The Rain Barrel Business ....or How Not To Retire Early
I am starting this blog with this thought because I got a call yesterday from a defunct rain barrel seller. He was offering to sell me his stock of rain barrels, about 400 of them. He said he had only sold about 60 rain barrels in the last couple years. He was moving and wanted to get rid of them. At this point I only sell my own design of rain barrel and hadn't even given a thought to carry another style. I see my design as superoir on many levels. If I didn't see the design as superior I shouldn't have taken this whole business this far.
Let me catch everybody up. I sell rain barrels and other water conservation products at my online store, www.aridsolutionsinc.com. I did not start this business to get rich or retire early. Good thing because neither is happening. What has happened is that the business has given me opportunities to educate people about rainwater harvesting, water conservation and why it is so important.
So this is what this blog is about. I would love to hear from people all over who are in the business of water conservation and people who make water conservation part of the way they live. I am really looking forward to what all this interaction can do for the issue of saving our fresh water. Think Rain, Think Recycle!

dbjc---Thank you for the kind words of praise. I see the whole water issue and the need to change habits as the need for education. And we all know people don't change unless they become uncomfortable. For many people the costs associated with obtaining fresh water will become painful enough to change their habits. Good luck with your acre and I look forward to providing you with great rain barrels! Lisa
