For the Love of Tap Water

In the U.S., tap water too often gets taken for granted. From March 16th–22nd it will finally get the attention it deserves thanks to Unicef's Tap Project. Participating restaurants will ask diners to donate $1 for each glass of water they would normally receive for free. For every dollar raised, Unicef will provide a child with clean drinking water for 40 days. The initiative began last year, with 300 eateries in NYC collecting over $100,000. This year, more than 2,000 restaurants nationwide have joined the effort; for a full list go to www.tapproject.org.
