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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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...

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!
