Recommendations for how to take action

  • How To Start

    Install a rain barrel to collect rainwater falling from your roof. It’s one of the easiest ways to collect rainwater — and it’s low-maintenance too.

  • What Comes Next

    If you’re looking to capture as much rainwater as possible, transform your boring grass lawn into a rain garden with gorgeous native plants.
