TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: How one guy in England is beating the drought in his own creative way

It seems that everywhere is going through a crazy drought lately. Even over in England where it’s really bad. To the point that the English government recently announced a ban on garden hose watering in certain parts.

But one guy doesn’t have to worry about this at all. His name is Peter Harden and he’s been storing rainwater in huge containers on his property since 1976 when England went through another famous drought. He now has almost 1,500 gallons of water all to himself to use.

He’s an 82 year old former teacher who has been retired for a while now. He’s lived in the same house for 52 years and as you can imagine… has the greenest lawn on the block.
