A great travel companion ⬇️
For 10 weeks away you need a drink bottle, not just to reduce plastic waste but to stay hydrated 💧

Couple of issues I always have. Glass is great but too heavy and plastic bottles are light but, well, plastic! 🍼

Then I got my hands on this bottle from and it has solved all my problems! It’s made of sugarcane, so no plastic and it’s incredibly light but doesn’t feel like it will shatter either💪🏾

Best of all it fits in my travel pant back pocket and backpack 🎒

My only piece of feedback is I would love to see a loop or hook built into the neck of the bottle to attach a carabiner so it can hang from a bag 💼

750mls is a great amount as well. Could probably push to 850ml but it currently fits in the hand/pocket very well.

Cannot recommend more for travel!!

Halloween scares me ⬇️
The spooky season is incredibly wasteful! Outfits going to landfill, plastic and wasted pumpkins 🎃

But it doesn’t have to be! .mcauliffe and I last night made sure we created outfits from clothes we already own 👚

Hence we have Sandy from Grease and a Zombie farmer boy 🧟‍♂️ 😂

There is always a way to minimise waste! Happy Halloween 👻

Thanks for a great party 🎊

Support preowned ⬇️
Today I picked up a preowned Nintendo Switch from 🎮

Not only are refurbished models better for the environment, they are better on your wallet 💳

This was a perfect option while travelling from Australia AND I could trade in my secondhand Switch Lite🇦🇺

Re and Lara at Eb Games, Frankton sorted us out with an amazing deal, now and I can play together 🍉

Thanks for having me 🙌🏾
The opportunity to inspire students to tackle the climate crisis is something I am truly grateful for 🙏🏾

These kids are so smart! Props to all the educators at Waverley, I was truly impressed by how much they already knew about climate change 🌏

Got to meet from who is an absolute legend and gave a fantastic presentation on plastic waste 🧴🐬

If you would like me to talk at your school or business send me a DM 📨

Films are a source of inspiration 🎥
I highly recommend all of these! I’ve seen a lot of sustainability documentaries over the years but these have had the longest lasting impact on me 😇

AI generated art 🖼
Unfortunately, no one is coming to save us from climate change.

I used Midjourney to generate these 3 images which are really powerful. I named them the following:

1. Waiting for Superman
2. Inaction
3. Hope

We have all the tools we need to solve the climate crisis, we just lack the political will to act.

What’s something we can all do today? 🤔

1. Switch your super to or

2. Switch your power provider to or 100% greenpower

3. Commit to plant-based diet when cooking at home or opt in for deliveries from

Send a message with these actions that we are fed up with no real action on climate!

Make a change, enjoy your weekend and check out Midjourney 😇

WHAT IS MIDJOURNEY?

Thanks so much to .kneeling and for showing me how to use Midjourney on 🙏🏾

It’s truly a mind-bending piece of technology where a computer generates images based on key words 👾

So grateful that 500 people find value in my sustainability content 🙏🏾

Looking forward to growing the community even further 🤗

You may have noticed my lack of 🪨ing up.
Sometimes I’m a chronic perfectionist 💎

This can make ‘rocking up’ particular difficult for me because if I don’t certify something as perfect or don’t have time to make it perfect, I just don’t do it 🤦🏾‍♂️

It is both my biggest strength and my greatest weakness and it’s become incredibly clear how problematic this is in regards to social media 📸

But sustainability isn’t about being perfect, it’s about rocking up 🗿

This is my commitment to myself and to you guys to rock up even if it’s not perfect because to help the planet, we don’t a few of us being perfect.

We need millions of people doing it imperfectly ✅

This doesn’t have to be our future🔮
The timeline only looks like this because we allow it to be so ⏳

Out of sight, out of mind right? 👀🧠

Unfortunately not, I know it can be scary to think about, and it’s so easy to think that one persons actions will have little to no impact. Trust me, I wish I could go to sleep and forget about it too 🥱

Many of you have expressed to me recently that you want to do the right thing but you don’t know here to start 🏁

I’m working on some cool projects to assist with just this so if you have any topics you would like me to cover in any form, please comment or send me a DM. Stay strong, we will fix this place 💪🏾🌏

Also, I couldn’t find who created this meme but whoever you are thank you!!

Secondhand shopping doesn’t have to end with day to day fashion 🧥

My entire bball kit, including my Apple Watch is from either Facebook marketplace or ⛹🏾‍♂️

Australians buy almost 15kg of clothes a year and almost all of it ends up in landfill 🗑

Getting my kit secondhand not only saved me over $200 🤑but is one less set of sports equipment that needs to be produced 🪡

Stay tuned for some workshops coming soon and be sure to think if you can get something secondhand instead of new 🚦

Secondhand kit:
- Nike Hyperdunks
- Jordon pants
- Nike dry fit Lebron top
- Spalding basketball
- Lebron Nike socks
- Apple Watch
