*Background*
Graywater is water derived from household use\, excluding water with human body wastes (known as blackwater). \; Approximately 65% of water used for interior uses can be recycled as graywater. \; In Portland\, this equals about 68 gallons of water per person per day that could be used for exterior irrigation\, if graywater became legally accessible to Oregonians.
Overlook Park - 150 sustainable businesses/organizations\, Kids' Village\, 3 stages of entertainment and a bike ride to start off the day! Check out the website for more info!

The leveling and relatively imminent decline in the world’s fossil fuel production lags somewhat behind global warming in the process of societal awakening. Portland’s Peak Oil Task Force did some fine work in highlighting the issues we’ll all face as energy supplies become tighter and much more expensive. Their report contained a number of useful recommendations and preparatory work for the City’s consideration.
