Makes a TON of sense to me, so it blew me away to read that in some places it is ILLEGAL to harvest rainwater!!! You can let it run off your roof into your yard, but you'll get busted if you collect it. Funny, no haha!

Reminds me of an article I just read in Mother Earth News, a farmer has a book out that is titled "Everything I want to do is illegal" . It's about farming and the "food police" that have made eating well and off the farm a hard thing to do.
Oh yea! in California her we are having an energy shortage but it is illegal to run your place off the electric grid. You have to get special permits for wind or solar systems and have electric as back up, which of course you still have to pay for. Crazy!
