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.

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.

Here are facts about today’s grave water crisis:

- 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.

clean water
yes we take water for granted but we are running out.
yes
yes
Do you take clean water for granted?
Yes, I think living near Lake Michigan with a constant water supply had made us forget how fortunate we are.
Yes we do!
Yes I think most of us do take water for granted. Few people think about how much we use it. We have an abundance of water supplied to us daily. Not only do we take the water supply for granted, but also forget the garbage that is produces. More people should be buying reuseable cups, so there is less garbage. It’s affecting the water supply that we love.
Water waste
I think many of us don’t realize how much water we waste when we wash dishes or even brush our teeth. We definitely take water fro granted here in the U.S.
Yes, it is hard not to when
Yes, it is hard not to when all you need to do is turn a knob and it flows
Not me
When i leave town i miss chicago tap water and only drink bottled water or coffee
Take Water For Granted?
Yes, most of us in the United States seem to take clean, drinkable water for granted. It is obvious in that some people let water run while they are washing dishes, shaving, brushing their teeth, waiting for the water to get hot, etc.
In some countries, people have to pay extra for drinkable water. In some places, there is a shortage of water, and people get sick because they do not have clean,safe water to drink.
If you have ever been camping and have had to pump and haul your water to your campsite, you might start to appreciate the clean and safe water that comes out of your faucet. Most people in Mexico can not drink the water that comes out of their faucets. They have to pay extra for drinkable water.
Yes we do
Absolutely
