A recent interview on KPCC touched on the concept of teaching toddlers more about water conservation. The point being that when a child demands the family conserve water, they tend to follow orders.
So, with this drought firmly entrenched into our ecosystem, we probably ought to make a better effort to stop letting our taps run when we wash dishes and brush our teeth. Taking this a step further to teach kids more about water use is even a better idea. Let them do the policing and we will all be better off for it.
