What can help you save money, water and the environment all at once? Rain barrels.<\/p>\n

Key Biscayne has seen some intense summer storms in the past couple of weeks. The palos de agua (pouring rain) have brought down thousands of gallons of water a day (according to the U.S. Geological Survey<\/a>), a unique opportunity for homeowners.<\/p>\n

Local residents can learn more about rain barrels, large containers that capture and store rainwater runoff, at The Key Biscayne Community Foundation\u2019s upcoming Lunch & Learn event.<\/p>\n

Solina Rulfs, Urban Horticulture Program Specialist with UF\/IFAS Extension will be giving a presentation on what the tools are, how they can be installed and how homeowners can use them to water their gardens and reduce their tap water usage.<\/p>\n

The Key Biscayne Community Foundation created the Citizen Science Project<\/a> to educate the public with meaningful community programming.<\/p>\n
