I’m a first year student studying Climate and Environmental Sustainability in DCU
My challenge
I will eat vegan for one day a week cut back on meat and dairy and water usage

The most challenge aspect so far has definitely been taking cold showers, now the weather is getting colder I genuinely don’t think it is something I can keep up over the winter months.

Summer is usually no problem as I have cold showers during the warm weather anyway.

I think that having two minute showers is a better option with the cold weather.

Living in student accommodation with all my roommates having warm showers and realising the water is heated anyway has really set of an internal debate about wether or not my struggle has been making an impact. I can definitely feel my motivation draining right now and the only thing keeping me going is knowing that it will all be over soon.
