I'll Drink to That!

Tomorrow, March 22nd, is World Water Day. Here's a link to help you get started with water conservation in your families lives, and to mark tomorrow's festivities. And here's a link to theWATERproject.ca, a project founded my my husband Nathaniel and our good friend Wade, that is making sustainable access to clean drinking water a reality for two small villages in Ghana.



Make tomorrow a water conservation day in your household! Wear blue. Make a special effort to use as little water as possible. Talk about ways to save water everyday - and if you're really keen, set up a jar and collect 5 cents every time you or a family member washes their hands, 25 cents for every toilet flush, and 50 cents for every shower or bath.

At the end of the day, tally up your collection and talk about how much water you used - then donate your collection to theWATERproject.ca, the Council of Canadians or another water-security project of your choice.
