Groovy Greening Linkage
I've not been paying attention to a lot of my RSS feeds lately, but today I found these two gems on GroovyGreen and wanted to share:
No matter what you may think of his vehicular preferences, Arnold Schwarzenegger is definitely an environmentalist... at least in his politics. He's just signed into law new legislation that will encourage and enforce more solar electric power generation across the state of California.
The bill, which cleared the state Senate last week, calls for the installation of 1 million rooftop solar panels on homes, businesses, farms, schools and public buildings by 2018.

The second story they had included a cool invention that lets you recycle "grey water", (that's water you run down the drain and bathtub, but not your toilet) and re-use it to water the garden/crops in your backyard. Created as a work-around for water usage bans during heat waves, they're calling it The Ban Beater.
Is it just me or is it kinda sad that water had to be restricted before this was invented? Why the hell aren't all buildings built to flush with grey water in the first place?
