Natalie Fee – Ocean Plastics Campaigner
Natalie says:
“Let’s start with why I set up City to Sea: a non-profit organisation running campaigns to stop plastic pollution at the source. Shocked by islands of plastic flowing from my hometown of Bristol into the Severn Estuary, I did a shout-out for like-minded people to help me stop this from happening. We’re a small but mighty team, backed by scientists, marine biologists and campaigners, on a mission to eliminate single-use plastics.
By engaging communities, working with retailers and lobbying manufacturers, our aim is to reverse the trend for disposable items in order to safeguard our seas for future generations. Now in our second year, thousands of people have joined us in the fight for a plastic-free world.
But we’re far from done.
With campaigns ‘Don’t Believe the Wipe’, ‘Period Power’ and ‘Refill’ in progress, we’re waging an all-out war on plastics!”

Natalie Fee | Speaker
As a result of her successful journey, in 2017 Natalie Fee was invited to present a TED talk on plastic entitled “Why Plastic Pollution is Personal”, which to date has had over 150,000 views.
Natalie can tackle the most pressing environmental issues of our time with humour and playfulness, whilst delivering a hard-hitting message.
Her new keynote for 2026, alongside her sought-after, inspirational ‘green living’ sustainability subjects, is Under the Oak: How Nature Nourishes Hearts, Minds and Organisations, which was written after Natalie spent a year visiting the same oak tree, every single day!
