Rain and roof gardens, rainwater harvesting, and permeable pavements. Planting trees, restoring wetlands, creating stream buffers and functioning urban forests. Water efficient appliances and landscaping. Wind and solar power. Nutrient recycling in community gardens. Onsite wastewater treatment and safe reuse. ProgramsJennifer Clary
