Natalie Fee

Natalie Fee is on a mission to inspire audiences to understand the environmental issues we’re facing today, one member at a time, to change the world.

“In my lifetime, we’ve lost half the world’s wildlife. I’m committed to doing everything I can to make sure we protect and restore what’s left.”

Natalie started her non-profit organisation, City to Sea, in 2015, as a result of stumbling across a video of Albatross chicks dying in their nests with their bellies full of plastic. Devastated and motivated in equal measure, she left her career as a TV presenter to see if she could do something to make it stop.

City to Sea is now the UK’s fastest growing non-for-profit organisation with over 30 staff campaigning to stop plastic pollution at source. Natalie launched her organisation without a business model or strategy, yet has won multiple awards, gained international exposure and importantly prevented thousands of tonnes of plastic at source every year from reaching our oceans.

The University of the West of England awarded Natalie the Honorary Degree of Doctor of Science in 2018 in recognition of her campaign work and in 2017 she won the Sheila McKechnie Award for Environmental Justice in 2017 for her #SwitchtheStick campaign to persuade UK retailers to stop making plastic cotton buds and switch to paper stems.

In July 2019 Natalie won the Sunday Times Volvo Visionaries Award for City to Sea’s ‘Refill’ campaign – now Europe’s biggest drinking water campaign and app stopping plastic pollution from plastic bottled water by connecting people to taps and fountains on the go. The campaign has grown from a pilot in Natalie’s home city of Bristol, to over 20,000 Refill points and support from retailers, government, transport hubs and the water industry.

Natalie is now a sought-after speaker, with her TED talk on plastic receiving overwhelming positive feedback and her new book ‘How to Save the World for Free’ will be published in October 2019 which goes beyond plastic pollution, and looks at how individuals can tackle the wider environmental challenges ahead with a smile on their face.

Natalie has spoken to diverse audiences ranging from banking to retail, who simultaneously charms, enlightens, entertains and inspires each audience member how they along can change the world, and together how we can change it faster! An award-winning campaigner and sought-after speaker, Natalie would make the perfect addition to your event.
