Conserving Water at Home: Rain Barrels and Other Tips, October 2, 2010
Carolyn Sawai and Amy Tsuneyoshi of the Honolulu Board of Water Supply taught families how to create their own rain barrel catchment system for their homes. An estimated 50% of a household's water consumption is used outdoors, so families were able to learn how to save water and save money on their water bill! Carolyn and Amy explained how a rain barrel system should be customized to each home. They brought examples of how to create a siphon system to use more than one barrel. After the workshop participants picked up their own 53 gal rain barrel!

Sounds like a fun event! Acting and taking responsibility in an environmental awareness activity is really an act that should be shared with others. I hope everyone will do the same and create a clean and green environment for the future generations. Environmental Training can help people understand and be aware of different things to save the environment and conserving water.
