Next week’s a good week to eat out — and enjoy a glass of tap water in celebration of World Water Day. That’s because UNICEF’s Tap Project‘s teamed up with restaurants across the country to allow diners an easy way of helping to address the world water crisis. From March 20 to March 26 at participating restaurants, a glass of good old H2O will cost you a buck — with the money going to projects that make clean water available to those who don’t yet have it.

I love how this UNICEF project not only draws attention to the world water crisis, but also encourages people to opt against bottled and for tap water — and appreciate the privilege of having access to clean water all the time, practically for free. The money you give this year will go specifically go to projects in Togo, the Central African Republic and Vietnam.

Find participating restaurants near you on the UNICEF Tap Project site. In the L.A. area, I especially recommend Hugo’s Restaurant and Magnolia, both dining spots that support sustainable,local food. Eat locally, act globally.
