Every person deserves clean water

Imagine iconic American moments without clean water, then remember that 40 percent of the planet lacks access to safe drinking water.

My buddy Jerry James Stone passed me the link to some great videos his pal is making for GOOD Magazine.

What would some of America's most iconic moments be like without clean water?

Anyone remember Crocodile Mile? I do. I discovered the song was perma-etched into my brain after listening to it for the first time in a couple decades.

How about the movie Psycho?

Cool Hand Luke ...

Clean water is so very important, yet 2.6 million people on the planet still don't have access to it.

Chris Baskind at Lighter Footstep says we can all do this to help:

Support organizations which bring fresh water to people who don’t have any. Groups such as Water for People, the Blue Planet Run Foundation, and H2O Africa are all working to make every day World Water Day. Find an organization whose efforts excite you, and help provide what they need.
