			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="western" style="100%;"><span style="small;"></span><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-212" src="http://www.getgreen.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/1019915_wet_leaves_5-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /><span style="Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="small;">It's true. Having plants – which you would think would use up a lot of water – can actually help you to conserve more water. If you have a huge expanse of yard it has to be watered a lot. All of that grass needs to stay green, and if it doesn't get enough water, it'll die. If you've paid a lot of money for that green lawn you of course want to keep it lush and alive, and if you care about nature and the planet, you don’t want to see living things dying for lack of water – but yet you want to conserve water, so what do you do? You landscape naturally, using grasses and plants that are native to your location.</span></span></p>
<p class="western" style="100%;"><span style="Times New Roman,serif;"><span style="small;">By doing that, you avoid huge expanses of green lawn and instead have dirt or rocks and natural plants here and there to make a pleasing design. Keeping it trimmed and cared for helps make it look great and you won't be using much water. If you have a lot of plants you might need to irrigate them, especially when they're just getting started.</span></span></p>
<p>For the most part, though, you can just leave the natural plants to fend for themselves. They're used to growing in that climate with the water that they would normally get, so there's no need for a system to give them water every day. You'll have a beautiful, naturally-landscaped yard and the environment will thank you.</p>

One of the most common recycling methods is the use of grey water.</p>
<p><strong>What is grey water? </strong><br />
Grey water is any water that goes down the drain, except for toilet water.  Excess shower water, sink water, laundry water, and dish water can all be saved and reused.<br />
<strong><br />
How is  grey water reused?</strong><br />
Grey water is mostly reused in landscaping and for flushing toilets.</p>
<p><strong>Why is saving water important?</strong><br />
It is feared that our planet is running out of water.  As a whole humankind is becoming less and less sustainable on a daily basis.  If we plan on leaving a greener planet to our grandchildren we must take steps now to insure sustainability.</p>
<p>Many grey water systems are currently available on the market.  With no end in site to the drought here in  Australia, its important to start taking steps to conserve our most precious of natural resources: H2O.</p>
