"When we read of Sustain Dane's efforts to encourage rain barrel use, we were thrilled. They provide the water that keeps our indoor and outdoor plants happier and less stressed now. The system is simple and efficient, and the barrels can even be 'enhanced' to add artistic touches to our yard." --Mary B., Madison

"I use the water for potted plants inside and out, new grass, the birdbaths, and outside cleaning activities. I've been so pleased with the result I have spread the word among my family and neighbors, and several have expressed an interest in getting one (or more!) of their own." -Peggy P. Mount Horeb
