4. Making a Change: One Small Step is what it takes. Students from Team CA-an Changemakers of Children’s Academy, Ashok Nagar, Mumbai took an initiative to conserve water.

Now imagine if every household, malls, hospitals, railway stations, airports, and other public places put this plastic plus pebbles plus water formula into action. How much water would our nation save in a day?
