Water conservation has been a call for such a long time already. However, it seems like only a few are answering to the said call, not until the issue of Global Warming came out. The issue sounds like everybody is being warned and all are now aware and seem like cooperating to help save the environment. A Toronto based company creates the RC-1 Rain Collector, which I find a perfect tool to conserve water and energy thru the rainwater that is being collected by the RC-1 that has the ability to hold 45 gallons of rainwater. With this enough amount of water, you can now surely water your garden or wash your dog or car or clothes without the need to tap on your city’s water supply.

These things are brilliant! Normal water butts are so ugly, who wants one of those in a small city garden where you have to have it on display! These rain collectors are so nice, you’d want to make a feature of them. I had a look at the Bau Outdoors site, really cool but pretty pricey – will collect my rain water in the wheelie bin while I save-up for an RC-1!
