First year student in DCU studying climate and environmental sustainability
My challenge
Eat more vegetarian and vegan meals.

For my sustainability challenge, I’ve decided to reduce my meat consumption to once or twice a week while also including as many vegetarian and vegan substitutes as possible.

Cutting out meat is something I’ve thought about doing and tried a couple of times over the past few years but have never fully committed to. I’m hoping this challenge will give me the push I need. I’m interested in going vegetarian/ vegan for the health benefits as well as the sustainability aspects.

Some of the challenges I expect to face are finding good options while eating out and also ensuring I make the time to cook healthy meals at home. 

By the end of the challenge, I would like to be in a position to go fully vegetarian and eventually go vegan in the future.
