Did you know that rain water can be collected and used to water your plants or wash things outside? When rain water is used for such chores, it keeps it from running into the sewer and carrying pollutants into the local waterway. It is a first defense against water pollution. Mrs. Barber and Mrs. Marx took a class this weekend through Lynnhaven River NOW to build 2 rain barrels for Creeds ES. We'll be using the barrels to collect rain water to water the Frog Bog plants and the garden next year. This will save the schools' well water, too, for other uses. If you pay for city water it will save you money to pay for the water and to pay for the sewage of that water. It sounds like a win-win to me. Can you think of any other uses for rain water at school?
