Gray Water a hit at Sustainability Fair

Four S.A.V.E. volunteers and two AERO staff carpool on 100% biodiesel.

On Saturday July 14th, The S.A.V.E. crew rose with the sun and took the vegi-mobile to the Sustainability Fair hosted by The Corporation for the Northern Rockies in Livingston. In addition to providing recycling for the event, explaining biodiesel, and conducting a biodiesel workshop, S.A.V.E. made a gray water presentation with information and a real system being raffled off. The gray water system, a Brac W-200, was donated to S.A.V.E. and is being shown around the state and will be raffled off at Earth Day Helena 2008.

Kyle Perkins explains the system

Gray water is a simple way to conserve water by filtering non-toilet water and re-using it to water the lawn or flush toilets. The process was made legal with S.A.V.E.'s legislative efforts during the 2007 session. More than 100 people signed up for a chance to win the system during the days events.

S.A.V.E. used 100% biodiesel to travel to and from the fair. The featured gray water systems was a W-200 by BRAC Systems. The raffle is free to enter and will take place on Earth Day, April 22nd, 2008.
