Rain Barrel

This year my 4-H club and I started decided to do something unique--we decided to learn about the importance of water conservation and ways we can actually conserve water. We came across a very helpful woman, Pat Rector who is a from the Rutgers Cooperative Extension. Pat came to one of our club meetings and spent time explaining the benefits of water conservation. She introduced us to the rain barrel. We learned all about rain barrels--how to build them, how to install them, where to buy them, how they are used, what they should and shouldn't be used for etc. We spent time learning and building our own rain barrel with Pat. This taught us the importance of preserving our resources and the easy steps people take and we CAN take to make a difference in the World.
