Save on Your Utility Bills with a Rain Barrel
Jason Fitzgerald on August 21st, 2009As utility bills slowly increase, many families are looking for energy efficiency measures that can help them save money, reduce energy use, and fight climate change. A good start on your path to sustainability is to buy a rain barrel for collecting rainwater. Not only do they reduce your water bill and prevent sewer runoff, but many of them are highly decorative and will add a great look to your outdoor space. CarbonFree® Partner GardenSuperMart.com offers many rain barrels in different styles and sizes.
If you’re not ready for collecting rainwater, how about collecting your kitchen scraps and starting a composter? GardenSuperMart.com recently introduced their new Terra Composter which matches their rain barrels and complements any backyard decorative theme. GardenSuperMart.com owns its own manufacturing plant and ensures that recycling scraps are reused in the manufacturing process. Also, they are committed to offsetting their corporate footprint annually, sourcing as much as possible locally, and recycling.
Check out their website at GardenSuperMart.com to learn more about their environmental commitment, rain barrels, and composters.

Be sure to keep those rain gutters clean at all times especially if you are using them to channel rainwater into your rain barrels. Water going into your barrels is only as clean as it comes out of your rain gutters. Hate cleaning rain gutters?

Then get busy and start installing multiple rain barrels and "save our water!" It's Priceless!
I just installed a rain barrel that we got from http://www.aquabarrel.com – it was the only one I could find that had an inlet the same size as the outlet
