Eco-Friendly Fountains Enhance 'Green' Living
In today's world, it's growing more and more important to live a 'greener' life - leaving as small of a footprint on the earth as we can. Recycling, using sustainable resources, energy conservation and reducing pollution are just a few ways we can do our part to keep this planet a healthy place to live. Even water fountains are available in earth-friendly models that reduce the electricity, water and resources that we consume every day.
Nearly all re-circulating water features are eco-friendly fountains, but there are some types in particular that really go an extra step toward the goal of 'green living'. Solar fountains don't use any electricity at all - they operate solely on the power of the sun's rays. Natural bamboo fountains are made from bamboo plants, a resource lauded by environmentalists as being very earth-friendly since it grows abundantly and rapidly. Even every day wall fountains, tabletop fountains, floor fountains and garden fountains typically use only about the same amount of energy as a table lamp. Re-circulating fountains use the same water over and over again, only needing to be occasionally topped off to make up for evaporation.
Solar fountains utilize special panels that convert sunlight into energy. They're available in a great variety of colors and styles, including birdbath fountains, which provide a much-appreciated source of fresh water for birds, butterflies and other wildlife. In this way, they help to maintain a natural ecosystem in your yard, which is a small but helpful way to try to lower the impact we make on the wild as homes are built. Solar water fountains are very affordable, and some models are exceptionally adaptable to different yard conditions - they have up to 15 feet of cord connecting the feature to the solar panel, allowing you to place the panel in the sunlight while still enjoying your fountain in the shade.

Bamboo fountains use one of the most sustainable resources on the planet in their construction. Most are made entirely of durable treated bamboo, with the exception of the pump. These fountains blend in beautifully with any kind of landscaping, and can be purchased in a variety of elegant designs.
The addition of a water fountain to your interior or exterior space is a great way to feel connected to nature, reminding you of the beauty that exists in this world. Fresh, clear, flowing water is a vital component in every aspect of life, and fountains bring that wonderful flowing water sound to any spot you like.
