Greywater Action - For a Sustainable Water Culture
A collaborative of educators who teach about affordable and simple water systems that dramatically reduce water use and foster sustainable cultures of water. Through hands-on workshops and presentations, we’ve led thousands of people through greywater system design and construction, and work with policymakers and water districts to develop codes and incentives for greywater, rainwater harvesting, and composting toilets. Our teaching tools include interactive models of composting toilets and greywater systems, presentations, and design and installation workshops.
iGROW SONOMA
We provide information and encouragement for people to grow their own fruit and vegetables – inspire people to create neighborhood garden groups and new community gardens, and help people find local sources of healthy food. See BLOG postings on seasonal garden topics at igrowsonoma.org/blog ., as well as the garden-related events calendar.
