Earth Day Count Down - Day 1

Earth Day is April 22nd!  We will be counting down with a tip a day to help you make your April a little greener.


#1 Recycle the rain!
Harvesting rainwater using a rain barrel helps supplement irrigation for a small cost. Storing rainwater also helps reduce stormwater runoff, which can lead to reduced levels of pesticides and fertilizers in our water.
