Turn on the Tap 2007
Join in this year's Turn on the Tap Campaign!
C.A.R.E. Stratford's Turn on the Tap Campaign is back! On Friday November 23rd, Common Action for the Restoration of the Environment, C.A.R.E. Stratford, invites you to make tap water your beverage choice for the day and your regular choice for drinking water. "Last year's campaign is still being talked about as the impact of water takings is being felt in our region," commented Kerry McManus of C.A.R.E. Stratford.
Beyond drinking tap water on November 23rd, C.A.R.E. Stratford urges you to make tap water your regular choice for water. Bottled water cannot compete with the cost of drinking water and the decision to purchase bottled water requires a sacrifice of actual needs for some in our community. While PET plastic is recyclable, many plastic bottles end up in the landfill or as litter. Transporting bottled water adds to air pollution and use of fossil fuels, not to mention the impact drawing water for our use has on the source's supply.
Participants are encouraged to donate the money saved by drinking tap water only on Friday November 23rd to Rotary's Aquabox program or C.A.R.E. Stratford for water conservation projects. Participants from outside Stratford are encouraged to support water initiatives in their region. Rotary's Aquabox program is a great initiative that helps provide a means to purify water when a region's municipal supply becomes contaminated. For more information, visit http://rotarystratford.com/aquabox. Donations to C.A.R.E. Stratford will enable us to purchase materials to help individuals decrease their water consumption.
Please join members of C.A.R.E. Stratford as we turn on the tap to remind ourselves that we are fortunate to enjoy safe municipal water and to help provide safe drinking water to others. Through conservation, we help provide water to future generations and through the Aquabox program, we help provide potable water to others around the world.
