A Rain Barrel Resurgence With School Rain Barrel Fundraiser

Posted by moore julia on April 11th, 2016

Water is the single most necessity in our lives, because without it there is no chance of the human race surviving. So, it is no wonder that with our water reserves significantly decreasing so rapidly, measures need to be taken to stop the rut and try and increase those reserves, if possible. There have been many measures taken over the last few years to preserve water, but the one utility that could rather be the most useful in our water saving quest could be the long forgotten rain barrels.

Used as a water harvesting system for the longest time, its importance died down as the years passed by. But with the almost every country already/potentially facing a water crisis, the importance of preserving water can’t be stressed enough. And the easiest source of extra water? It’s all the rainwater that ends up being wasted as it washes off the surfaces. As we all know that rainwater isn’t really safe for drinking because it contains so many harmful substances that persist in our environment. But, they certainly can be used to water our garden and plants, whenever water troubles present themselves. Additionally, they can also be used to wash our cars, and clean the driveway or the floors in our homes.

With so many benefits that rain barrels present, the next question that arises is, how do we promote the utility and provoke people to use it rigorously? Fundraisers have been singled out as the best way to promote products and services over the years. This is because people get to initially buy the product at a far cheaper rate than the one they get in the market, and once they have enjoyed the benefits of that particular product they definitely come back for more. With the help of their partners, rain barrel companies raise or more from each rain barrel sold. Coming for just around per barrel, these prices are a long way off the 0 price that they sell for in the market.

Schools have traditionally been a good space for rain barrel fundraising campaign, with these campaigns being clubbed with an ongoing event to pull the attention of students’ parents. As they realize the immense benefits that rain barrel carry, along with doing their bit for charity, school rain barrel fundraisers are one of the best way to the resurgence of this utilitarian product, which simply needs to come back in today’s times.
