Oceans For Our Future - An Initiative by the Forever Lotti Foundation

The Mission

Through Oceans For Our Future, my aim is to:

• Raise awareness around ocean plastic pollution

• Reduce single-use plastics

• Encourage everyday sustainable swaps

• Challenge everyday habits

• Inspire community responsibility

• Safeguard our planet

• Protect marine life and ecosystems

• Reduce plastic entering our oceans

Reducing plastic is one of the most realistic ways individuals can make a difference. Small, conscious choices made daily can have a powerful impact over time. This campaign is about making sustainability feel accessible, not overwhelming, because real change starts with what we choose to do every day.

My Vision

For me, this campaign is deeply personal. Water has always represented life, calm, strength and renewal, and it is something I feel strongly connected to which has only deepened my connection to the ocean and the importance of protecting it. Because of this, ocean protection is not just a cause I care about - it is something I truly feel.

Plastic pollution continues to harm marine life, damage ecosystems, enter food chains and impact communities worldwide. What many people do not realise is that much of the plastic we use in our everyday lives does not simply disappear - it travels through drains, rivers and waterways, eventually reaching our oceans. What we use today often becomes ocean pollution tomorrow.

Forever Lotti

Forever Lotti was created in memory of my sister, Lotti, and is rooted in love, legacy and protecting the most vulnerable. Everything I do through this foundation is driven by a desire to create a kinder, safer world. Oceans For Our Future reflects that same purpose - protecting life, preserving our planet and thinking about the generations who will inherit the world we shape.

For our babies. For our planet. For tomorrow.

Looking ahead, I am committed to continuing this work, growing this campaign and using my platform to inspire long-term change. Protecting our oceans and the world we leave behind will always be important to me.

Together, we can turn awareness into action and create a better future - one choice at a time.

Advocacy in Action - Miss Petite Global UK

This year, Oceans For Our Future will be actively incorporated into Miss Petite Global UK, allowing contestants to engage with the campaign, raise awareness and take part in meaningful action. By embedding environmental advocacy into the pageant experience, we are encouraging young women to use their platforms with purpose and to champion positive change. This integration reflects our shared values of responsibility, leadership and protecting the planet.
