S.A.V.E. presentation on Gray Water Systems in Montana and a Hippie Ki Yi Aye concert and cd signing with Jason DeShaw this Friday, September 14, at Eco Auto.

Join the Student Advocates for Valuing the Environment Foundation (S.A.V.E.), Montana singer Jason DeShaw, and Eco Auto this Friday from 5-6:30p.m. at 920 West Main Street (next to the Coop). S.A.V.E. will be giving a presentation on Gray Water Systems combined with a free concert and cd signing by Jason DeShaw of The Country Way. S.A.V.E.'s vegi-mobile, running on 100% biodiesel, will also be on display.

Gray water systems are a simple water conservation measure that new home and renovations can look to utilize non-septic water for irrigation or flushing toilets. During the 2007 legislative session, Montana joined a dozen other states in allowing gray water, specifically for single-family homes. Having worked on that legislation, S.A.V.E. is now fostering awareness across the state about gray water systems and their environmental benefits in household construction. Gray water includes most household wash water, such as showers and washers, and is kept separate from black water, which includes toilets and kitchen sinks. A gray water system is designed to treat and reuse the gray water.

Jason DeShaw, a native of Plentywood who has twice crossed the state on S.A.V.E.'s Biodiesel Montana Tours, will be on hand with a free concert and to sign copies of Hippie Ki - Yi - Aye, his country music tribute to expanded recycling and conservation in Montana. Jason has been part of S.A.V.E.'s efforts in the community for several years. Jason has played across the US and is recording his fourth album in Bozeman before heading back to Nashville this Fall. Some of his hits include The Country Way, I'll Come Around, The Savemobile, MIssissippi Mud, Down by the River, Wagon Man, and others.

The event will commemorate the start of a free raffle from BRAC W-200 gray water system, designed to allow a household of up to 5 person to harness gray water. The gray water system, information material, and raffle entry will start this Friday and remain at Eco Auto for the rest of September. More details at Savemobile.org or ecoautoinc.com

Learn about gray water systems (or grey water), a method for conserving water that was just made legal this year during the 2007 legislative session. Gray water systems utilize non-septic water for reuse in lawn irrigation and flushing toilets. S.A.V.E. will explain the benefits of gray water, describe their work and goals with making gray water legal, and explain the basics of installing a system.

S.A.V.E. Legend Jason DeShaw (highest S.A.V.E. award, 2007) will also be on hand to play a few tunes and sign copies of Hippie Ki - Yi - Aye, his country music tribute to expanded recycling and S.A.V.E. Jason has been a part of S.A.V.E.'s efforts in the community for several years and is the featured artist on S.A.V.E.'s Biodiesel Montana Tour. Hippie Ki - Yi - Aye includes many of his great songs from The Country Way, I'll Come Around, to the Savemobile Tribute song and poem.

In addition to hosting this event, the Real Food Store is displaying a gray water system being raffled off by the S.A.V.E. Foundation. The BRAC-200 system, designed for homes of 5 persons or less will be on display for the rest of July. Persons can enter the raffle for free at The Real Food Store or online at Savemobile.org The system will be displayed throughout the state over the next year leading up to a drawing at Earth Day Helena 2008 on April 22nd.

S.A.V.E. is a community non-profit dedicated to expanding recycling, environmental awareness and conservation in the Queen City and throughout Montana. They worked to make gray water legal during the 2007 legislative session and are raffling off a gray water system to demonstrate the potential for water savings in Montana. Jason is in town playing for Last Chance Stampede and Fair. Learn more at Savemobile.org or by calling 406-431-0815.
