Peanut ButteR WaRRs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle)

[PHvlogger]

I don't eat peanut butter. It's too pasty for me.

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@PHvlogger what a coincidence, YOU are too pasty for ME :P

[veeri92]

Okay, so reduction is good. But inevitably, at some point we're going to buy plastic. When that happens, it's still better to recycle it than to let it go to a landfill, right?

That's cool about the peanut butter place. I wish we had a place like that around here.

Crunchy all the way!

[elffia]

How did I miss this video? It's great! I love the way you used the peanut butter wars to actually discuss something of substance. I also love you.

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@elffia I love that you appreciated that:D I also love YOU.

[dsclubhouse1]

@ChateauOfADoubt I did i went to the lil bit and I tweeted exactly that.

:)

[Book5204]

I've never seen peanut butter sold like that before, neat. I'll have to keep an eye out for it. And team smooth all the way!

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@Book5204 be sure to tweet it #teamsmooth so peter will count you on our side! :D

[Myfkduplilworld]

By the I will hire you...But it will be in Albany away from Troy...Hey you have experience with chickens...hehehehehe...

[ianswertobob]

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! You're so cool for knowing your stuff and for sharing it with people. :D I'm very impressed with your reusing of jars. w00t! Also, I hope you get a teaching job soon--I think you'll make a fantastic teacher. #EmilyTheArtTeacherIsSeriousBu­siness

YAY #PEANUTBUTTERWARS! Hahaha. The tweets and videos are all cracking me up. I love the internet. #TeamSmooth

[AngelOne11]

Great video. Nice thoughts.

[ironsword7]

Team Crunchy!

[Schubes17]

[timsbro2000]

team smooth

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@timsbro2000 tweet it! there's an easy link in the description:D

[quintis151]

I'm team crunchy, but I love smooth too, I just prefer the crunchies.... *nom nom nom*

[supersharayah]

I'd sooo hire you! Can I pay you to just always be with me? :D I love how informed you make me. :) #omnomnom we are so going there when I come to Troy! #TeamSmooth #PeanutButterWars

[RJDallo]

#TeamSmooth Yup =)

[shessomickey]

#TEAMSMOOTH yessss

[hshea11]

Girl. Team Crunchy. Always.

I have never thought about it this way but now that I have heard you say it I can;t help but wonder why I have never thought about it. Why more people aren't talking about the other two Rs more. Thank you for this video Emily!

[morgantonewv]

I'm in the small percentage of folks enjoying both equally. Can't we all just get along?

I work for Habitat for Humanity and our ReStore is the place where we exist to Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. Keeping furniture, appliances and building materials out of the landfill and making them available to the public at thrift store prices is the ultimate win-win. And every dollar we make goes to putting families in new homes. Not only do we help the environment, but we help people who need to live in it.

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@morgantonewv Oh! I love the ReStore! Such a great thing. It's so great that you work for Habitat.

[CameronKabookie]

That was really interesting. I didn't know that about recycled plastic. And that store was really awesome. TEAM SMOOTH!

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@CameronKabookie tweet it with the hashtag #TeamSmooth!!! (there's a link in the dooblydoo to make this easy:D)

[CameronKabookie]

@ChateauOfADoubt Yeah, I saw it on Twitter last night. I really want them to trend!

[LilMiss19x]

THAT WAS SO COOL WITH GETTING YOUR OWN PEANUT BUTTER! ... and that looked yummy... team SMOOTH><

[gemllama]

That's a really cool idea, being able to fill up your own containers at the store. Can't say I've ever seen that before (but I wish I had).

And I just can't take sides in the peanut butter wars. I'm a [peanut butter] lover, not a fighter.

[pcgamerguy1234]

yer but the pros of recylcing out weigh the cons , it uses more energy to make new plastic then it does to recycle it

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@pcgamerguy1234 you are thinking recycle and buy new versus just buy new. I'm saying recycle or don't buy new or buy less packaging. I'm not saying don't recycle, I'm saying there are other steps that are more beneficial. Don't buy things with lots of energy consuming plastic. Companies care about consumer trends.

[MimsieSky]

What store is that?! That's really cool that you can refill the jars! Too bad there isn't really anything like that up this way. :(

[CallMeBlake1]

I love reusing jars. I am team smooth.

[valerie2776]

that's really interesting about the recycling numbers. i've always wondered what exactly they stood for. my city only accepts 1&2

team smooth ftw!

but crunchy with strawberry jelly/jam. just for that.

[crimsong19]

I mean, recycling isn't EVERYTHING. I'm with you there.

But a good thing to do over the summer is have a reusable water bottle ... or just reuse a small bottle of water (i.e. Poland Springs, etc.)

And that bread looks QUITE good!

- Jason

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@crimsong19 I used to reuse a lot of plastic bottles and then they said all of those things about toxins leeching or something, so I just use this canteen. Unfortunately, using a metal water bottle makes the world suspicious.

[ckXcore]

Smooth = LAME! And that peanut butter looked more like apple butter!

That's really cool how you can go there and use your own jar to get peanutbutter (and I'm sure other things) I don't think we have a place like that near here..

[tetsubo57]

I try to buy things in glass containers. I also buy things from thrift stores as much as possible. I donate items when I am done with them if they are useful. I do what I can to reduce my footprint. Even going to the extent of mailing Number 5 containers to a company that makes razors out of them.

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@tetsubo57 what company is that?

And I must say, all of this really warms my heart :D

[tetsubo57]

@ChateauOfADoubt I will have to ask my wife. I just mailed the box. :)

[splicegrrl]

What a cool grocery store you have. And good thoughts throughout. Unfortunately, the end of the video (all the parts with the peanut butter) has made me really nauseous. That's how gross smooth peanut butter is. #teamcrunchy

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@splicegrrl hahahha, that was a beautiful burn, Martha:)

[MichaelHowrie]

@ChateauOfADoubt I genuinly thought you were annoyed just then. It takes skill to be gullible at words on a screen...

[fizzylimon]

That's a really interesting perspective. I wish I could do something to help reduce, but since I'm kind of home-ridden for the summer (not being able to drive, and thus not really having purchasing power) the best I can do is reuse and recycle. Which I'm totally okay with for the present.

Also, team smooth HUP!

[fecklessman]

team smooth! maybe it's the lighting, but what you put on that bread didn't even look like peanut butter at all. ;-X

[Morlaboborla]

Aw man, I wish the bulk section in my grocery store was more then just candy and nuts. That's such a cool idea!

[Justtubed]

I would totally hire you. I need to be taught. hehe

I should totally recycle more. Dylan recycles cans. So he wins.

that peanut butter looks so good. I prefer crunchy, but I have smooth right now in my kitchen.

[CleverestWitch2188]

Hearing you talk about all this kind of stuff really interests me.

I'll have to come back and check out all the links you mention when I am not trying to squeeze all my youtube watching into the time before I have to go to work. haha.

Team Smooth wins. :]

[SharkeyeJones]

i will never choose sides!

[MichaelHowrie]

Smooth is always the winningest of win. Unless it's marmalade/ jam, then you ALWAYS need the bits.

Also, you could have redused by making that slice smaller ^____________^

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@MichaelHowrie are you calling me fat?! O_o

(just kidding;D)

[elaizathornberry]

On the rare occasion I snack on anchovies, I can never bring myself to eat the heads. The faces always look like they're frowning. #irrelevant

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@elaizathornberry I think the only thing with a face I can eat is a lobster. And it's kind of difficult for me.

[keeporjot]

...Do they have Crunchy at the select your own Peanut Butter Store? If not then I feel like you don't CHOOSE Smooth, but rather you are forced into it... #TeamCrunchy

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@keeporjot not only do they have chunky, but it was on sale. I paid more for the luxury of smooth.

[keeporjot]

@ChateauOfADoubt ...We have to work on your definition of "luxury." :-D (Best War Evar!)

[JoCatofCatLand]

crunchy all the way. I agree that the first 2 R's in the 3 R's are actually more important but the least done. why do you think that is?

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@JoCatofCatLand It probably has a ton to do with marketing. Reducing and reusing don't give corporations and money. Also, I can't help but think of A Brave New World. "The more stitches, the less riches"

[NotWinter]

Ok I re-watched it and i agree. I sapose it dosen't really help. Sorry.

[emmfan09]

I really enjoy watching your videos because they do encourage me to make things. I also really enjoyed seeing you go to a store and fill your own jar up with your own peanut butter. We have a store similar to that near my house, but I am uncertain if you can reuse jars. Sadly, my family purchases name-brand peanut butter, but that doesn't mean that I have to do the same when I move out. Gladly, I am #TeamSmooth.

[ChateauOfADoubt]

I sometimes buy brands too, I mean, that jar I'm reusing was a smucker's (they sell all-natural, just-peanuts butter, and it's fairly inexpensive). You should ask at that store, because the Co-op in Albany doesn't *advertise* their reusable container program (policy? whatever). You wouldn't know about it unless you saw others doing it.

[sara4886]

Team Smooth FTW! <3

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@sara4886 YES!

[NotWinter]

I recycle. Do I win?

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@NotWinter did you watch the video?!

[NotWinter]

@ChateauOfADoubt Yes I did. I just wanted to win something D;

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@NotWinter you've won my heartbreak.

[NotWinter]

@ChateauOfADoubt well i'm sorry for my stupidness. Sometimes i just feel the need to comment randomly. i'm for reycling. I thought it would be nice to let you know i'm helping the enviroment.

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@NotWinter no, it's just...if you watched my whole video and commented that then I feel like my whole point was missed :(

[NotWinter]

@ChateauOfADoubt I re-watched it D; and then I agreed at your point.. Now I feel really bad and stupid

[ChateauOfADoubt]

@NotWinter we're on the same page now? good.
