So, I still haven’t directly convinced anyone to cycle instead of driving. Still, I am hopeful that as the streets around Dublin become friendlier to cyclists, with improved infrastructure, more people will take it up. Maybe I’ll look to an old sales trick I once learned of selling the benefits instead of the features when encouraging people to try it out. As mentioned in a previous post, my classmates have inspired me as I am now a fully-fledged vegetarian. By echoing some of the other challenges to friends and family along my journey, less plastic packaging comes home in the grocery shop. Also, one friend has started trying out vegetarian meals. Throughout this experience, I’ve learned that ripple effects occur directly and indirectly, and change can happen through conversation and understanding. There are some wins to be found here!
