"Unless we practice conservation, those who come after us will have to pay the price of misery, degradation, and failure for the progress and prosperity of our day." - Gifford Pinchot
I am excited to see the conservation efforts here, as it seems as though most of this society is based on consumerism, with little regard for conservation and sustainability. This rain garden outside the middle school in town, is 'designed to intercept, treat, and infiltrate stormwater at the source, before it becomes runoff. The plants are native to the region and help retain contaminants that could otherwise harm nearby waterways. Rain gardens are beautiful, low-maintenance, and inexpensive gardens that you can install at home'. This is a Rutger's University project, but has inspired me to plant these plants in the bottom of our garden, and encourage my neighbours to do the same. After all, we are the custodians of this beautiful earth, which we need to preserve for our future generations.
