Demystifying Greywater with Laura Allen

Regenerative Real Estate Podcast
Written By Neal Collins (he/him)

Water is one of life's most precious resources, yet it is abused and mismanaged. That's not surprising because we have created a system and society that divorces ourselves from where we get our water. We take for granted the potable water in our sinks, and are ignorant about where it goes after it flows into our drains.

On this episode, Laura Allen of Greywater Action helps to demystify greywater and how we can take practical steps to integrate water systems into our lives, our homes, and our yards. She provides low cost and low tech solutions that everyone can partake in.

Laura is the author of The Water-Wise Home: How to Conserve, Capture, and Reuse Water in Your Home and Landscape, a phenomenal resource that should be on every Change Agent's book shelf.

As more individuals and businesses express a growing interest in embracing sustainability and regeneration, we often hear the question, "How can we achieve this?" This inquiry has its roots in my personal journey, which began several years ago when I found myself at a crossroads in my real estate career.
