Ever since I can remember, I’ve been interested in conservation.  Not just conserving energy, but conserving wildlife, and conserving the environment.  I can remember going on field trips while in elementary school to places that taught the importance of conservation, and I was very impressed by it all.  That’s one reason why I’ve become interested in rain harvesting as a way to conserve water.

I think that if enough people used a rain water barrel to collect rain and use it to water their gardens, that we would not have as many drought-related water restriction days during the summer.  I’ve seen quite a few really nice rain barrels on the market lately; some just look like fancy planters and actually make the outside of the house look nice!  So you can conserve water and look good doing it too!
