Task
Choose ONE unnecessary water-use habit you can control, replace it with a water-saving action, and follow through on FIVE separate days.
Requirements
-
Choose ONE action: turn off the tap while brushing teeth; stop running water continuously when washing dishes; shorten an unnecessarily long shower; or avoid leaving water running while cleaning.
-
Do the action on FIVE different days during the campaign. For each day, write the date and what you did. Where practical, add a count (such as “tap turned off twice”) or a shower-duration comparison (such as “usually 8 minutes; today 6 minutes”).
-
Describe your starting habit and the change you made. Include a short reflection on which day was easiest or hardest and whether you will continue.
-
Submit ONE image with a written description (for example, a clear photo of your five-day dated tally) OR ONE video with a written description. List the FIVE dates, the action taken and any counts or time comparisons in the written description. Text-only challenge entries are not accepted.
-
Never reduce necessary drinking water, bathing or handwashing to earn points. Report leaks to an adult rather than attempting unsafe repairs.
What you need
-
A regular water-use activity
-
Notes app or sheet of paper for a five-day tally
-
Notes app or paper for a five-day tally; phone or camera for the required image or video
What we can measure
