Thank you for what you’re doing, Natalie. I am 19 year old girl from Armenia and I am going to “lecture” 6th graders on ecology this Friday in my former school. The message I want to get across is CARE. When they learn to care for the environment, they will start caring for other things as well. And of course this goes without saying, I am going to make it like a discussion and appeal to the kids’ values and not just fill their heads with bunch of facts. First and foremost, we need them not to know too much about the issue, but to act. Doing what’s in our power at the moment is how we can make a difference.
Natalie Fee you are a profoundly important piece of the puzzle..reduce or elim boyan slat is cleaning rivers and ocean gyres..others turn collected plastic to oil.. others produce plastic flakes for further manufacture
Plastic waste has been such a huge problem in Asia. In Indonesia, for instance, if you go to a restaurant, chances are the plastic straws will be wrapped in plastic wraps to ensure that the straws are “clean”. Both the plastic wraps and straws will end up in the rubbish bins after a single use. This practice is further encouraged by bubble tea shops where they use plastic cups, straws, wraps and also bags for takeaways. A single purchase of the drink would mean three or four (if it’s for take away) plastic materials being discarded after use.
This talk by the outstanding Natalie Fee is such a heartwarming, optimistic talk about what happens when awareness and passion connect to practical action. City to Sea, the charity that Nat set up, are doing great work stopping plastic pollution at source. Watch, learn and then make sure that you stop flushing the health of oceans down the pan.
We individually have to perform our duty to stop using plastic. I personally try to not use plastic as possible as I can. Every small step change our world
Being a country girl it was never an option to flush the contents of what you discussed in your video. So I am happy to be informed of these issues. I had no idea these items are being flushed. I grew up with the ocean all around me and the beach was my playground and I used to gather up the bits of plastics I found and this is over 20 yrs ago. I would cry thinking of how humans could be so careless. Then I grew up and the disillusionment grew and consumed me became a careless human in other areas of plastic magic act. Out of sight out of mind. NO LONGER can I turn a blind eye. It is never to late to step up and step out to become a steward of those that have no voice. I will make changes and share this video. Thank you for this information. It was well presented and a very gentle but effective way to enlighten me and give me the courage to find my inner activist.
Planet = Clean it. . . Plastics = Lean it . . . made a little vid inspred to get plastic waste fixed. . . for our kids future. Thanks for you and your work Natalie Fee x
Congradultions, to Natalie Fee for winning the" Sheila McKechnie Award for Environmental Justice 2017" and for being listed as 'One of the Most Inspiring Bristolians Alive Today'!!!!
Who would have thought that going to the toilet was going to be such a powerful place for planetary change? Thanks for making us so very powerful every day.
I have been treating wastewater for almost two years now. It's amazing what people flush down the toilet and think that it will biodegrade. Plastics and rags are horrible for the pumps that I use to help disinfect the water before it reaches the river that leads to the Chesapeake Bay. If more people were more aware of what they were flushing, I think that they would value their rivers and bays more.
I am absolutely gobsmacked that people are flushing plastic wrappers, tampon applicators, cotton buds, wet wipes, plasters etc etc !!! Geeze people!! I have NEVER done this - even if it was just to avoid blocking the drains. I am so amazed and shocked. What ignorance!!!!
Thank you darling, until now I didn't know you get a bar of shampoo in Australia. You just chnged my life. Almost the last plastic I'll ever have to buy. I love you. 😍😍 Just changed stations and bought some on line for my daughter and I. Actually I had never heard of a solid shampoo until five minutes ago.
Does people really do that? Put plastic in their loo? I'm from Norway and we have one of the best plumbing systems in the world. Plumbing systems that can cope with almost everything. (That's why Norwegians tend to clog up the plumbing when they are abroad.) Without fear of clogging the system, I still would never flush anything else than the three P's down the toilet. We also have advanced waste water treatment facilities, so all the "grey water" is filtered, UV treated and practically drinkable before it is released back in the nature. But still, I would never flush anything non organic in the loo or the sink. Shame on those who does.
Sadly there are many countries where they are not aware of the consequences of flushing down things. Many people are just lazy or don't think or care what the consequences could be. I'm happy to read that in your country there is this "common sense" to be respectful with the environment :)
Fabulously inspiring...well done Natalie for sharing your passion in and knowledge about and awakening the masses...I'd like to see some links on here for all the reusable stuff you mentioned.
Single use plastic accounts for 44% of plastic waste so one person can make a difference with just the simple change of reusable bags and water bottles.
@@theupsider Because it's horrible for the environment, from the production of it down to the disposal of it. If EVERYONE got behind the plastic-free movement (which I admit is highly unlikely), then a change can be made. But every little bit helps. Whatever you can do, it's certainly better for the environment than what you're doing now. What needs to happen, though, is for large companies to oust plastic packaging, and we can help with that by "voting with our dollar," meaning opting to buy sustainable products other than plastic. There are a lot of other resources about this across the internet, including here on TH-cam, which you should check out if you're curious about how to reduce and eventually eliminate plastic waste. I understand where you're coming from, and I understand that one person isn't able to save the world just by switching to plastic-free items, but as I said, every little bit helps. The average person produces 4.5 pounds of plastic waste EVERY DAY. If even 100 people were eliminating plastic, that would save 450 pounds from going to landfill DAILY. I know this is just a drop in the ocean of billions, even trillions of pounds of plastic in landfills, but no number is insignificant, especially if that number keeps rising. tl;dr - plastic is dangerous; check out internet resources about reducing plastic waste if you're interested; even the smallest actions help in the long run.
single use plastic: cheese, milk, meat, veggies ... so many things are wrapped in a thin foil we throw away after one use. I believe non-package stores are a good idea.
Such a motivational and inspirational speech. Wish you All the Best for all your future endeavors and projects. Really so sad sight it was seeing the birds and animals dying because of plastics thrown by The Humans..
Glad to see you so enlightened. I hope we can all reduce our footprints. I urge you to boycott plastic bags and straws and teach your loved ones the same. I am no expert but we can all do our bit. More power to you. Hope you try it.
I never thought people flush down stuff in their toilet! The first time a saw a notice inside a public bathroom saying "please do not flush tampons into toilets", I was like WTF! Who does that?! Now I know one-third of the UK population does!
At last...an inspirational lady to back what I've been saying for years. Having never lived with mains drainage I personally have only ever put in two P's down the loo, wherever I've been. Let's all get together and save the planet. We can start by picking up plastic wherever we see it and disposing of it responsibly......
Yes it is exhausting to see plastic bags everywhere. But we can change. Using reusable straws. No plastic carry bags and bottles. Reusable cutlery. Avoiding tissues and wet wipes as much as possible. Every time we need to buy containers we should buy glass or stainlesss steel. Buying rechargable batteries too. Nothing plastic. If we start one rule at a time at our homes. We will see tremendous difference. We will be able to reduce a 50 to 80kgs of plastic waste and that for me is a biggg thing.
I think we're all too slow at realizing this danger or doing anything about it, first it was the microbead, and then a water bottle, and then we hear about straws, like every few years theres one more dangerous ingredient, but the whole time it's ALL plastic and in so much stuff, lets stop going after one particular product and eliminate ALL plastic
The change should start at individual level as well as industrial level. Some of the essential items are still packed in plastic most of the time. Desperate to make a change we change every possible plastic thing we can replace with an alternative and yet still end up buying a considerable amount of essential items which are wrapped in plastic packaging. That section should be changed by the industrial sector. They should change in to compostable packaging or other alternative which will not harm the nature cuz this is an urgent matter which needs to be addressed!!!
Somewhere between 2:30 to 3:00 a big statement is made about "seeing the toilet as part of the water cycle (instead of seeing it as a bin)". I hate that "truth" where we have to believe that a toilet is a part of the water cycle. It started as an assumption.
I'm far more worried about what's out there now. We can build house bricks and roads with the stuff that piled up in mountains but the only people that seem to have thought of this so far are the toy makers. WHY? This stuff will last centuries till we can work out how to dispose of it for good.
Why don't people start seeing the plastic pollution personally: "It's a direct attack on my and my family's health" (as it poses even a cancer threat) and stop consuming anything packed in plastic?
well...so many things to be sorted....really I will be more conscious now on with our environment...we must try to clean our planet for our children before we leave... so please pass the message and no buy more plastic bags or think how can we recycle in something worthy for the planet.
I'm researching sustainability and this was a really informative, enjoyable video that I completely agree with - but, sorry, what is a "menstruator"? I'm a woman who menstruates and the term feels a bit demeaning...
How about a $1.00 or £1.00 or € 1.00 etc. Deposit on all plastic items that are non biodegradable in short time spans? Another area of concern is clothing, the microfibers from washing clothes winds up in the sewage sludge and when land spread the plastic fibers persist and reduce earth worm populations, so that has to change as well. We cannot escape plastic, it pops up everywhere! 🐥
13:20 I can't wait for them to have her on again calling to arms people to save the trees she inadvertently destroyed getting the companies to switch from plastics.
The irony is that she's wearing a Polyester Shirt, which is a type of plastic material, while speaking in front of the audience about plastic pollution. I can tell just by looking at her shirt because it's so shiny. FYI, Polyester Garments will release micro-plastic particles into the waterways each time they are being washed in the washing machines. They are even worse than plastic bottles because the particles are so small that most people don't even notice them and the sewage treatment plants won't stop them from releasing into the seas.
The idea of flushing non organic stuff down the toilet is strange to me. If i had done this at age 4 my parents would have made a point of instructing me not to do that and they were not hippies.
Its is very sad and bad for nature right now but in the future bit this is an unexploited useful resource some creatures might evolve to eat plastics and use it in there bodies Imagine a plastic whale eating micro plastics and a clam using plastic in its shells? I’m not saying to start throwing plastics into the ocean but someone could make an speculative evolution project based on this speculation Imagine a unique world of plastic creatures But right now it’s a very sad problem and you should help the world clean up
Ironic that a tool which can make so many benign parts of life so easy and convenient..can be so destructive. We can't do this on our own. There is always the contrarian, the capitalist, the partisan. We are a minority, and we need GOVERNMENT LEGISLATION.

The forest used to make our paper products are replanted asap to provide a new crop of trees for paper. Simple business plan. Deforestation is in places like the Amazon to create more pastures for cattle.
The End is coming ... Jesus is coming = Revelation 11:18 The nations were angry, and Your wrath has come, And the time of the dead, that they should be judged, And that You should reward Your servants the prophets and the saints, And those who fear Your name, small and great, And should destroy those who destroy the earth.”
Nobody asked if we wanted plastic 😡they just stop using glass! same thing make PLASTIC BIODEGRADABLE & AFFORDABLE JUST DO IT.🌏 Stop asking start manufacturing make it out of seaweed then the birds can eat it I don't know but dont ask just do💪
I can't be bothered to listen to all of this - someone who just found out about the sewage system and has done some succesful lobbying to some supermarkets. Wow - how patronising. I was a geography teacher on and off for 15 years and we had to teach the Water cycle and explain the sewage system to kids at about age 8 and again at about 11 or 12. And explain rainforest ecosystems as a demonstration of all ecosystems (mainly done in Biology tho). And explain the manufacturing process (the Story of Stuff - duh!) They kept messing about with the national curriculum and its now not necessary. Even if they bought it back, Academies can make up their own curriculum. How short sighted of the government, and what a waste of time for teachers like me that lobbied to get this sort of thing on the curriculum and developed lots of resources for it. Just so irritating. I am not especially inspired to share this video and this woman's ego over and above supporting a proper education program in our schools
How sad that you're feeling patronised by someone actively trying to make a change outside of their comfort zone. She's directing her speech towards ADULTS who either didn't learn any of this or who are oblivious to the impact, who will, in turn, (hopefully) teach their own children alongside their schools. What is bad about this? Can't you both work together to make a change and educate people on their environmental impact? Why is it bad that someone went out there and pressured companies to make a change for the better? Why does her "ego" diminish the positive impact she's making? Why do you have to put people down for trying to make a change? Don't get me wrong, it's not that I disagree with the fact that a proper education program is desperately needed, but these things coexist with each other. Not one single action will change the world for the better, but every single one that both individuals, companies and collectivities can do counts towards a positive change.
Thanks for your comments! It's an honour to be spreading the word on such an important issue. Your support is appreciated!

non organic ... that should be the watch word against flushing non biodegradables
It's sad to me how few people have seen this. 😥 I've been working to be zero waste and it's difficult but i try and influence others.

I only use reusable containers :)
Proud of bristol !
just waching my table..so much 'plastic' pain. if thats hard we are fuckd.
Educate your kids about dangers of plastics. Educate corporations about this. Refuse to buy plastics.
I agree Jeff,but we gotta keep trying cobber!
Awesome. Thank you ->PPP :)

Good video, i like to stop plastic pollution, its very harmful to wildlife
does anyone know where i can get those metal straws
Amazon or go check sustainable living youtubers. They have link in their description
13:20 I can't wait for them to have her on again calling to arms people to save the trees she inadvertently destroyed getting the companies to switch from plastics.
If only humans could learn to eat plastic we would devour it in days! ....and then continue with the fish!!

This is a really good video I can’t stop watching it lol 😂 XD
Link plastic pollution with Town planning.

Plastic bottle drinks need to be terminated! All drinks need to contained in glass, milk cartons or aluminum cans!
Its is very sad and bad for nature right now but in the future bit this is an unexploited useful resource some creatures might evolve to eat plastics and use it in there bodies
Imagine a plastic whale eating micro plastics and a clam using plastic in its shells?
I’m not saying to start throwing plastics into the ocean but someone could make an speculative evolution project based on this speculation
Imagine a unique world of plastic creatures
But right now it’s a very sad problem and you should help the world clean up
Lets burn the plastic. Nature can deal with the fumes. Actually, burning plastic might be an Energi source. I am sure fumes can be filtered.
Nothing wrong with plastic, we need to respect it and recycle it. It ain't gonna go away overnight.
Ironic that a tool which can make so many benign parts of life so easy and convenient..can be so destructive. We can't do this on our own. There is always the contrarian, the capitalist, the partisan. We are a minority, and we need GOVERNMENT LEGISLATION.
50 % of plastic in the ocean is fishing nets
Only solution is to stop making consumer plastic. Its not a needed

Paper items take more oil to make. On top of that banning plastics leads to massive deforestation. This is such a disingenuous movement.

Why is plastic so papuler
I like her message but not the excecution, she's not really that good of a comedian but good message
The root problem is still overpopulation.
Draining plastics down the toilet? Seriously? Have you guys flushed your common sense also?

Not one single action will change the world for the better, but every single one that both individuals, companies and collectivities can do counts towards a positive change.
