Optional May not apply Often forgotten

This may not apply to you. You have not answered "Conservation: which route for requirement 7?" yet. Answer it and this step will either settle or drop off.

In your home, school or camp, and at least two of them kept up for at least a week.

Warning. This route needs at least a week of actually practising two of your five conservation methods. If you are choosing requirement 7 in your last week, choose 7(b) or 7(c) instead, or better, decide requirement 7 at the start so the week runs while you do everything else.
