*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.

Global warming is not just a topic for presidential candidates to debate. Locally, climate experts, politicians and mountain climbers are gathering to learn what is really happening to our mountains, what policy-makers are doing to address it, and what we can do as individuals to make a positive contribution.
Local mountaineering organization, the Mazamas, is hosting a “Melting Mountains Conference” on April 14, 2007 at its new facility, the Mazama Mountaineering Center. The conference will bring together a panel of research experts, environmental writers, agencies and local politicians to discuss the impact of global warming on mountains, the environment and our community.
