Over the course of fifteen days, I performed a science experiment to determine if grey water has the same effect on plants as clean water. Before the experiment, I researched and learned that grey water is the water used to bathe and clean clothes. I hypothesized that grey water would work just as well as clean water when growing plants. For the experiment, I grew twelve radish plants using clean water and twelve radish plants using grey water. I took pictures of the plants and measured their height every third day to record my results. After fifteen days, all twenty-four radish plants successfully grew, no matter what type of water was used. Therefore, in order to conserve an important resource, I encourage you to sign this petition to use grey water on your household plants and gardens as opposed to clean water. Using grey water is much more effective and a GREENER way to live!

This is such a smart idea. We waste so much clean water on outdoor plants when we could easily reuse what we already have. Great experiment!

My grandmother did this for years with her garden and her roses were always the biggest in town. Stop wasting clean water.

Droughts are getting worse every year. This is a simple fix that everyone needs to start doing now.
