Purchase rain barrels (Change 105)

I think this is going to be one of my favourite changes.  I've been wanting to install rain barrels at our house since we moved here 8 years ago.  At almost $100 each, though, I had other priorities to spend my money on.  Enter the Master Gardeners of Ottawa Carleton and Rainbarrel.ca (http://rainbarrel.ca/ottawacarleton/).  They have teamed up to offer citizens of the city rain barrels at a discounted price.  For $55 each, I get a 220L recycled rain barrel (all barrels previously contained fruit, vegetables and other food grade items) and the spigot and parts to go with it.  This fundraiser benefits the Master Gardeners, while helping the average person be more environmentally-friendly.  I can't wait to see how much money I save in water costs, once my barrels are operational. 

Check the Rainbarrel.ca website for distribution locations in your area - you might get lucky like I did.
