Funny Fail Pictures

The funny water barrel picture above shows one of the dozens of rain water barrels that were placed at Oak Park as a way to alert people to the importance of water conservation. These barrels can collect water from the rain to help save water and protect the environment.

Everyone can contribute to the cause by using similar rain barrels to collect water in their own houses and use it to water the plants or wash the car for instance. Just think of all the wasted water that falls of your roof top every year. Just by placing some barrels like the one in the picture (ok, it doesn't need to have funny paintings on it…) in your backyard you can do your own rain harvesting, think about it.
