I am a first year Climate and Environmental Sustainability student in DCU
My challenge
To monitor and then reduce, reuse & recycle as much of my waste as possible

Has this experiment been how you expected? 

I didn’t have too many expectations for this challenge, I’m an open-minded person and like trying new things so I throw myself into things without much thought. When I picked reducing waste as my challenge I certainly didn’t think it was going to be as hard as it has turned out. There really is plastic on everything and there usually the cheaper option too.

When do you like to follow along with what the group is doing?

I find the weekend was much harder to keep to the challenge as I was “out and about” more and therefore wasn’t properly prepared, what I found the hardest so far was on Sunday when I was slightly hungover 😅 and made a trip to my local convenience store, This was my first real collapse of the challenge so far as I think everything i bought in the store had plastic on it because I was in a negative frame of mind ie tired and hungover and couldn’t have cared less about waste at that time🙈 so I went along with the crowd (my friends). I suppose you could say it was a learning point, that I probably need to be more prepared in future and not just take the easy option.
