I’m a 1st year student, studying climate and environmental sustainability in DCU.
My challenge
To avoid using single use plastics and non recyclable products.
I can’t believe we’re 18 days into this challenge now. I’m proud that I has stuck with avoiding plastic as much a possible, although it can be difficult at times.
This challenge has not only influenced myself to shop more sustainability, but also others around me. Im glad to say that my family have also been sticking to this challenge and have joined me along the way. I have also encouraged some of my close friends to do the same. It’s great to see how much effect doing something like this can have on others around you.
I hope everyone is getting on well with the challenge so far!
Hi Alisha. It's fantastic to read that you are having an influence on so many people around you. Remember you started this journey just over two weeks ago with a purpose to improve your own sustainability actions and look at the ripple effects you've created with your actions already. How have you found reducing waste itself? And how have your friends and family found it? Has the challenge made you/them aware of what systems need to change to live more sustainably without plastics in our lives? How might you influence these systems beyond this challenge? Can't wait to continue reading your posts over the next few weeks. Darren Respond
