Celebrate World Water Day March 22nd

Headed out to eat this weekend? Today through Saturday you can add a dollar to your bill at participating restaurants and help support clean water initiatives around the world as the Tap Project celebrates UN's World Water Day on the 22nd.

Clean fresh water is easy to take for granted here in the US, but in other parts of the world people, usually children, must walk miles to find a water source - one that may not always be safe. According to UNICEF, nearly 6,000 children a day actually die from thirst or a water-related disease. It is up to all of us to talk about it and help make the change.
