US #EPA - #SoakUpTheRain Program for #NewEngland: #RainBarrels
Last updated on January 13, 2026
"Rain barrels capture water from a roof and hold it for later use such as on lawns, gardens or indoor plants. Collecting roof runoff in rain barrels reduces the amount of water that flows from your property. It's a great way to conserve water and it's free water for use in your landscape.
Many cities and towns distribute rain barrels to residents through annual sales. Other sources include online retailers, local home and garden supply stores. Cisterns are also used to 'harvest' rain water. With a greater storage capacity they may be located above or below ground.
#RainwaterHarvesting, U.S. EPA Green Infrastructure
Note: Remember that as rain water flows over a roof surface it can pick up pollutants such as bacteria from birds and other animals, and chemicals from roof materials - factors to consider when thinking about using rain barrel water on edible plantings. Some links with information and suggestions are included below:

“Newport has been amazing at giving us a platform to actually start to provide some [#ClimateChange] solutions for people. A lot of this comes down to reducing the amount that we’re in our #cars. A big part of this tour for us was looking at #infrastructure all up and down the east coast.
“This is a beautiful sight to see 2,000 bicyclists outside one of the best musical festivals in the country. This needs to be the standard for what we see all throughout the country and all throughout the world.”—Jeff Gorman, #IlliterateLight #musician #ClimateActivist #BikeAdvocate

We dig the bicycle-powered stage at #NewportFolk Festival. Our daughter is there again this year, and wherever she goes, she has an eye out for bicycles, to share bike buzz with us. She sent us this video clip from Newport today: #IlliterateLight
Here's a story about the NFF bike stage written by Ryan Belmore: "Illiterate Light bringing their bicycle-powered stage back to Newport Folk Festival" - https://whatsupnewp.com/2023/07/illiterate-light-bringing-their-bicycle-powered-stage-back-to-newport-folk-festival/
We're waiting for #MontereyJazzFestival, #CaliRoots, or other live music events in #MontereyCounty to make use of bicycle power too!
