Green products and technologies have GOT to take hold, and this site is more than doing its part. I am working with a product that I feel is very relevant in the green technology category. It is a permanent concrete sealer that is applied only once, is bio degradeable, eco-friendly and FDA approved. This sealer actually penetrates the concrete and hardens and densifies it, while restoring the ph back to the original level. Green benefits, I think, include: No toxic chemical use as in many other 'sealer' products Much longer lasting concrete, resulting in less landfill Absolutely no threat to the environment surrounding the concrete, unlike many other sealers We are proud of our product, and I would invite you to take a look at our website: <a href="http://CreteDefender.com" rel="nofollow">http://CreteDefender.com</a> and give some feedback if you were so inclined... Thank you and again- love the site you have here! This is a fabulous website, and I just stumbled on it by accident!

What you say is true. I know here in rainy Oregon, capturing rainwater to be used for landscaping is really catching on (though it doesn't help much during the summer, when it really doesn't rain all the time!). You are correct that irrigation uses more water than toilets. What is the first thing to be rationed during a drought? Washing cars and watering the lawn. Thanks for the great information!

Sure, you are saving something, but there are other products out there which recycle greywater for landscape irrigation, which provides much greater savings. Did you know that on average 30% of residential water use goes to outdoor irrigation? If you're going to do greywater recycling that's the way to go. The AQUS system may be cheaper, but it's impact is a fraction of other systems. Heck, do both! If you're gonna do greywater, research on other systems out there. Oh yeah, but don't just shop on price; there are some cheap systems out there (not SLOAN - they tend to have quality stuff) - you pay for what you get.
