Natalie Fee talks with candor and sensitivity about some usually taboo aspects of daily life and how they affect plastic pollution. She then shows a film clip by artist Chris Jordan that is very difficult to watch, as it shows how litter is killing seabirds.

Natalie Fee talks about impact the clip (at the end of the previous segment) had on her life and how she started out on her journey. One stop on that journey was a music video.

Natalie provides some facts and figures about how much garbage is getting flushed down the toilet in the UK, and goes on to tell us about a successful campaign she spearheaded, aimed at manufacturers of cotton swabs.

Natalie provides some tips for wasting less plastic and leaves us with a slogan to help us rethink our flushing habits. She involves the audience to bring the message home.

Natalie Fee concludes her Ted Talk with a few suggestions for what we can do to reduce how much single-use plastic we are sending into the earth's waterways.
