Below is an urgent call-to-action from National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP)--with additional resources added for Colorado. If you're on Twitter, you can also help by retweeting ALCC (@COGreenNOW). We'll be tweeting our support all day.

Today, landscape professionals from across the country will be in DC to send a strong message to Congress that H-2B is a vitally important program that allows companies to hire seasonal workers and sustain American jobs. If you are coming to the H-2B fly-in today, thank you. Talking points will be provided for you during the 9-10 am briefing in room 325 Russell Senate Office Building.

Can’t make it to DC? We still need you to participate in H-2B Advocacy Day by doing the following today:

On May 2nd, Denver City Council passed an ordinance that makes Denver one of the first cities in Colorado to allow the use of graywater for residential, commercial and industrial purposes.

Graywater is defined as the portion of wastewater that is collected from fixtures within residential, commercial, industrial buildings, or institutional facilities for the purpose of being put to a second beneficial use, and can be collected from bathroom and laundry room sinks, bathtubs, showers, and washing machines. Graywater can be used to flush toilets or urinals, or for subsurface irrigation of non-agricultural crops.
