It sounds like they shunt all the gray water to one line that can be
switched to the garden, or the sewer.

Was that the question?


yes, water being scarce out there i can't
imagine it being feasible to keep a large
rooftop garden off the regular water supply.

They said that they wanted a bigger cistern, but they didn't have the
room for it. If it would allow a 25% savings, that would be great. It
doesn't have to save everything to be good. Many small solutions would
be as good, or better than 1 big solution.

Both the House and Senate budget plan would cut Social Security and Medicare, while cutting taxes on the wealthy.

Kucinich noted that none of the government programs targeted for
elimination or severe cutback in House Republican spending plans
"appeared on the GAO's list of government programs at high risk of
waste, fraud and abuse."

[W]e have the situation with the deficit and the debt and spending and jobs. And itıs not that difficult to get out of it. The first thing you do is you get rid of corporate welfare. Thatıs hundreds of billions of dollars a year. The second is you tax corporations so that they donıt get away with no taxation.
