Tap Water Only A Dollar.....

To get you introduced into this topic watch this vid on youtube.

So if you actually watched it, the video is about UNICEFS Tap Project if you have no clue what I'm talking about heres their mission statement they put out along with the video on Youtube:

To address this situation, a nationwide effort is launching during World Water Week called the Tap Project, a campaign that celebrates the clean and accessible tap water available as an every day privilege to millions, while helping UNICEF provide safe drinking water to children around the world.

The Tap Project.

Beginning Sunday, March 22 through Saturday, March 29, restaurants will invite their customers to donate a minimum of $1 for the tap water they would normally get for free. For every dollar raised, a child will have clean drinking water for 40 days. What started as a local fundraising event in Manhattan, New York last march has turned into a global trend that we caught on too, funny thing is out of all the supporters of this ''Tap Project'' Canada has probably the worst turnout. Unlike New York, Toronto, Unfortunately hasn't been as spread widely accross our city as it did in New York in fact I'm pretty sure almost 95% of you who are reading this weren't aware this this event was even going on. It also doesn't help that Although tap water is being sold for this whole week (starting March 22nd and ending on the 29th), it's only available in Canada through restaurants owned by Cara, i.e. Harvey's, Swiss Chalet, Montana's, Milestones and Kelsey's...... what a coincidence that its Earth Day tomorrow. So if your feeling nice feel free to visit one of these restaurants and support UNICEFS Tap Project. I know when i first read this article in The Toronto Star i was dumbfounded at the fact that they would make us pay for tap water that is actually free, but when you actually think about for every dollar raised, a child will have clean drinking water for 40 days not bad considering we have clean water running 24 hours, 365 days a year and we still complain about tap and resort to buying bottled water which is actually a lot of fucking money for water.
