Everyone told me that this challenge would be very hard even impossible and they were right. But one thing I did pick up on is that I have noticed that this challenge created a good habit in me. I don’t buy single-use water bottles or fizzy drinks anymore. Yes I might have a canned Diet Coke once and a while but I am reducing this. It also made me notice how bad events can be for this. The amount of plastic cups I see being used daily is very bad. I was at a dj event the other day and all I could think about is all the plastic that was in everyones hands, then being dumped away two seconds later. It is definitely frustrating to see and also having no choice but to join in if you want a drink. After this challenge my awareness towards single-use items has definitely changed. It is good and bad in a way. It is frustrating to see these systems in place but awareness is beneficial for sustainability.
