RAIN GARDENS: Next, we discussed rain gardens. Putting rain gardens into place can not only assist with flooding at your own home, but they can help reduce the stormwater that flows into the sewage systems. Learn how to install your very own rain garden by visiting Rain Garden DIY.

RAIN HARVESTING: Lastly, the blog series covered the topic of rain collection. Rain collection can range from a simple rain barrel attached to your downspouts to a more complex filtration system.

Green Infrastructure put into place for Stormwater management is just the beginning of the sustainability movement happening around us. Some more examples of ways to be greener are using solar power, electric cars, and even just making the conscious effort to recycle. For more information on recycling, take a look at our blog from earlier this year about going green: Go Green or Go Home.
