Free App to Mark World Water Day

Have we told you the great news?  We’ve now signed on to write the wine content for “Tip This” a cool restaurant app used by foodies and restauranteurs all over the world!

Have we told you the better news? Today, Tip This goes free to mark World Water Day!

According to WWD’s website, earth is home to 7 billion people – each of us consuming up to 4 litres of water daily – not just by drinking it, but in the food we eat: producing two pounds of beef, for example, requires about 15,000 liters of water.   Two pounds of wheat needs 1,500 litres of water.

Worse than that, the website states that while a billion people live in chronic hunger and without adequate access to water — there’s a whopping 30% of food produced around the world is never eaten.  That’s nothing short of sad.

World Water Day aims to shine a light on the need for freshwater and building and maintaing sustainable freshwater resources for communities.

To do their part, the minds behind Tip This have donated the app to go free for today only.  There’s a section on it that talks about the importance of water, and  urges foodies and diners to reconsider the need for $10 bottled water when dining out.

Download the app today and look for us starting in April as we will offer regular wine blogs — and pop up on occasion in the community discussion groups to offer our two cents.

See you in app world!
