Rain Barrels!?

Ok I know this is a little off topic but I can't get over the idea of Rain Barrels! As stated in my previous post, runoff is a major cause of unnecessary sediment/fertilizers entering the JRW (James River Watershed). Here's a guide to rain barrels which describes how to take water that would normally spill off your roof/drainpipes and put it to good use. It's a simple and easy way to help the environment and also create successful gardens, etc. This would be a good idea for the University of Richmond, as well as any homeowner who wants to conserve water and protect our waterways!
