Discover our top eco-conscious speakers: Feargal Sharkey, Robert Llewellyn, and Patrick Grant. With their expertise in sustainability, renewable energy, and sustainable fashion, they offer invaluable insights into creating a more sustainable and environmentally friendly world.
Environmental issues are increasingly prominent, and we all understand their significance. Having informed and influential voices on this topic is more important than ever. From climate change to pollution, these pressing issues touch every corner of our lives, influencing everything from the food we eat to the air we breathe. The urgency to address these challenges has never been more apparent, with individuals, communities, and businesses alike searching for meaningful ways to contribute to a more sustainable future.
However, in an age where information is abundant—and often conflicting—finding guidance that is both credible and inspiring can feel overwhelming. For every well-researched solution, there are countless opinions and misdirections that make it difficult to separate fact from fiction. This has created an increasing demand for trusted voices who can cut through the noise, offer clarity, and motivate action in a way that feels both achievable and empowering.
At Prime Performers, our speakers are known for doing more than delivering polished presentations. They provoke thought, inspire change, and connect deeply with their audiences. By addressing some of the most pressing challenges of our time, they offer innovative perspectives and practical solutions.
Three such speakers, Feargal Sharkey, Robert Llewellyn and Patrick Grant, offer diverse but equally compelling insights on how we can each contribute to a more sustainable future.
Feargal Sharkey: No More Turning a Blind Eye to Our Rivers
Once the charismatic frontman of The Undertones, Feargal Sharkey has emerged as a passionate advocate for safeguarding Britain’s waterways. His outspoken stance reflects a dissatisfaction with the widespread neglect of these vital natural resources.
As stated by the Environment Agency, only 14% of England’s rivers are in good ecological health—a statistic that Sharkey condemns as a national scandal. For Sharkey, river conservation isn’t just a government responsibility; it’s a collective one.
He calls for greater transparency, accountability, and action to address pollution and mismanagement. Cleaner rivers, he argues, don’t just benefit ecosystems—they drive local economies, enhance public well-being, and preserve values we hold dear. Sharkey’s message is clear: complacency is not an option. Through his work, he empowers individuals to demand lasting, meaningful change.
Robert Llewellyn: Pioneering Technology for a Sustainable Future
Best known for his work on Fully Charged, Robert Llewellyn is a powerful advocate for renewable energy and zero-emission transport. He champions technologies like electric vehicles, solar panels, and home energy systems—not as distant innovations, but as practical solutions available today.
The dramatic drop in renewable energy costs supports Llewellyn’s optimism. Between 2010 and 2019, the global cost of solar photovoltaic technology fell by 82%, making renewable energy more accessible than ever. Llewellyn sees this as a pivotal moment to scale up adoption of these solutions.
With the IPCC emphasising the need to limit global warming to 1.5°C, Llewellyn argues that embracing these technologies is no longer optional—it’s essential. His message is one of hope and urgency. By integrating affordable and efficient renewables into daily life, we can accelerate the transition to a sustainable future.
Patrick Grant: Fashioning a More Sustainable Wardrobe
Patrick Grant tackles one of the most pressing yet often overlooked environmental challenges—the fashion industry. Responsible for approximately 10% of global carbon emissions, the industry’s impact is staggering, but Grant sees opportunity for change.
He advocates for slowing down the fast fashion cycle and embracing quality, sustainable garments. Repairing, reusing, and opting for durable fabrics can significantly reduce waste—an urgent need when 350,000 tonnes of clothing end up in UK landfills annually.
For Grant, sustainable fashion isn’t about sacrificing style but rethinking how we create and consume. By prioritising thoughtful, ethical choices, he shows it’s possible to enjoy expressive, creative clothing while minimising environmental impact.
Inspiring Change on All Levels
Together, Sharkey, Llewellyn, and Grant demonstrate that sustainability is not just the domain of specialists—it’s relevant to us all. From the water we drink to the clothes we wear, every decision has the potential to contribute to a healthier planet.
Their messages remind us that informed choices and small steps can lead to significant change. By engaging with speakers like these, we’re encouraged to take responsibility and feel inspired to act.
