Today is Blog Action Day 2010 - This year's focus is on the global water crisis

Today is Blog Action Day.  This year, the focus is on the global water crisis!

Here are some facts about water and technology:
  • Today, 2.5 billion people lack access to toilets, but many more have access to a cell phone.  See more at: Water.org
  • The shiny new iPhone in your pocket requires half a liter of water to charge. That may not seem like much, but with over 80 million active iPhones in the world, that’s 40 million liters to charge those alone.  Learn more at: Spectrum.IEEE.org
  • Do you want to measure how much water it took to make your favorite foods? There’s an app for that.  More info at: The Virtual Water Project
