World Water Day 2007

For World Water Day—an international day of observance to draw attention to the plight of 1 billion people who lack access to clean, safe drinking water—a new UNICEF initiative known as the Tap Project has rallied together New York City restaurants to help raise money for clean-water projects.
And so today, at hundreds of participating restaurants across the city, patrons will be invited to pay $1 for tap water usually offered gratis. But whether you’re dining in New York, NY or Sebeak, Minn. (population 710), you’re free to make an online donation directly through the Web site.
For a blast from the past, read what I wrote about World Water Day, a year ago.
