		<description>Hi Clement

You are doing a wonderful job. Back home water is still a major problem. Just imagine our cities go without water for weeks

		<description>Hi Clement,

Interesting idea, but I agree with Zander above, in so far as you have to get big corporations behind these schemes, and while western consumers are happy to buy bottled water, then the corporations won&#039;t change their tune. So it needs to be a two-pronged attack. 
The plan you talk about will obviously work, because it does not cost the restaurant anything. If we asked the restaurant to offer the tap water INSTEAD OF THE BOTTLED WATER THEY WERE ABOUT TO ORDER, I don&#039;t think you&#039;d get the same success.
But then again, as SoHoB said, raising awareness on any scale will only help.

Best of luck with your blog - some very thought provoking posts here.

Cheers

		<description>I think it is all about awareness on a broader scale because the more people know about it the less they can ignore it.</description>

		<description>Hi,

While I applaud this initiative, this gets me onto one of my pet hates. Well two of them.
Number 1, companies who package ordinary water into &quot;Designer Spring Water&quot;, and sell it for a ridiculous amount of money.
number 2, the stupid people who BUY the stuff, and then pose around in running shoes carrying the bottle, and then just throw it in the street. 

Sorry did I offend anyone? Maybe, but how about if the companies concerned made a donation to World Water Week, and the people who buy it? Fill your bottle from the tap, and donate the $1 you would have spent.

		<description>I have already donated for the very worthwhile project.  Unfortunately, I cannot volunteer at the present moment.</description>
