Find a Greenpeace Speaker

Esha Dev

I am interested in Greenpeace because I believe we have a duty to protect our Earth if not for our generations then for the ones that will follow. I find that often information can be daunting but I want to help inspire and activate people to do what they can, when they can. I think that actions no matter how big or small are all worth it. I am particularly interested in forests and oceans because I think they are often overlooked as something only bigger industries or companies have control over and I want to help change that narrative.

Cait Findlay

I am a writer and journalist focusing on LGBTQ+ communities. My journey into climate activism began when I accidentally went vegetarian at university. Later, I began to realise the scale of the climate emergency and the importance of preserving our beautiful planet. As someone who spends her life working with words, I joined the Speaker network to connect with other people on their climate journey, to talk problems and share solutions. I want to help people feel empowered and equipped to take action to protect our home. Location and availability: Cambridge (evenings, weekends) | Topics of interest: Any |

Abby Miller

As a current Zoology with Spanish student at the University of Manchester, it comes as no surprise that I am very passionate about the natural world. I am also keen to help preserve wildlife and encourage others to appreciate it, thus leading me to roles such as Eco Prefect at my sixth form and young Darwin Scholar, both of which have allowed me to reach other people through education and cooperation. I have worked with children of all ages, and can also adapt to a more mature audience having presented scientific talks to fellow university students and wildlife groups, delivering influential talks informing and inspiring audiences to make a change.

Monica Pallis

I have admired Greenpeace’s brave activists from afar for many years, and am very pleased that Greenpeace are now working to get more people involved in helping to look after our planet. As Greta said, no-one is too small to make a difference, and together we can make small differences much bigger. I’m a retired research scientist with a passion to make information easy to absorb, interesting, and preferably fun! Although there’s nothing funny about the climate crisis or damage to nature, we can still enjoy learning about solutions and how we can all help to bring them about.

Shirley Waterhouse

Excited by the work of Greenpeace as a teenager, inspired by the daring missions of the original Rainbow Warrior ship, I've been a supporter for many years, and now campaign with my local group. I work in the pharmaceutical sector but also have experience in education and training and am encouraged that so many young people hold the future of our planet close to their hearts - those of us a bit older need to be acting too.

Kieran Garwood

I’ve always cared deeply about the environment and last year I decided to take action by joining Greenpeace and becoming a public speaker. It would be all too easy to believe that there is nothing we can do to stop the worst of climate change, but that is simply not true. Through information and awareness we are able to take better decisions and together we can reach better solutions. There is still time, just, to reduce the worst effects of climate change. It all starts with a simple message, delivered directly from the heart. Location and availability: Roxton, Bedfordshire (daytime) | Topics of interest: Any |

Zoë Hudson

I became involved in Greenpeace after joining the “School Strike for Climate” with my three young boys. A reporter asked my son if he felt that the adults were letting him down and he replied: “yes, but not my Mum”. At that moment, I knew I had to live up to his image of me and as a former primary school teacher I believe the best way to do this is through education. I have been involved in various Greenpeace campaigns and local clean-ups and love the fact that Greenpeace offers solutions, hope and practical ways that together we can make a change.

Now, more than ever, our planet is facing some of the biggest environmental challenges from climate change and deforestation to species extinction and plastic pollution.

Poorva Kumar

I am an Environmental Law student. Many of us feel that we are living like ‘islands’, making money, gaining material pleasures, using huge amounts of plastic, and leaving a massive carbon footprint. The loss of a sense of belonging is key for me. No matter how hard governments or environmental organizations push the public to take environmentally conscious steps, it will always feel like a burden unless we understand the consequences of our actions on the environment. Making people understand this in the easiest and the most interesting way, and precisely what I do as a Greenpeace speaker.

In December 2015 I took a train to witness the Paris Climate Accord. Days later I joined my local Greenpeace group. As the years have gone by we've seen few or none of the Paris targets being met, so I have volunteered more of my time to working on this urgent issue. This includes activism with Greenpeace, activist welfare and legal training, and acting as Deputy on Climate for my local group.

As a medical student, the difference I can make to a person’s life in the future is obvious and clear. As a Greenpeace Speaker, I know the effect of what I do might not be seen for 2, 5, 10 years, or maybe more. True change takes time, and I want to give people the faith that even a small impact for good on something bigger than themselves is not insignificant. Whether you can reduce the environmental impact of your whole company, your office, your friends, or just you, it always matters.

Environmental activism has always been really important to me and I've been involved with organising environmental groups and events at my school and university. Through doing this and working for a number of climate-related charities I have gained public speaking experience and realised how important climate education and awareness is. I also feel so frustrated by the lack of action from governments and big corporations and so being a Greenpeace Speaker feels like a great way to act on this.

What inspires me so much about Greenpeace? The non-negotiable non-violence is a key core value for me. That and just getting things done, the things we all know deep down to be right. My day job is very much in-keeping with Greenpeace values, as a Global Learning Adviser with a small not-for-profit organisation which is trying to make the world a fairer, more sustainable and peaceful place through education for change.

It was the IPCC’s '12 years to save the planet' report in 2018 that woke me to the urgency of the interlinked crises we face. Since then I’ve done all I can to investigate what changes I can make, as an individual and as a business owner, and to share what I’ve learned on the radio, in print, online and in person. I’ve had the pleasure of engaging with groups of all ages and levels, from primary schools to MPs and FTSE100 companies, raising awareness of what we can do in our personal lives and beyond, to shape the future for the better.
