May 12, 2025 • 2 hours agoJust installed my first rainwater harvesting system! It was surprisingly easy with the guide from the EcoSyno community. Now I can water my garden and save on my water bill at the same time. Win-win! 💧 #WaterConservation
This looks amazing! How much did the system cost to set up?
About $150 for all the materials, but I'm expecting to save around $20/month on water during the summer. The tutorial is linked in the EcoSyno Resources section!

Quick Facts: LED vs. Traditional Lighting
- LEDs use 75% less energy than incandescent bulbs
- Average lifespan: 25,000 hours vs. 1,000 hours
- Annual savings: $75 per bulb replaced
- Reduces CO2 emissions by approximately 400 pounds per year per household
