Sink Stickers Create Awareness of World Water Day

world_water_day_sink.jpg

In another effort (Spanish effort here) to call attention to World Water Day, Duval Guillaume, working for Green Belgium, has created a campaign which, today, will affix stickers to the drains of bathroom sinks in Mexican and Belgian cinemas, pubs, restaurants, universities, transit stations and anywhere else there’s a sink. The message say, “It takes you one second to get drinking water. He has to walk 20 miles.”

Why are there no U.S.-based efforts for this cause? Do we even know it’s World Water Day today?

UPDATE: In comments, Keith says Starbucks is doing something.
