A key area of focus for any homeowner or business looking to make an immediate impact on the local environment is that of water usage.  There are many new technologies available today to empower even the casual advocate of "green" changes...so as an addition to our national green resources directory, we are:

Looking for resources in the following water-conservation technologies:

Grey-water reuse - filtering, recirculating systems, dual plumbing

Rainwater Harvesting - landscaping, garden, in-house applications

Hot Water Heating - point of use, instant-on heat, tankless systems

Water conserving fixtures - low-flush toilets, low-flow showers, minimizing wastewater

Sustainable Landscaping - low water usage, indigenous plantings, micro irrigation, irrigation controllers

If you have experience with a resource in any of the above disciplines and would like to recommend them, please use the comment section below to do so.

You may also provide a link to your blog regarding any of these disciplines.
