Does it reduce waste or prevent pollution?
A few ways to prevent polluting city water systems include ecoroofs, rain barrels, permeable pavers in the driveway, or cisterns for rainwater storage. Keeping storm runoff out of the city water system has a huge impact on the environmental quality of your region’s water systems. Using flexible hose to direct rainwater from downspouts into garden beds is a simple, low cost solution. Using compost on your lawn and in the garden instead of pesticides and chemicals not only keeps toxins out of the water systems, but improves the health of your plants.
