Day 30: The end of an insect era

These past few weeks really have been a blur and I must say the results of this challenge have exceeded my expectations in many ways. Be it through reading the experiences of those around me or through my own experiences in carrying out this challenge, I feel as though I have truly found an understanding for the ways in which we can affect those around us. I never imagined that I would be able to convince so many people to try or even consider eating insects as it is such a foreign concept in Ireland, and to see others showing interest in my challenge and the reasons why I would take it on shows me that what we are doing is getting people to think about sustainability in all it’s forms.

It has been a great experience carrying out this challenge and seeing what people thought of it, least of all to see it published in the newspaper; and knowing that other’s have been able to benefit from hearing about my experience with this challenge encourages me to keep going on with it even after these 30 days are over. I hope to continue spreading information about eating insects and sustainable food in general and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for new and imaginative ways of sustainable living.
