I am a first year student studying Climate and environmental sustainability.
My challenge
Use public transport, take shorter showers and conserve water while showering.

For my challenge, I will be using public transport to go to and from college, as well as taking shorter showers and conserving water while showering. I am using public transport not only because I want to live more sustainably, but also for my own personal growth as I will gain more independence by the end of the month. I also want to get into a better habit of having shorter showers and wasting less water, as this will bring me closer to living a more sustainable life. While having shorter showers will be easier, going on public transport will prove more difficult as I will be stepping way out of my comfort zone (as I’m not used to being on my own in a bus surrounded by strangers). The main qualities I admire in others would be kindness and honesty. Kindness because I should be kind to everyone I meet, regardless if I know them or not, and honesty because I will need it in order to talk about the things I struggled with in this challenge over the next few weeks.
