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

I’ve spent the first few days of the challenge monitoring how much waste I create in my day to day life, it really made me notice how much unnecessary waste I create on a regular basis. The next step for me now is to start reducing that waste and to get into the habit of consciously thinking about the waste that’s created from every item I purchase. I’ll be doing my weekly shop in a few days so that will be an interesting and learning experience, I’ll report back then.
