Apex Conservation Days

Hi EWB-ers...

I'm making a presentation about Aqueous Solutions' research and projects in sustainable and self-reliant water filtration at an event called Conservation Days in the town of Apex (suburb of Raleigh) on Saturday, May 31. The presentation will be part slide show about our project in Thailand, and part hands-on, how-to demo session for building your own 5-gallon bucket filter for potable rainwater harvested from rooftops. (See paper here.)

Would anyone like to participate in this event with me? There are other interesting workshops happening as well on sustainable energy, land and water resources, organic gardening, water harvesting and rain gardens, etc.

For my bit, it would be nice to have a hand doing the demo, as we will be constructing the filter on the spot during the workshop. And since I want to make sure it works in advance, a few days before we could get together for a dry run (or a wet run, as it were). And perhaps EWB would like to have the demo filter once the workshop is over for research projects, etc.

I was also thinking this could be a good opportunity for outreach for your EWB trips, projects, research, etc. The event has space for tabling and display - you could present your SODIS work for example. Perhaps you could even get some donations for your travels and field work?
Email me if any of these possibilities sound good to you.
