While most seven-year-olds are busy playing with new toys, local resident Logan is busy turning trash into treasure. As a candidate for the prestigious International Miss South Africa (IMSA) “Miss Green” title, Logan has officially launched her community project: the Waste-to-Wonder Workshops.
Driven by a love for South Africa’s wildlife and oceans, Logan noticed how much plastic was ending up in bins—and landfills. Instead of staying quiet, she decided to use her “Eco-Warrior” superpowers to teach her peers about upcycling: the art of taking waste and making it better than it was before.
“Being Green isn’t just a colour – it’s a superpower!” says Logan. “I want to show everyone that we don’t need to buy new things to have fun. We just need our imaginations to save the Earth.”
The “Waste-to-Wonder” project features two signature initiatives:
T-Shirt transformations. Converting old, discarded T-shirts into durable, reusable grocery bags to protect sea turtles from plastic pollution.
The Wonder Planters. Upcycling soda bottles into self-watering herb gardens to promote green living in small spaces.
“Being Green isn’t just a colour – it’s a superpower!” says Logan. “I want to show everyone that we don’t need to buy new things to have fun. We just need our imaginations to save the Earth.”
Logan is documenting her journey in a “Project Diary,” tracking the number of plastic bottles saved and the number of friends she has inspired. Her goal is to prove that you are never too small to make a big difference in the sustainability of our country.
Through her participation in IMSA, she hopes to bring the “Miss Green” title home to Kibler Park, Johannesburg serving as a voice for the environment and a role model for the next generation of South African leaders.
