Every year, 3.4 billion litres of rain falls on Metro Vancouver. Sewers drain 75% of this back into the ocean. What else could we do with this clean water? Would you flush your toilet with it? What about water your lawn?
Our rainwater is a free resource that we’re currently ignoring. By draining this water back into the ocean, we are drying up our creeks and streams, destroying salmon and other wildlife habitat, and parching the ground for future generations.










this makes me thirsty. is this rainwater drinkable?
