During a week of mass protests taking place in our capital, writer Natasha Batorijs shares ‘Planet Plastic’ as her own protest against the climate crisis and our disregard for Planet Earth.
We are making demands to our government to acknowledge issues and take action, but there are small changes to be made in our day-to-day lives that can have a massive impact on our environment. Natasha urges these changes to be made – but not before passionately painting a picture about the sheer magnitude of the crisis.
The spoken word is powered by anger for the lack of action being taken, fear of an imminent future where there will be more plastic in the oceans than fish, and the urgency of the looming deadline set by scientists where we will no longer be able to turn back.

Natasha Batorijs
Natasha writes with a political and societal influence, often calling out injustice or framing activism through the power of poetry. The poems themselves are theatrical and come alive when performed, rather than written on paper. Natasha also writes reviews for music - the good, the bad, and the funky; Natasha hopes she gets to do more of these in the future.
