January/February 2025 HAWAII PARENT 113 Morning Routine: Conservation at Home Most parents teach their kids to brush their teeth twice a day—in the morning when they wake up and at night before they go to sleep. Consider taking this lesson one step further. Teach them to turn the faucet off while brushing to conserve water. The same applies for when they soap their hands after using the bathroom. If a shower is part of their morning routine, teach them to set a timer, say for 15 minutes, to conserve water. Also, have them help you refill the soap and shampoo dispensers to reduce the use of disposable plastic bottles.
