An Up-swell of Rain Barrels
Renee Tomell of the GateHouse News Service published an article titled “Rain barrels enjoying up-swell in popularity” syndicated from the Geneva Republican for MPNNow.com on July 16, 2008. Tomell reports on the “big splash” rain barrels are making this summer as they enjoy a surge in popularity. In the article, Brook McDonald, the president and CEO of The Conservation Foundation, says people are beginning to embrace water as a valuable natural resource with the amount of respect it deserves. He says people with rain barrels “understand not only is it healthier for the plants, it saves them money and it’s good for the environment. It’s free, clean and life supporting.” Along with more from McDonald, the article features some “Rain Gathering 101″ advice.
