Rainwater Harvesting Recap

OVN covered the Rainwater Harvesting presentation featuring author Brad Lancaster and Jim MacDonald, director of building and safety for Ventura County. The event was sponsored by the Ojai Valley Green Coalition. Looks like attendance was great, as was the information. Yet another positive step towards making Ojai a model sustainable valley.

Lancaster, who has presented nationwide, impressed audience member, Ojai Planning Commissioner John Mirk. “It’s exciting to see things that are actually being done and we actually get twice as much rain here,” said Mirk after the presentation. “I loved the street treatments, the whole idea of a meandering street. I think there are definitely a lot of these things that we can do here.”

It is a joy to live long enough to see all the hippie counterculture fringe ideas from the 60's and 70's gradually moving into the mainstream. Back then we called it, "Living lightly on the Earth."

The institutional obstacles and regulatory constraints to water recycing/reclamation are being washed away as the reality of long-term water shortages is settling in.

Traditional minds are being forced to adapt to change. As Obama says,
"Change comes from the bottom up!"
