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

These photos are from my early twenties when I volunteered to monitor wildlife in South Africa 🇿🇦. I’ve always highly valued volunteering as a way to make a difference in ourselves, our communities and the world because it can empower people with the confidence, skills and knowledge to face challenges and effect change. So to celebrate National Volunteer Week this year I’ve shared some of my volunteering experiences and thoughts on why/how it makes a difference over on the blog (link in bio). . . #makeaworldofdifference #NVW2019 #nationalvolunteerweek #volunteerabroad #volunteer #volunteerism #activism #voluntourism #connectingcommunities #riseandresist

I'm at the Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Richmond and Essendon; it's part of the AFL’s annual round recognising and celebrating indigenous players and culture. I'm so excited to be here! But besides that, did you know that the MCG one of the most sustainable stadiums in the world and when it comes to managing waste they are now diverting 83% of waste away from landfill. They've invested in an organics dehydrator that operates in the stadium's basement. It processes organic waste (left over food and grass clippings) overnight, turning it into fertiliser for the gardens in Yarra Park. Treating and using the organic waste onsite has the added benefit of reducing CO2 emissions from transportation. Bollards in Yarra Park are made from soft plastics collected at the ground, such as pie wrappers, and will continue to be installed as the wooden bollards rot and need to be replaced. Rubbish is actually separated into 22 different streams to ensure more things can be recycled. There's also a lot of thought and work going towards more waste wise procurement processes, switching from recyclable materials to compostable materials following China's restrictions on recyclable material, sharing information through the Sports Environment Alliance, and working with fans to get them to think about what they're bringing into the stadium -ideally reusable products that you would take away and keep bringing back time after time. #noplanetnoplay @mcg @sea_thechange

It's World Turtle Day guys, and seriously, who doesn't adore turtles! I've partnered with Sea Life Melbourne Aquarium and Sea Life Trust to spread the word about these limited edition Keep Cups available to purchase at Melbourne Aquarium gift shop because $5 from every sale is donated to Sea Life Trust for protecting turtles through research, campaigns and education. They're working to spread the word about minimising plastic use to protect our endangered turtles 🐢 and The Trust also rescues, rehabilitates and releases several injured and washed up turtles across QLD, NSW, and New Zealand coastlines annually. So if you haven't got a Keep Cup yet, or need a gift for someone, consider one of these as a way to make a difference for turtles and to reduce waste. Keep your cup to keep turtles 🐢 #everyturtlecounts #worldturtleday2019 #sealifemelbourneaquarium

The Victorian Government has pledged to start a trial in Victorian Schools to provide FREE period management products. Do you believe they should also include sustainable reusable products? I do. I think it’s important that young people know all their options and the pros and cons of each. I also think including more than just the disposable options in initiatives like this is important for raising awareness and normalising sustainable alternatives. @modibodi are a period pant brand who also want to prove that sustainability is seriously important when it comes to periods, so they have a survey where you can share your thoughts too. https://tinyurl.com/y66velgb #sharingbecauseicare #zerowaste #zerowasteperiods #modibodi #womenagainstwaste #periodpants #choosetoreuse #sustainableliving #ecofriendly @danielandrewsmp #waronwasteau #zerowastelife #schoolsforthefuture #womeningippsland #womenshealth #womenschoice #resourcesmartschools
