Houses of worship have long been in the business of renewal. As it turns out, they can also lead by example at renewing and saving our water resources. Across traditions and denominations, faith communities can embrace One Water thinking — the idea that all water has value and should be managed holistically, whether it falls from the sky, flows from a faucet, or enters a drain. Xeriscaping replaces thirsty turf with native plants that thrive on faith, sunshine, and minimal irrigation. Rainwater harvesting systems capture rooftop blessings and store them for landscape use or even indoor nonpotable and potable use. Even air conditioners can join the congregation! AC condensate harvesting collects the steady drip of distilled water that would otherwise disappear into the storm drain. Inside, conservation measures such as efficient fixtures and leak detection quietly trim consumption without disrupting services (of any kind). Graywater reuse systems redirect gently used water from sinks to irrigate grounds or reuse indoors for non-potable purposes. Atmospheric water generation can even pull moisture directly from the air. For ecclesiastical campuses ready to go further, on-site blackwater treatment and reuse systems close the loop, safely recycling wastewater for nonpotable uses. An opportunity for Q&A with the speaker will follow. All registrants will receive the recording of the event. Note that Eventbrite is used for ticketing only.
