I’m trying vegetarian lunches for a month — not every meal, just one a day.

So far it’s easier than I expected, and actually fun to cook new things.

My goal is zero bottled water.

We have good tap water and it’s such a small change but adds up. If I manage 30 days I’ll try convince my friends to do it too.

I want to try repairing clothes instead of buying new ones.

My mum can sew so she's promised to teach me. It feels more empowering than binning things.

Our uni group set up a “climate tea break” — no pressure, just chat.

People show up who would never go to an activist meeting. Turns out loads of them care, they just didn’t know where to start.

I think asking questions works better than telling people what to think.

Like “how do you feel about extreme weather lately?” instead of “climate change is happening and you’re ignoring it.” Makes the conversation softer.

My family used to change the subject anytime climate came up.

Now I start gently — I share small stories instead of facts. Like telling them about a flood near our town or plastic on the beach. It feels more human and less like a lecture.

Not outdoors but drawing helps me loads.

If I’m overwhelmed I put on music and sketch plants or random shapes. It’s like switching my brain into quieter mode for an hour.

Cold water swimming sounds wild but I tried it once with friends.

The shock was horrible at first but afterwards I felt weirdly calm, like I’d just reset my brain. Thinking of doing it weekly now.

Forest walks. 100%.

When I’m stressed I go to the woods near my uni and just watch the trees and listen to birds. It clears the noise in my head.

For me it’s hardest when I think about kids in 20 years.

Will the world be worse for them? I try to frame climate worry as motivation instead of dread — like joining more local clean-ups and pushing college to do more sustainability work.
