CHICAGO – In our inaugural edition of HollywoodChicago.com Hookup: Charity, we have one limited-edition water bottle with a Matt Damon-signed thank you up for grabs in support of the global, non-profit joint effort by Water.org, CamelBak and Matt Damon to raise awareness about the planet’s unsafe water crisis!
Thanks to Water.org co-founders Matt Damon and Gary White, Water.org has launched a water campaign called “Hope in a Bottle”. In partnership with CamelBak, Water.org has developed a limited-edition, reusable and environmentally friendly water bottle.
The campaign is running through the holiday season and the bottle can only be purchased at http://gift.water.org with 100 percent of the profits going directly to Water.org projects around the globe. HollywoodChicago.com has secured one of these water bottles plus a Matt Damon-signed card as a thank you to one of our lucky readers!
All in the true spirit of giving, Hope in a Bottle gives you the chance to give a meaningful and original gift to a loved one for the holidays while giving clean water to someone in need. Everyone who buys a bottle will receive a link to follow the progress of a community that their purchase is going to help. This allows you to actually see how your donation is being put to good use.
Water.org can be followed on Twitter here and liked on Facebook here.

Here are facts about today’s grave water crisis:
- Nearly 1 billion people have no access to clean water and more than 2.5 billion don’t have proper sanitation.
- Water-borne diseases kill 9,000 people (mostly small children) every day. That’s one person every 10 seconds.
- More lives are claimed each year by water-related diseases than by guns and wars.
- Only one in three people in the world have a toilet. More have cell phones.
- In many countries, the impact is felt most deeply by women who gather water, care for stricken children and cope with the ramifications of this life-crushing burden.

Yes! Its hard not to when it
Yes! Its hard not to when it comes so easily to us.
Yes! We have clean water to
Yes! We have clean water to help us brush our teeth, shower, the toilet water is even clean not to mention the convenient store on the corner is bombarded with various water bottles branded to us so we believe that one is better than the next, our offices get water delivered to it so that we don’t have to drink for the tap. I don’t think we realize how difficult our lives would be without the clean water we have.

Mostly. Not as much as when everybody still drank tap water.
Water
We all take clean water for granted.
It is only steps away from us here in America.
In India people have to go miles to get a jug of fresh water.
Water is finite. when it runs out …we’re out.
There are alternate supplies of energy when we run out of oil but when we run out of water…watch out.
Do most of us take clean water for granted
Of course we do and that is in a way blessing and in another way a curse. For the sake of the generations to come, we have to really try and earn our right to clean water by doing whatever we can to preserve our environment so that the clean water will be available for generations to come.

WE are very fortunate to have a wonderful water supply!

Clean Water
Yes, most of us take clean water for granted. We can’t even image what it must be like in other countries and the efforts that people must go through for clean water. We are very fortunate.
clean drinking water..
Clean drinking water is all we really know (I mean our regular tap water is cleaner than many places )and yes we do take it for granted. I personally can’t imagine living without it.
Do we take clean water for granted?
Yes.
The Chicago metro water system works.
Hopefully, there are no plans to privatize it like our parking meters.
