3. The Danish students’ suggestions
• The majority of Danish students believes that
closing the tap and taking shorter baths would help.
• The best way to save water is recycling it.
• An other way is collecting some of the rain water
• Or the use of ecological machines.
4. The Greek students suggestions
• avoid leaving the tap open when there is no need.
• to stop washing the dishes or the vegetables under a
running tap.
• saving the water that remains in the glass when we
are no longer thirsty and drink it later.
• we all have to stop playing water games.
• We can use less water to wash our cars or our gardens
(if we have).
• To have restrictions from the countries
• To save rain water for watering the plants.
5. Conclusion
According to the research about what we can do in
order to save water we can see that students in
Denmark sometimes make similar suggestions to
Greek students' ones, but sometimes not.
Except from the common suggestions, some students
have some interesting and nice thoughts in order to
reach our goal.

answers at some questions but many differences too.
With a better observation we can remark some
differences which we believe are important.
You can see the differences at the following table.
