LEARN HOW TO MAKE EVERY DROP COUNT

November 14, 2012

Did you know unfiltered storm water runoff is the number one pollutant in our coastal waters? And in one inch of rainfall, that parched Los Angeles throws away 7.6 BILLION gallons of water into the storm drains? On Saturday, November 17 at 4 PM join me at the DIY stage at the Green Festival where I’ll be teaching how to harvest that precious rainwater with simple at-home projects, like installing a rain barrel, that will make your landscape more sustainable.

The Green Festival brings together more than 125 renowned authors, leaders, and educators, screens cutting-edge films, and showcases the most recent developments in renewable energy and green technology.
