After 12 days of the challenge walking to and from college is starting to feel normal. As I said before, I’m enjoying the benefits of the walk itself and I am staying motivated as I know what I am doing is helping the environment. Due to this I’ve decided to try encourage some of my friends who take the bus to college to try and walk instead. I’ve explained to them how it helps the environment and also how they can benefit from it themselves. So far only one of my friends has decided to try and walk to school a few days a week but I’ll keep encouraging my other friends to give it a go. Although this seems small I’m hoping that by changing one of their habits they’ll be more in tune with their other everyday habits and start to make more small changes to their life in relation to sustainability. The small changes they could make could unknowingly have a greater impact on the sustainability goals of our college. I’ve still managed to avoid using any public transport at all throughout my challenge and since we’re approaching the halfway mark it’s something I’m very motivated to stick to!
