I buy store cupboard staples from the organic shop in Chelsea called Here - the apple cider vinegar and maple syrup I buy from here both don't have the plastic dripper attachment. And my local fish monger and cheese shop are on the walk there. And bulk items such as dry goods, spices, popcorn etc I buy from either The Dry Goods Store, As Nature Intended or Wholefoods Market around London. Wine and beer refills are becoming more popular in London! Hooray! I currently use either Borough Wines or Wholefoods in Fulham for the wine and hope to buy beer soon from We Brought Beer in Clapham using one of their reusable growlers.

You're a moron.

Thanks for disclaiming that this video isn't vegan-friendly. Your openness is appreciated.
-
Um hello Julie Andrews. Seriously amazing look-alike. So beautiful
-
As much as I want to avoid plastic, I found it hard to find a nice lunch box. I am now using the ones in glass but with a plastic lid. I cannot use the stainless steel ones just because they can't be microwaved
-
I had no idea that being green is a passion for you, Kate.
You rock. -
I love your videos! It's so great that you group your trips. It's nice to think about what you'll be doing for the day and plan ahead and bring it with you. -Amanda

i especially love the deep tiffin. i realy wish we have something like that here in the Philippines. Loved this video.
-
Very helpful video btw!
-
Don't you think you sound like a hypocrite saying to be kind to each others and be respected while paying to have innocent beings slaughtered..
-
Awesome!!!! I watch some other YouTubers from the U.K. Who often film the contents of their fridge/freezer and my mind is BLOWN by the amount of plastic within them! I mentioned the plastic overload on one video and the YouTuber replied that she didn't know "why the U.K. Is so terrible about plastic" she apologized, and said that in the U.K. Everything comes wrapped in plastic film! Obviously, she's not shopping where you are. Keep up the great work! Love your channel!
-
Nice music Kate !
-
I love your videos, they are so inspiring. I've been on the zero (or rather low) waste journey for a couple years now and am still struggling in many areas. Your cheerful, positive attitude always manages to keep me motivated.
I just wish people would stop turning this comment section into a battlefield for veganism. I don't like fundamentalist people full stop. A little bit of respect for everyone elses life choices would go a long way. -
Hey Kate, don't give up on meatless stuff) you may had bad exp with vegetarian diet, but it's actually very different from vegan. It's like vegetarian is different from omnivorous diet. And if you had some difficulties in the past, take a look at a channel called Nutritionfacts.org on YouTube or Forks over knives documentary. They helped me and my family a lot to switch to vegan and feel the best ever. Ah and have you seen Cowspiracy film btw?

It's nice to hear from a zero waste/Eco chic lady that isn't vegan! I was a vegetarian for 7 years and a vegan for 6 months. By the end I was bed ridden and had fainting spells. Meat can be humane!
-
Kate, I loved this :) revelling in bits of nostalgia to the time I lived in London as I absolutely love Algerian Coffee Shop in Soho. Just thinking about it brings a strong memory of delicious smell you get when you enter.
-
I've been a vegetarian/vegan for 11 years and had never had a problem.
-
You make me so happy. Your energy is infectious. 💙

Grocery stores should set up a program where they can just scan your rewards card when your meat is being weighed and the price will show up at checkout when the rewards card is swiped.
