Conserve Water Today
I try to be as ‘green’ (i.e eco-friendly) as possible with our day-to-day life; we’ve got a solar water heater and sidewalk lights, we’re planning to get one of those new hybrid cars … the works … we’re serious. One aspect that I recently implemented was with regard to watering our plants. We seem to take water for granted here in America, but did you know that an American taking a five-minute shower uses more water than the typical person living in a developing country slum uses in a whole day? I don’t take water for granted, and I saw that lots of rain water that could be saved for another day was just going to waste.
So I implemented a rain harvesting system that uses several cool and cleverly disguised rain barrels to store water for use in the future. I got mine through simplyrainbarrels.com, and they offer several cool rain barrel options – from the plain, regular, plastic barrel design to real well designed ones that look like flower pots or garden fixtures.
