We know rain barrels are a great idea. They help keep polluted runoff out of area waterways and conserve water. I don’t have one, but maybe I will soon. This video highlights 30 beautiful rain barrels designed by talented artists and children, all part of a great community project by our local civic foundation. Bay Ridge Consulting is sponsoring the whimsical barrel shown here, painted by Michelle Sherkow. If you want one of these barrels for your home, you can bid on them through the end of May.
