@ Diane C. They are definitely a group to watch. I’d be curious to know how much the desert cities are using solar power. That would seem to be where the “power” is in the desert.

@ David I totally agree. I hope to “see” more of these cisterns popping up here in LA.

Lisa, yes I watched the video. It is simple enough to harvest rainwater by using Cisterns. It boggles the mind that the “brain trust” decided and designed for all sewage and debris to flow through the river and the channels here into the sea.

Enjoyed learning about the Treepeople and their projects. It would helpful if more desert cities would collect rain water, use light colored paving and plant more shade trees. Diane C.’s last blog post..Cactus Monday - First Blooms

@ Mark I couldn’t agree more; one tree can start a forest.

@ Lisa’s Chaos I remember traveling through Washington and seeing tree-replanting in action. There were signs telling visitors when the trees had been planted. It was great to watch the trees get larger and the signs got older.

@ David The TreePeople are a wonderful organization, and LA definitely needs to be creative in the area of water conservation. Did you watch the video?

Lisa, once again, you continue to educate me about the many places, people, and things here that I can both visit and enjoy.

TreePeople is another perfect example of people who lead by doing.

I love that here when they lumber an area they have to replant. And our little city is so green, that’s one of the things that attracted us.

How fabulous is this? VERY! Every waterfall starts with a drop or should we say every forest starts with a tree! Very nice!
