SGVWA staff attended the 2016 Sustainability Seminar this weekend in Pomona, hosted by the Regen Co-Op. The Co-op is an intentional community formed by a number of neighborhood houses who "strive to incorporate sustainable and regenerative principles in our urban/suburban environment," principles that include conservation of water and electricity and maximizing food production on each property.

Some of the features common to all 5 participating homes include solar power, rainwater capturing, grey water capturing, and functional landscaping. Landscaping on all Co-op homes is either edible or drought tolerant and fed by drip irrigation. Some of the homes go so far as to use sunlight to pre-heat hot water systems, to reduce water waste and increase energy efficiency.

The Sustainability Seminar is an annual event that showcases the efforts of the community members throughout the year and attempts to educate the public about southern California sustainability best practices.

"All four tree species receiving the artificial stormwater grew significantly larger than those receiving the control tap water, demonstrating that they all have the potential to thrive in urban conditions.
Additionally, the results showed all tree species effectively removed nutrients from stormwater when compared with unplanted plots, which actually leached nutrients. The differences between species were not significant."
