Climate and Environmental Sustainability students in DCU have been walking the walk for the past 30 days, taking on sustainability challenges such as washing clothes by hand, eating insects, and avoiding car travel, fast fashion and single-use plastic.

In the run up to Cop26, DCU lecturer Darren Clarke challenged his first-year students to set their own personal sustainability challenge for 30 days.
