Start at home with the amount of water you use such as take shorter showers, lasting no more than 7-12 minutes or take only 2 minutes to brush your teeth (no leaving the water running). Then at school, when using paper of some sort, be sure to use the entire sheet especially if it's for notes or an assignment. Finally, try saving recyclable things such as paper and plastic until you reach the nearest recycling bin. Don't clutter of course but if you see some recyclable trash lying around, pick it up and try location the nearest bin

the answer that best describes the relative refractory period in the neuron is the resting membrane potential is restored, but concentrations of sodium and potassium are not restored to their original state.

the refractory period is the time during which another stimulus given to the neuron will not lead to a second potential. thus, because na+ channels are inactivated during this time, additional depolarizing stimuli do not lead to new action potentials.
