Read the Passage

Read the story. Then answer the questions using details from the passage. On a warm Saturday in April, Aaliyah noticed that the lights in the community center stayed on even when the rooms were empty. In the kitchen, a faucet dripped, and a small heater hummed beside an open window. Aaliyah wondered if the neighbors could find simple ways to waste less energy and water. Aaliyah invited a few friends to start a group. They made a checklist for the community center: switch off lights when leaving, close windows while the heater is running, and tell an adult about dripping faucets. The team also made a display with drawings showing how to use daylight instead of lamps and how to unplug devices after charging. At the next neighborhood gathering, the children explained their checklist. Alex, who managed the center, thanked them and put the list near the front door. Families tried the suggestions during the following weeks. The center used less electricity, and the dripping faucet was repaired. The team could not measure exactly how much everyone saved, but people said the reminders helped them notice waste. Aaliyah was pleased that a few clear reminders had made a difference. The group decided to keep sharing practical ideas. They learned that noticing a problem and working together can help a whole community build better habits.
