Materials & Applications Water Reclamation Workshop: Greywater System

Materials & Applications has been a long-time supporter of projects which encourage and push sustainable systems, such as Here There Be Monsters and Back To Basics. We have also hosted numerous workshops which advocate energy efficiency and water saving methods for the built environment. With the summer months fast approaching, we felt it would be the perfect time to host a series of workshops focused on water saving strategies. Both of these 2 workshop will be very hands-on, showing participants first-hand how to build their own systems and start saving both money and water for your own home or business. These workshops will be lead by M&A friends and colleagues Leigh Jerrard, whose focus is greywater systems, and Daniel Beaulieu, whose expertise is rainwater catchment.

Did you know that Los Angeles gets 14 in. of rainfall on average each year, it is a Mediterranean climate! We get enough rainfall that if we stored the rain that fell on our rooftops, we would cover all of our irrigation requirements in the entire city, saving the purified tapwater that gets delivered to our homes for its intended use: drinking, cooking, and bathing. Join us Sunday, June 12th as Daniel Beaulieu shows us how to prepare a rainwater catchment system on our own home.
