HOW ECO FRIENDLY IS JAPAN?? zero waste habits Japan gets right ♻🇯🇵

Finally made this opposite version to my last video, wasteful things I hate about Japan. Yes, Japan is plastic obsessed, but Japan is eco-friendly, too! Today, let's talk about how sustainable is Japan from green energy in Japan to electric vehicles in Japan to the world-famous bullet train. Please keep in mind I have lived in Japan for 3 years, these are just my observations, I have not lived in the US in a while so things may have changed :) Videos mentioned: Eating only local foods in Okinawa for a week:    • EATING ONLY LOCAL FOODS FOR A WEEK! Can yo...   Vegan Japanese food:    • VEGAN JAPANESE FOOD recipes plus other ran...   How to be vegan in Japan with Japanese phrases for vegans:    • HOW TO BE VEGAN IN JAPAN (helpful Japanese...   Wasteful things I hate about Japan:    • Wasteful things I HATE ABOUT JAPAN (but al...   Japanese phrases for living zero waste in Japan:    • Helpful Japanese Phrases for HOW TO LIVE Z...   Why I went zero waste after moving to Japan:    • MY ZERO WASTE JOURNEY | How to go zero was...   Tushy installation/why bidets are eco-friendly:    • FLOODING MY BATHROOM during Tushy installa...   Plant-based meats vs animal meats:    • PLANT-BASED MEATS VS ANIMAL PRODUCTS // ar...   Why eating vegan is better for the planet:    • Why eating VEGAN IS BETTER FOR THE PLANET ...   What happens to our plastic waste:    • WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR PLASTIC WASTE/Why does...   Is glass really sustainable?    • IS GLASS REALLY SUSTAINABLE? The real impa...   100 things you cannot recycle:    • 100 things that you CANNOT recycle in your...   What happens to our metal recycling:    • WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR METAL RECYCLING? Where...   What happens to our paper recycling:    • WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR PAPER RECYCLING? How i...   Surprising things you CAN recycle:    • SURPRISING THINGS YOU CAN ACTUALLY RECYCLE...   How to make money selling old technology:    • How to MAKE MONEY by SELLING OLD TECHNOLOG...   More things you can't recycle:    • 45 surprising things YOU CAN'T RECYCLE // ...   Timestamps: 00:00 - Why I'm making this video 1:08 - Zero waste bathrooms/toilets in japan 3:15 - Recycling in Japan 6:24 - Transportation in Japan (trains, buses, EVs) 9:32 - Local food in Japan/diet in Japan 13:23 - Green energy + recycled Olympic medals! 14:55 - Final thoughts 16:12 - Bloopers For more of our travels and sustainable living check out: I N S T A G R A M:   / thesimpleenvironmentalist   T I K T O K: https://www.tiktok.com/@simpleenviron...
