About us
Hello! We are three current undergraduates of the new BSc Sustainability programme at University College Dublin – a leading educational and research institute in Ireland. Our team, built on two of the BSc Sustainability streams – Economics & Business, and Social Science, Policy & Law – has developed a substantial multidisciplinary understanding of the issues holding back our society. With that insight, we knew right away that we couldn’t wait any longer to make a difference.
Meet The Team
Ellen Curran
BSc Sustainability: Business & Economics
My interest in climate change and sustainability started in 2019 when I attended the Dail as a delegate for the RTE youth assembly on climate change.
Vadim Dunne
BSc Sustainability: Business & Economics
Frustrated by the slow adaptation of sustainable practices in Ireland, I decided to enroll in BSc Sustainability. However, waiting until my 4 year course finished before making a difference was too long. And so, using my experience in digital marketing, I started Shop Sustainability in 2023.
Ella Cheney
BSc Sustainability: Social Science, Policy & Law
The promising developments of EU environmental policy led me to move from Washington, DC to Dublin in 2022 to study and immerse myself in the transition towards a more sustainable society.
Why Shop Sustainability?
We identified that shopping sustainably is not convenient, and in a world built on convenience shopping – or as we call it, fast-shopping – how can we ever adopt sustainable lifestyles and shopping habits? Plus, who doesn’t like convenience? With Shop Sustainability, you don’t have to change – and you shouldn’t have to either. Here’s how you can green shop with all the same convenience as before, but with a tonne more benefits to you, eco-businesses and startups, as well as the planet.
