SUMMARY:Earth Day Program: DIY Rain Harvesting System
DESCRIPTION:Required Registration is at the bottom of the 
 listing\n\nCelebrate Earth Day with Us and Learn How to Build Your Own Rain 
 Harvesting System\n\nAs a way to recognize and celebrate Earth Day and 
 increase awareness around plastic waste and water conservation\, come join 
 us for a virtual program to learn how to create a rainwater harvesting 
 system for your community.\n\n High school student Madeline Abrams has 
 developed an environmentally friendly and economically accessible way to 
 capture rainwater using otherwise discarded plastic water bottles to create 
 an irrigation system for vegetable gardens\, farms and landscapes.\n\n By 
 using empty water bottles\, cutting them in half lengthwise\, and 
 connecting them with waterproof tape (or other available resources)\, 
 Madeline has created a gutter system to capture the rainfall that comes off 
 of a roof. She then uses plastic bottles to create a downspout to direct 
 the water to a holding tank similar to a rain barrel. Here is a link to the 
 website she created\, Harvest Every Drop\, to share her invention: 
 http://harvesteverydrop.com\n\n Madeline recently presented her rainwater 
 harvesting system virtually to 45 communities in New York\, California\, 
 Uganda\, Namibia\, Lesotho\, Angola and South Africa. Her invention is 
 being shared with villages and communities as a way to conserve water and 
 address the issue of upcycling plastic waste that has become a major 
 problem in many parts of the world. An article about Madeline’s system 
 was published earlier this month in an international Rotary magazine 
 covering Uganda.\n\n After the Zoom presentation\, Madeline will share the 
 instructional video she created as a reference to build her watering system 
 to help communities harvest every drop.\n\n \n\nZoom Link: \n\nTime:
