Great movement on the greywater and rainwater harvesting front here in San Diego!

Have you checked out the Great Greywater Challenge?!

Add your greywater system to the map!  See where other greywater systems in San Diego are springing up.  Use this as a tool to educate your friends and neighbors.

If you want to learn more about how to install your own system, check out the upcoming Greywater Installation workshops coming up:

Gravity Fed Greywater, Saturday February 16, Lemon Grove

Laundry to Landscape Greywater, Sunday February 24th in Carmel Valley

Laundry to Landscape Greywater, Sunday March 24th in Encinitas

Plus check out this great Rainwater Harvesting Earthworks class in Valley Center where you can learn strategies for erosion control and dealing with poor drainage:

Join us at this year's first annual Kale Festival, February 23  at the San Diego Peace Garden.  There will be speakers, workshops, and great opportunities to try good food and be inspired by a community garden/educational space!  http://sdpeacegarden.org/

March 9th is the annual Southern California Permaculture Convergence in which you can learn from local sustainability experts and meet other like-minded people.

If you are interested in Permaculture, there is an upcoming design certificate course with the San Diego Sustainable Living Institute.  If you are interested in gardening, earth building, passive solar design, or designing holistic communities, this is a wonderful opportunity for you!

I'd love to remind you that Olive Branch Green Building Supply in North Park is supplying greywater kits, books, and soon soaps!  http://www.olivebranchgbs.com/

We have another store in Encinitas opening to offer a wide range of classes and goods for sustainable building, as well as locally made goods.  Check out: http://www.organichammer.com/workshops for more information and to get involved.

Keep an eye out for our April 20th Water Harvesting Bike Ride in South Park.  We are excited to pair this with Earth Day!
