behind it!!
I had planned on going to the mall this morning and saw this video so I stopped at ulta and picked up some upcircle products! Very excited for try them!!
PLEASE do a series! Love your videos!
This would be such a good series! I'm currently, very slowly, reworking my closet to a style I feel much more comfortable in and will wear forever. I love being able to write down brands I can trust that will help me in the journey!
Also, these are some great ideas to look at for holiday presents!
I really like these videos. I always come back to them when I need to shop for something new and ethical. Please keep making them.
another amazing video!! i just moved into an apartment and have been trying to reel in the consumeristic mindset i got into while decorating
I love these types of videos! Always interested in hearing about new TRULY sustainable products!! 🥰
This video is just one of the reasons why I love watching your channel! This channel, along with a select few other you-tubers (christina sedona yassss) are the only ones I trust in regards to sustainability! Ive already purchased a pela case, and I am SO happy with it!! Thank you for these videos, they are SOOO helpful for me during my transition to zero waste! You the bomb!!! Peace & Love from NYC my friend!
This video is so thorough and well made AND helpful! Thank you :)
I'm 16 year old and I just found your channel. It's changed my entire view point and now I'm on the road to a sustainable lifestyle. Thank you and I can't wait to watch more from you!
i so appreciate how straight up you are! i like how you explain exactly why you think what you think & why you’ve formed certain opinions on certain brands. you are exhibiting the same transparency that you want in a company. i always make sure i have time to sit down at my computer & look up all of the brands & companies you talk about because i know you are a reliable source for this kind of stuff so i want to check all of them out!! love your channel, keep doing what you’re doing!!❤️
Thanks for the great video! I’m so excited to try out some of these brands. You should definitely keep sharing them and make it a series!!
PLEASE make this a series!! It's awesome to hear about brands I haven't heard of before and what products you recommend!
these sustainable fashion and product videos are some of my favorite videos that you make! ❤️
Your videos never fail to refresh me when it comes to sustainability and choosing to choose sustainable options!
I love the brand "shift phone". I think it is just amazing that a brand makes sustainable technology where you can switch out parts by yourself. So you don't have to buy a new phone if something ist broken or you like just one part to be better.
Love to see more videos like this. It takes so much time to research every brand every time I need something.
you are such an inspiration shelby!!! thank you for sharing your knowledge
I'm on the market for a new mattress and I totally forgot about the few sustainable options that exist! This came at the perfect time!
Please make a series out of these videos!! I think its super helpful for when I need to replace something or purchase something to be able to come to your channel and easily find a list of sustainable companies offering what I need. Helps to narrow down and avoid green-washing ❤️❤️
Your videos are so helpful! I have been recalibrating my wardrobe and personal care items to opt for more sustainable and utilitarian products. Videos like this are such a resource!
Love your channel! I would be interested in learning more about sustainable brands. I think it would be helpful to see you make a video on how you research the next thing you need and how you come to a decision on which company to buy from. I’m still trying to learn what standards I should be looking for. Thanks!
I appreciate you putting so much work into research! It is very convenient when I’m looking for something - I just go to your blog and look for all the good companies and what I’m interested in!
This was fantastic, thank you so much! Please do turn this into a series!
Please make this a series! I love learning about new sustainable companies. Thanks for doing all the research you do and making easy to understand videos!
I LOVE your long videos
It's so cute that you get anxious about the length of the video and start talking fast. Love your channel, have watched a few videos but just about to click subscribe!
make it into a series!!! i love hearing ur recommendations
THANK YOU for this video. There is so much green washing when I’m trying to find brands. Especially when they have some small side capsule collection that is supposedly ethically made and it makes you question where the rest of it is produced. If I’m supporting a brand I want to support their ethics for all products!
Yes please make this a series! Great video!
Shelby! Thank you so much for all your hard work and knowledge! I appreciate all of your content and work. It makes it easier for people to transition! We started as a family of 5 (3years ago) and are now a family of 6 still transitioning but way closer! You make it easier to find things and make the switch! I appreciate you and all you do!
My fairy lights went out after my cat chewed on them, and I was planning on replacing them. But I watched this video yesterday and after seeing the part about having your shoes re-soled, today I decided to try to fix them before turning straight to tossing them. I watched a short tutorial and a couple minutes later, they’re good as new. Thank you for doing what you do to inspire others ❤️
I love watching your videos they’re so informative and reliable! Also your so real and raw and I absolutely love it, who cares if it rubs people the wrong way. Keep making authentic content!!
I would love this as a series. I’ve seen a couple of your videos now, finally subscribed! Thank you for all the research and time you put into all of this. Truly inspiring. Sending love from Florida 💗💗💗
You should totally do this as a series!!! Also, do you think you could talk about the brands Mrs. Meyers and Clean Reserve perfume and whether or not they are truly sustainable brands or whether they're green-washed?
Ahh you are just amazing, I love the body positive aura you give off. Its so tough to find ethical clothing. There are obvious nos (the really cheap fast fashion) but its not like a correlation of cost to ethics. I'm sure some of the most high level designers have shady practices too.
Luxury brands make their goods in sweatshops. Yeah even Burkin bags. And some of jewelry from luxury brands like Chanel or Gucci is made out of poor materials like brass. It is really not worth it
Would you consider doing a video (possibly ((hopefully)) a series when more brands develop it) about closed loop brands/companies? I have learned about so many from your channel and I’m sure there’s more out there. Thanks! :)
This video was *beyond* helpful, Shelbi! Thanks so much! ✨
a series would be AMAZING!
Would love this as a series!!
I'd love to see more videos like that! 😃
Kudos to you for all the research! The other day I spent hours searching for a phone case so I know it's a lot of work to bring all these brands to us. BTW, after I researched a lot and was between 2 brands I saw your video and decided for Pela 😉
You're helping us a lot!
Hi, Shelby. Thanks for your time and sharing your learning with us!
Okabashi has a subsidiary brand called Oka-B that has dressier, more embellished shoes, made of the same materials but in the same ways and also in GA. I’ve had a few pairs of their ballet flats and really loved them. I live in Phoenix, AZ so I can’t really wear them in the summer for work because they get way too hot and my feet get so sweaty they slip out of the shoes (TMI?). Check that side of the brand out for dressy shoes if you haven’t already!
Yes, please to this being a series! I enjoy hearing your brand recommendations.
Definitely make a series of this!!
Clicked so fast on this!! Thanks! I always know I can trust your recs ☺️
Excellent video! thank you so much for putting in the work, and finding these brands this is so useful thank you.
Only the real ones would recognize that beautiful thred up wrap top!!
MAKE THIS A SERIES!! YES QUEEN!!!
It would be great to see a video breaking down sustainable "certified products". You mentioned cradle to cradle recently. But it would be awesome to know the difference between that and fair-trade and cruelty free and fsc, etc
I love love love your videos. Thank you so much for putting all this work and effort into finding the best brands for everything!!! It’s so murky out there trying to find real sustainable companies. ❤️❤️❤️
PS I’d love to see this as a series!
Love your content!!!! The kitchenware store will definitely check out as I’m in the market for kitchenware.
I’m definitely going to check out that flaxseed gel 😍
I love your shirt and necklace Shelbi! thank you for all this info
LOVE this!! Thanks for the effort and the research!
I love this kind of post! I would definitely love to see more of this on your channel and if I might make a suggestion, I would love to see a series about “how sustainable is X brand” :)
This is so good ! Happy to see series!
Also share if you know companies with yoga mats that are eco-friendly and sustainable.
I will look into some brands for that!
I love this as a series! Especially because there are so many needs that you can't always thrift. Also I would love to know your opinion on chaco shoes. I bought some because of their repair policy and basically buying a forever shoe in my opinion but would love to look deeper.
Ooo!!! I LOVE THIS I LOVE THIS!!!! IM SO EXCITED ABOUT BLK+GRN!! This list is awesome thank you!!!
Thank you for making this video! So informative and I have been trying to find more sustainable brands to explore and your video really made my day! Keep up the great work and stay safe!
Great video! I love when you give us the heads up on good companies to try. I’ve tried a few of your recommendations and have been very pleased. Earth hero is definitely the best! Not only the company but the support staff as well.💕
Just wanted to take a second to say thank you for doing the leg work for us, and teaching us how to do it ourselves. Your research into the transparency and whether they are greenwashing is incredibly important and helpful to me. Also, it's not 100% what you're talking about since it comes in plastic, but I love the company Alaffia. Fair trade and ethical sourcing is important to me :)
This would be an amazing series to continue doing !!!🙏🙏
would love to see more videos like this! hearing about these brands made me sooo happy and i will definitely be purchasing from them in the future. as a new-ish environmentalist, this sort of thing REALLY helps me out so thank youu!!
So good. Series plz!!!
Always great info. Thank you!
Just finished lunch (Isle of Man - UK), so a nice afternoon video!
Another UK viewer! (northern ireland!) :D
Series plz! The research is so time consuming and i thank you for the information u give.
Yes to the series, this is awesome, thank you!
Would love a series! 💚
Thank you for featuring happy colors other than shades of beige/neutrals sustainable undies. Can’t wait to rebuy (not undies) and check out your recommended brands. New subscriber 🤗
Thank you so much for sharing these brands. I'm so excited to try out Okabashi. Not only are they great for all the reasons listed in the video but they are beyond affordable!
I would love to see a series!!! Thank you so much Shelby, please never stop!!!!
Your talking about the Okabashi shoes reminds me of my Glyphs! They're digitally knit to reduce wasted materials in manufacturing and they do that closed loop thing you mentioned where you can ship the shoes back for a discount on the next pair you buy. I wear them for everything: dog walks, gardening (keeps my feet dry when I get careless with the hose), and to work in the office (back when we did that...).
Great video and recommendations!
