The American Rainwater Catchment Systems Association, ARCSA, is a driving force in placing rain harvesting in the national spotlight by petitioning President Obama’s administration to focus on the broad economic value of supporting and encouraging growth in the rainwater harvesting industry.
According to ARCSA’s petition, rain harvesting is not just a sustainable source of water, the rainwater harvesting industry is building infrastructure “creating new jobs in design, installation, education, R&D, sales, plumbing, landscaping, roofing, monitoring and maintenance, which could propel the U.S. to international leadership, with compounding fiscal benefits.”
The petition has been submitted and is seeking 100,000 signatures in order to qualify for an official response. Please click here to read more and to sign the petition.
