I remember being little and have the importance of a readiness plan stressed to me so when I was creating one with my family again, it reminded me of that time. Since I'm not home at the moment, I decided to create a readiness plan with my roommates. It was a different experience because, we're all college students and are limited on actual  supplies so it was kind of fun to see how we could work something out with what we have. 

One way that I already practice and kind of keep track of my water usage, is by timing how long my showers are. I try my best to stay under and if not limit myself to 5 minutes every time I shower. I also try to keep the water more on the cold side as opposed to hot water so that the water heater does not emit as much C02 into the atmosphere. Another way I try to keep my water usage under control is by not using a dishwasher, and when I wash dishes, I make sure to not keep the water running for long. I was taught to do this when I was very young and to this day it is a habit that has stuck with me.
