AEC Chosen as Local Representative for Alabama Rain Barrel Project
A great way to save water and energy is to harness the rain for watering needs by building a rainbarrel. This simple project can be accomplished in just a few hours with minimal, simple, carpentry skills and locally found parts.
With support from the World Wildlife Fund and Coca Cola United Bottlers in Birmingham, the Alabama Environmental Council will lead local efforts by hosting monthly workshops. Churches, schools, libraries and community centers are great locations for these workshops. To schedule a workshop, please email info@aeconline.org.
