Water You Waiting For?

The Bite:
Get a move on: Portland Roasting Coffee's World Water Day Event's just a couple weeks away (plenty of time to find a dog sitter). After the 3-mile Walk for Water benefiting Water for All, which provides clean drinking water to African schools, watch a screening of award-winning documentary Flow to get the deets on our dwindling water supply - from pollution to the bottled water industry. Then gulp complimentary coffee from PRC (totally counts toward your eight glasses, right?), and groove to Seattle Beatles cover band Creme Tangerine. Stick around for the evening's World Water Day Concert Series benefit, featuring indie folk-pop-soul singer Stephanie Schneiderman. So cut that shower short and go.
Wanna Try: 
World Water Day Event, Mar. 22; Walk for Water, 1pm; WWD Celebration, 3 pm; WWD Concert Series, 6 pm. World Trade Center Plaza, 121 SW Salmon St. Map It (503-226-2377).

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Seattle Biters shorten their showers by just 30 seconds, in a year we'll save enough water to fill up 22 Olympic-size swimming pools.
