Today is Earth Day - April 22, 2009 - and a very important day for The Rain Collector and The Country Day School.  The private school, located in King City, Ontario, encourages forward thinking and betterment for all.  Spawning from such principles is the Green Club, formed by Grade 5 and 6 students at the school.

As part of its school-year mission, the Green Club set goals for each school term.  The term 2 project was to make a recycled paper notebook product using paper waste, and sell it to raise money for a rain barrel, the goal for Term 3.  The students raised $60, and as word spread, the school’s Alumni Association matched that amount.

Nedco Products was made aware of this Club’s efforts and decided to match their efforts as well, to ensure that the students could install The Rain Collector TWIN.

This morning, The Country Day School held its Earth Day assembly where the Green Club unveiled and presented The Rain Collector TWIN system to the school.  Surrounding the event was the most direct and comprehensive presentation on the environmental issues at hand.  The specific interest was that the presentation focussed specifically on water conservation and preservation.

The Green Club and the school will be watering a community garden planted at the school with this system.

Nedco Products congratulates the initiative, determination, and leadership that these young students have put forth.
