In this episode I welcomed award winning campaigner, activist, author and speaker Natalie Fee to the SpaceShed in my garden.
Nat is a true maverick making incredible impacts through her organisation City to Sea and Refill - from an idea in her head which hatched a youtube video and a crowdfunder to bring attention to plastic pollution habits in our consumerist culture, Nat has built a 30 strong campaigning organisation and a fast growing community driven movement to encourage the spread of refill culture in our society. We riff on Nat’s journey from dropping out of University, searching for spiritual meaning, achieving material and financial success and not finding happiness with that and how stumbling across Chris Jordan’s Albatross project catalysed her to act on plastic pollution.
We talk about the rise of consumerism, plastic pollution, searching for meaning, community action, individual change and action as system change, following your heart and putting yourself out into the world and much much more. This is an open, honest conversation about Nat’s journeying to find meaning and purpose in her life which led to campaigning and innovating on plastic pollution, which has become a catalyst to connect more deeply to the earth and how Nat believes individual action to be a creative, powerful and regenerative act. Which is exactly what her new book ‘How to Change the World for Free’ riffs on. We talk about toilets a fair bit too and porn and flax seed lube. Enjoy!
