Digg for Water!

Hey everybody!  Together we’re gonna kick off World Water Weekend here at OH, FOR THE LOVE OF SCIENCE!

Perhaps you have heard of World Water Day, which occurs March 22nd every year as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources.  Well, I’ve decided that this issue is so important that it deserves your attention for the entire weekend!

Today I want as many people as possible to help out an organization called ONE DROP, founded by Guy Laliberté (who also founded Cirque du Soleil).  ONE DROP’s mission is “water for one, water for all”, or to  fight against poverty by providing access to water and raising awareness among individuals and communities about the need for mobilization in order to make safe water accessible to all, in sufficient quantity, today and tomorrow.
Vodpod videos no longer available.

I want everyone reading this to help ONE DROP’s grassroots effort called Ripple.  Join their Facebook group and their Facebook page.  Follow them on Twitter.  And most importantly, I want you to Digg for water, in an effort to take over the front page of Digg to raise awareness to the urgency known as the Global Freshwater Crisis.
