S.A.V.E. presentation on Gray Water Systems in Montana and a Hippie Ki Yi Aye cd signing with Jason DeShaw this Friday, July 27, 2-3p.m. at The Real Food Store.

Join The Student Advocates for Valuing the Environment Foundation (S.A.V.E.) and Montana singer Jason DeShaw for an informational event on gray water systems and a cd signing of Hippie Ki-Yi-Aye: A Savemobile Tribute this Friday, 2p.m. at The Real Food Store.

Learn about gray water systems (or grey water), a method for conserving water that was just made legal this year during the 2007 legislative session. Gray water systems utilize non-septic water for reuse in lawn irrigation and flushing toilets. S.A.V.E. will explain the benefits of gray water, describe their work and goals with making gray water legal, and explain the basics of installing a system.

S.A.V.E. Legend Jason DeShaw (highest S.A.V.E. award, 2007) will also be on hand to play a few tunes and sign copies of Hippie Ki - Yi - Aye, his country music tribute to expanded recycling and S.A.V.E. Jason has been a part of S.A.V.E.'s efforts in the community for several years and is the featured artist on S.A.V.E.'s Biodiesel Montana Tour. Hippie Ki - Yi - Aye includes many of his great songs from The Country Way, I'll Come Around, to the Savemobile Tribute song and poem.

In addition to hosting this event, the Real Food Store is displaying a gray water system being raffled off by the S.A.V.E. Foundation. The BRAC-200 system, designed for homes of 5 persons or less will be on display for the rest of July. Persons can enter the raffle for free at The Real Food Store or online at Savemobile.org The system will be displayed throughout the state over the next year leading up to a drawing at Earth Day Helena 2008 on April 22nd.

S.A.V.E. is a community non-profit dedicated to expanding recycling, environmental awareness and conservation in the Queen City and throughout Montana. They worked to make gray water legal during the 2007 legislative session and are raffling off a gray water system to demonstrate the potential for water savings in Montana. Jason is in town playing for Last Chance Stampede and Fair. Learn more at Savemobile.org or by calling 406-431-0815.
