Greywater Action Leads Hands-on Greywater Trainings with Laney College's Green Jobs Students

Laney Green Jobs StudentsLaney Green Jobs StudentsThis year Greywater Action has been providing hands-on training for students of Laney College's Green Jobs Training Program. So far we've completed five hands-on installations, building greywater systems from washing machines to irrigate the landscape. Now dozens of fruit trees, shade trees, and shrubs are irrigated by greywater, saving tens of thousands of gallons of clean drinking water each year.

Its been an enormous pleasure to work with the students in this program. Not only has each workshop has left a well-functioning greywater system, but also a happy home owner! Here are thoughts from one after the workshop:
Dear Laney Students
Thank you all for a fabulous job! We are so thrilled! and the plants even more I am sure.
I am really impressed by the end product but equally so by the craftsmanship, the seamless teamwork, and the great care and consideration given to this mature and not always easy to maneuver garden!
I feel very fortunate to have been able to accomplish this so easily and promptly.
Thank you for making our world greener, one garden at a time! I will certainly do my best to pass on the good news to clients and gardeners. Get those green jobs going!
