World Water Reserve recently featured an article about rainwater collection restrictions in some states.

According to the article, "You want to start collecting rainwater on your property but you've heard some rumors about the government making it illegal to do so."

Who knew?

"So, what's the truth? Is rainwater harvesting really illegal?"

The U.S. Supreme Court in Sackett v. EPA finally settled the definition of WOTUS, i.e. Waters of the United States. Rather than repeat competing media spins on what this means for regulatory powers of the EPA in general and clean water in the U.S. in particular, we're posting a link to the actual SCOTUS decision. 

An article from Planet Natural Research Center reports, "EPA requires agricultural advisement on the popular growth amendment.

Kelp extract now  "requires careful labeling. No fruit or vegetables, say a tomato, can be pictured on the label. That would be a violation of EPA rules and would carry a stiff fine."
