Episode 16: Natalie Fee Natalie Fee is an award-winning author, environmental campaigner and founder of City to Sea - a Bristol-based non profit working to stop global plastic pollution at source.Beginning the podcast by introducing her new book ‘How to Save the World for Free’ - Natalie explains the power of individual action when it comes to healing the planet and how we can all play a part in most aspects of our lives.Describing her journey as a campaigner, Natalie tells us how seeing the trailer for the film ‘Albatross’, by the artist Chris Jordan opened her eyes to the reality of plastic pollution. The plight of the Laysan Albatross with single-use plastics lodged in their bellies, dying, moved her to the point where she could no longer sit back and do nothing.This led to the creation of a crowdfunded music video and onto campaigns in her home town of Bristol to highlight the problems of plastic in the UK’s rivers and seas.To begin with, Natalie guided City to Sea with the Switch the Stick campaign, a successful cotton bud campaign run in 2016/17 which called on all UK retailers to switch from plastic to paper stem buds, stopping over 400 tonnes a year of single-use plastic at source. City to Sea has since launched several groundbreaking campaigns achieving global recognition, including Refill - tackling single-use plastic bottles, Plastic-free periods, Don’t believe the wipe and Plastic-free travel.Natalie goes on to describe writing as her “first love” and the idea for her book; “ I wanted it to be about campaigning, to take people on the journey from plastic pollution to the other things that are going wrong in the world that we need to be aware of”.She talks about the single-use plastics directive and the importance of implementing it, how recycling is important, but reusing more so. Natalie points out that 40% of litter is plastic bottles and a deposit scheme would cut this figure substantially. It would also lead to behaviour change. She adds that we need to put value on plastic and discourage bottles being made from fossil fuel. She explains that the Terracycle scheme is good as a temporary solution, but the onus is still on the consumer and introducing extended producer responsibility through the environment bill would be a better long term solution.Natalie and Safia talk about activism. Consumers have to “keep up the pressure on supermarkets to unpackage a lot of our fruit and vegetables”. They need to lobby councillors about deposit schemes and individually reduce the amount of plastic they use.Since 1965, over 8 billion tonnes of single-use plastic produced has gone into rivers and soils. Natalie explains the solution to this is stopping it at source, especially in developing countries. “90% of the world's plastic flows out of 10 rivers around the world, mainly in Asia”. Natalie describes how working with and supporting NGOs and charities which help manage waste better is important as well as cutting our own plastic waste, 93% of which we export.Natalie explains how we get plastic out of the ocean. Using technology costs billions to clean up a fraction of plastic. She points out only 1% of ocean plastic is on the surface, 95% is on the ocean floor and 4% is on the beaches. After reducing use, the next step is to empower community beach cleans to clear up the plastics blown by wind and gathered by tide. Microplastics in the water present a huge challenge, but as Natalie discovered through researching for her book, there are now “more microplastics on our land than going into the sea.” She explains that the microplastics which seep into the water supply when we wash our clothes end up as sludge cake which is spread onto soil as a nutrient.Safia and Natalie talk about plastic in beauty products. “Pretty much every foundation, lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, it’s all got plastic in it unless it’s organic and specifically mineral based". Organic makeup comes with a higher price tag,

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.

Rachel Carson is a woman with a mission. A chance encounter with some shocking images from Chris Jordan, of albatrosses suffering the effects of plastic pollution, set her on a journey with the aim of producing as little waste as possible. This episode is a long, twisty, sometimes unexpected, sometimes serious and sometimes funny journey through Rachel's experience of reducing her household waste. Rachel's Instagram is https://www.instagram.com/onestepatatime61/ and people are welcome to contact her with questions about going zero waste. Rachel gives us some very useful tips and tricks on where to start with reducing our household waste: Start in the bathroom. Replace things with plastic-free alteratives as you run out.Cure your bath soap. Try and go for palm oil free. Toothbrush - could use a bamboo toothbrush if you don't use an electric toothbrush, otherwise keep that as they are probably better. Toothpaste tabs instead of tubes of toothpaste. Shampoo – shampoo bar or “beauty cubes”. Vinegar rinse.House cleaning: cheap white vinegar, bicarbonate of soda, tiny amounts of washing up liquid, citric acid, damp cloth, metal scrubber.

Our attitudes to food consumption and food production are at odds with the impact that they’re having on the environment. How can we make sure that we’re able to feed an ever-growing population in a world with a changing climate, shifting seasons and huge inequality? In this episode we take a look at the issues we face, both as a planet and as a society and meet the change-makers in our community of Bristol and South West UK, who are pushing the boundaries and helping to create a more positive future. This episode is hosted by former TEDxBristol speaker and environmental campaigner Natalie Fee. Natalie goes on a journey of discovery to learn about the extent of the problems we face and about what needs to be done to ensure that our future relationship with food is a sustainable one. Natalie meets Patrick Holden, founder and chief executive of the Bristol-based Sustainable Food Trust, to find out more about the impact that farming practices are having on the planet. We find out how one Bristol startup is developing the farms of the future out of an old industrial unit.

In today’s episode of Innovation: An Endless Pursuit we look at a hugely important, yet often underestimated topic, of importance of water treatment. The quality of water in the UK has been some of the best globally for a number of decades, so people just don’t think about it too much. But ensuring that we provide the best water to our customers is no small feat and it’s our innovations in water treatment that enable us to maintain this high standard. Innovation in Water Treatment isn’t just about doing what we do better though, it is constantly changing. Our team of experienced water scientists are always on the lookout for things that could impact our water quality and are constantly assessing these to determine where we need to focus our next innovations. One of the biggest emerging topics at the moment is plastic pollution. Our love of plastic and its indestructible nature has led to its discovery in some of the most unexpected places on earth: at the bottom of the ocean, within Arctic Ice, even inside animals! It’s an area of increasing importance for the water industry – particularly when considering micro-plastics that can enter water ways – and is leading some to ask questions like “should we begin to regulate for this”. In this episode Chris speaks with two separate experts to look at both the innovations that we have seen in water treatment and the potential threat that plastic poses to our water supply. The first half of today’s episode looks at innovation in water treatment with Rob Luckwell, Water Quality Scientist here at Bristol Water. In the second half, Chris talks with Natalie Fee, founder of City to Sea, and discusses the scale of the plastic problem and what we can do to reduce the impact on our water environrments. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode and look forward to hearing what you think of it. About today’s guests: Natalie Fee: Natalie is an award-winning environmentalist, author, speaker and founder of City to Sea, a UK-based organisation running campaigns to stop plastic pollution at source. In 2018 Natalie was listed as one of the UK’s ‘50 New Radicals’ by The Observer / Nesta and in the same year the University of the West of England awarded her the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science in recognition of her campaign work.
