Tap DC: Mother Earth

Would you pay for a glass of tap water at a local restaurant? How about a dollar?

The Tap Project was started on this simple premise: for one week patrons of any participating restaurant of a sponsoring city would donate one dollar for a glass of water. This donated money would be used by UNICEF to provide clean, accessible drinking water to children around the world.

This year, Tap DC sponsored a contest to raise awareness of this event, happening during World Water Week, the week of March 22-28. This is my entry: Mother Earth, freely giving water the world. Her generosity is free; ours should be just as giving and just as selfless.

This entry, and many more like it, will be on display at Pepco’s Edison Place Gallery (located at 702 8th St., NW in Washington DC) on Tuesday, March 24 between 6:00 and 9:00 p.m.

I urge that during the World Water Week, you donate at tapproject.org or tapdc.org, or you can dine out and donate at restaurants all over Washington DC.

Your dollar can give a child clean drinking water for 40 days. Now would you pay a dollar?
