Tap Project 2008

There are a lot of things we take for granted in an industrialized nation: a roof over every head, a chicken in every pot, and a macchiato in every post-consumer recycled paper cup. According to UNICEF, there are 1.1 billion people in this world without access to the most basic necessity: water. From March 16th through 22nd, restaurants participating in the Tap Project 2008 will ask their patrons to donate a minimum of $1 for the tap water they normal get gratis. Your buck will buy 40 children a day of clean drinking water. So, don’t bother with bottled water next month, save your Starbucks bucks, and go out for a generous cup of agua fria.
