In this episode of Curious About Nature, Rachel talks with Natalie Fée, an award-winning environmental campaigner, author, and founder of the non-profit organisation City to Sea. Natalie shares her journey from growing up with a love for nature to becoming an influential voice for environmental causes. Throughout the conversation, she discusses her passion for activism, the impact of plastic pollution on local and global levels, and her work in inspiring positive change through campaigns like Refill and Plastic Free Periods. We also delve into her tips for encouraging children and young adults to get involved in environmental activism, and her upcoming projects, including a mix of music and nature-focused endeavours. Join us as we explore the intersection of nature, creativity, and environmental responsibility with Natalie Fée.
