Meet Lottie

Lottie Dalziel is an award-winning sustainability advocate, educator, author, and founder of Banish, a platform dedicated to empowering Australians with the knowledge and tools to live more sustainably. Since launching Banish in 2018, Lottie has helped millions of Australians make more informed choices through education-first initiatives, including corporate workshops, community programs, and her pioneering Banish Recycling and Diversion (BRAD) Program, which successfully diverted over 1 million pieces of plastic waste from landfill in 2024 alone.

Recognised for her impact, Lottie was named NSW Young Australian of the Year in 2023 and has been featured in Forbes’ 30 Under 30 for her contributions to sustainability and entrepreneurship. She has also delivered a TEDx talk, The Power of Community in Fighting Climate Change, further cementing her role as a thought leader in the environmental space.

In February 2025, Lottie’s first book, 365+ Ways to Save the Planet and Your Money at the Same Time, was published by Murdoch Books. Challenging the myth that sustainability is expensive, the book offers practical, budget-friendly solutions to help Australians reduce waste, lower costs, and embrace a more eco-conscious lifestyle.

Lottie’s passion for sustainability education extends beyond Banish—she hosts the podcasts Sustainability Further and How To Save Our Planet, where she interviews industry leaders and change-makers, and regularly shares engaging, informative content across TikTok, Instagram (@banish.au), and Facebook (Sustainable Swappers community).

Through Banish’s national education programs, workshops, and digital content, Lottie continues to lead the conversation on sustainability, ensuring that Australians have the tools and confidence to take meaningful action.
