I’m a 1st year student, studying climate and environmental sustainability in DCU.
My challenge
To avoid using single use plastics and non recyclable products.

Hello,
For my sustainability challenge I’ve decided to reduce the amount of plastic I’m buying and encouraging others around me to do the same. Starting this has made me realise how much unnecessary plastic I buy on a day to day basis. I have begun doing the weekly shop with my mam as I’m living at home, in order to ensure we shop more sustainability. One of the first changes we’ve made was to do all our fruit and veg shopping in a local shop as we can bring our reusable net bag to put all the fruit and veg in, eliminating the single use plastic many of them come wrapped in. I look forward to continuing this challenge and making changes that I can continue doing.
