UNICEF's Tap Program worth your time and money
By Mary Chen and Casey Ayala | Mar. 7, 2011Only a fraction of a percent of our planet's water is drinkable. This number hasn't seemed to be a major concern for Americans, since advertisers continuously bombard consumers with brand-name waters, selling the idea that one specific sort is actually better tasting or even healthier than another. When comparing our country to third-world nations, it is truly a shame how we, and others globally, have taken this natural resource for granted, not thinking twice about how difficult it is for the impoverished to obtain water. This issue continues to be a struggle that affects third-world families and children around the globe. Each day, millions of people in underprivileged countries are affected by waterborne diseases, which are threatening the lives of young children. Can you even imagine living in a world where finding drinkable water is a daily struggle?
