EEG's Canadian licensee of its
Washwater Gardenª system recently unveiled its first Washwater
Garden. The Big Rideau Lake Association is promoting these
systems, developed by EEG's subsidiary, Sustainable Strategies,
to prevent pollution of the lakeshore by septic systems
and reduce fertilizer use by providing an alternative
way of growing landscapes--with wastewater. EEG provides
