In today’s episode, I had the chance to talk with environmental campaigner, Natalie Fee, and hear all about the inspiring work she is doing with her non-profit organisation, City to Sea.
The idea was sparked after seeing the powerfully moving story about the albatross birds on Midway Island in the Pacific, whose bodies are filled with ocean plastic.
This began a crusade against marine plastic pollution, which started with the humble plastic cotton bud stick. Thanks to her campaign she managed to pressure all UK retailers to only sell biodegradable paper stem buds from now on. A move which will stop over 478 tonnes of single-use, non-recyclable plastic being produced each year.
This is just one of the many initiatives City to Sea have successfully campaigned for in their fight against plastic pollution.
For her efforts, Natalie has been rightly recognised for her amazing work and has picked up a ton of accolades along the way, including the Sunday Times Volvo Visionaries Award for her campaign work. So it just goes to show that there are many benefits to doing good in this world.
