On World Water Day, March 22, 2007, hundreds of restaurants in New York City invited customers to donate just $1 for the tap water they usually enjoy for free. All the money raised through the Tap Project helps UNICEF save lives by providing safe drinking water to children around the world. Thanks to every restaurant, customer, donor, and organization who contributed to the Tap Project and helped make the first year a success! The Tap Project will be in cities across the country in March 2008. Stay tuned for updates.

Well the unicef ... ( 8 months ago by l0Arita0l)

Well the unicef should stop this right now! At this rate of procreation there will be no clean fresh water or land for other animals that share this world with us! who the fuck are they to help someone who will not contribute their living on this world?! You see, this helping all around brought us to this point of high procreation without seeing all the consequences of it, so stop helping! (there is no such thing as free meal or shouldn't be)

It's not our problem either. People who can't take care of themselves need to be weeded out. That goes for whole nations too. Especially ones who will never return any favors they recieve, ever.

survival of the fittest as humans, we're organisms, no more no less. do you think supporting weekness instead of strength is good for the population as a whole?

Yeah, lets spend all this money getting "safe drinking water" (lol) over to the starving kids in africa so they can live and have kids so our kids can pay for their kid's water too! Hurray.

UNICEF's Target by ... ( 8 months ago by arianna2009)

UNICEF's Target by 2015: Ensure that all boys and girls complete a full course of primary schooling. Educated girls are likely to marry later and have fewer children, who in turn will be more likely to survive and be better nourished and educated. Educated girls are more productive at home and better paid in the workplace, and more able to participate in social, economic and political decision-making.

it should be ... ( 7 months ago by indyrecordstore)

it should be obvious that the world can not support 6 billion people at the western standard of living. its not the West's problem they dont have birth control, only that they were exploited for many years. without immigration, the population in america is decreasing. at a rate that is possible to live comfortably, tougher immigration standards and education around the world would solve many problems. its slowed down the population boom in india, EDUCATION!

Have some compassion buddy. Like it or not we all have to live in this world together, The US is not and cannot be an isolated entity for the wealthy. With that kind of attitude terrorism and war are inevitable. coexistence...

Does anyone know that fantastic song they used? I support Unicef's Tap Project! The world needs to get ready for a whole new generation of global philanthropists. March 22, 2008 Here we come! I'm in Philadelphia, USA, anyone know how I can't get involved in my area?

It sucks dude, but ... ( 7 months ago by GallowayJesse)

It sucks dude, but the earth simply cannot support a whole population living at the standard we all visualize. It's not possible. When we support these people, were just perpetuating the problem. And they will NEVER return the favor. Were supporting a gene pool of people who live on a continent that if it somehow hypothetically noone had ever discovered it...it would be 2008 and they would still be throwing spears at eachother.

Well, if Europeans ... ( 7 months ago by purplem)

Well, if Europeans didn't invade the Americas, I suppose the Native Americans would still be running around with spears too??? Colonialism has already taken it's toll on many people around the globe, it's far too late to say that now we should step back and do nothing. We have already stepped in and done something (though usually the wrong thing) American standard of living is not possible for everyone in the globe, you are right about that. However a better standard of living is possible.

That's absolutely ... ( 7 months ago by GallowayJesse)

That's absolutely right about the native americans. It's called survival of the fittest and when we get in the way of that is what keeps these problems from working themselves out, and creates more problems.

Wo! It's not that ... ( 7 months ago by purplem)

Wo! It's not that simple. You think the Israeli-Palestinian conflict will just "work itself out". These problems are far more complicated than that and it's become quite obvious that violence is not the way to solve them, just pick up a history book. The point is UNICEF is doing a good thing, so don't knock them for it

Great campaign! I would totally pay the $1...all I drink is restaurants is the tap water anyway. Although, I heard that traces of prescription drugs were found in the tap water. I saved it in my 'favorites'. But I'm still grateful to have access to drinkable water in our country. And I support those organizations doing their part to provide clean water to other countries.

I would so pay one extra dollar. Everything has to have water. I really-really like music at the end of the commercial. Its ehtnic-like, does anyone know where I can find the composer of it? Or its file? I've tried looking already and the ad doesn't have any reference for its commisioned music...

Holy cow I am in love with the music in the nearing end of the ad! Does anyone know where I can find it? Everything needs water to live. If it were happening in my area I'd do it, but its not so I can't really do that much to help. The united states is blessed beyond measure...
