Hi there, I'm Tammy Logan. Do you love reducing your environmental impact? Me too! I love sharing my simple tips, honest stories, and latest discoveries, all leading to a healthy, meaningful life. If you don't want to miss any of this, follow my blog to get each new post sent straight to your inbox.

What People Are Saying

“I am inspired by your blog and Instagram, so please keep blogging forever!”   Kim

“Your blog is fabulous and I love what you’re doing, you’ve given me so many ideas and empowered me to deal with my own stuff properly (and to minimise it to begin with). You’re doing a fab job and I’m really a mad keen fan!!!”   Cathy

“I’d just like to say thank you for all that you share. You give clear, practical and achievable alternatives to the vast amounts of plastic in our lives. I love your work!”   Kellie

There’s research that shows that children who receive many material rewards from their parents will continue to reward themselves with material goods during adulthood and define themselves through their possessions. As well as not being good for the planet, it can lead to financial stress, marital problems, and unhappiness for these people. So do kids a favour; provide them with enriching experiences instead stuff and teach them how to lead a happy and fulfilled life through contribution. Kids also gain improved creativity, social, emotional, and physical skills, and understanding about the world if they have more experiences and less stuff. I find that nature ticks all these boxes.
Our capitalist economy works by making you feel self-conscious and inadequate in all sorts of ways so that you buy whatever solution is being sold. We're tricked into believing that happiness comes from stuff and that having the most stuff and the newest stuff means you're really successful. Excessive consumption drives waste and conscious consumption is essential for shifting Australia to a circular economy and one where people and planet are valued more than the profit of individuals. Liking yourself, being grateful for what you have, and using self reliance skills like cooking for yourself and fixing things are all acts of subversion in this system.

🍺Well look what I found at the new @burrabrewing microbrewery near me - returnable, refillable growlers and squealers for zero waste beer to go!! 🍻😁 Details on the blog. #beergrowler #beersquealer
To reduce 50% of food waste in Australia by 2030, each Australian only needs to reduce their food waste by an additional 30g each day (RMIT). That's a slice of bread!! Who can't manage that? Focus on the small achievable actions and we'll get there.
