Rainwater is there for all of us. It is free and incredibly useful for lots of things. However, many of us never use it! Instead, we keep pumping out the water that costs us, in several ways, rather than use rainwater. I think the root of the problem is that a lot of people don’t stop to think about the ways in which they could use rainwater. So the next time it’s about to rain, place some buckets outside for the water and use it like this:
- Cleaning. - You don’t need to clean with tap water. From mopping your floors to cleaning off your counters, rainwater can do the job.
- Plants - Whether you have plants indoors or a garden or farm outdoors, rainwater will do the job at watering your greenery. Think about it: plants were designed to live off of rain water in the first place!
- Summer Fun - Why should you or the kids have to have water balloons filled with tap water? Or water guns? Use rain water for your recreational activities.
The point here is that rainwater is quite usable for many different purposes. Increasing the amount of natural water you use will help the planet, in general, so do it!
