The next March 22 the World Water Day, this year with the title “Coping with water scarcity”. This commemoration adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 1992 and held for the first time on March 22, 1993, promotes public awareness activities through conferences, round tables, seminars, exhibitions, documentaries and all kinds of initiatives related to the conservation and development of resources of a good necessary for life, water.
One of these activities that we know through Menéame, is the one adopted by hundreds of restaurants in New York, the Tap Project, customers who come to any of these restaurants and request a glass of tap water, must pay 1 dollar. To us, opening the tap costs us little, we can even say that for many it is something unconscious. We also give little value to the amount that restaurants will request for a glass of tap water, but UNICEF estimates that With 1 dollar you can provide 40 liters of drinking water to a child for forty days or water for forty children a day.
With that dollar you can also provide 100 tablets of water purification that will provide clean water to children who need it.
The funds raised will be destined to the creation of infrastructures that bring drinking water to thousands of children around the world.
Remember, not only World Water Day, but every day, that this is an essential good for life, that we must take care of its use and collaborate as much as possible in the supply to those who lack drinking water.
