I go to the Oak Grove School in Ojai, California. I stay at the one dormitory, or "house," that the school has. Before I got to Besant House, although Oak Grove is green, the students were pretty wasteful about their resources. I worked with the dormparents to create the following rules:
1.) You can only do your laundry if you have a full load, if not and you need it done, buddy up with a friend's load.
2.) Make sure all faucets are fully off.
3.) Do not take showers longer than twenty minutes.
I also set up a challenge: Who could conserve more water, the males or the females?
That week I took five minute showers every other day. To my surprise, I was fine, just as clean as other weeks. I made sure to keep the faucets fully off, and only did my laundry once. The females ended up winning.
