As part of her efforts for World Water Day, Mandy Moore provided lawmakers on Capitol Hill with copies of the April issue of National Geographic.
Founded in 1888 for the "increase and diffusion of geographical knowledge," the National Geographic Society is one of the country's foremost scientific and educational institutions. With a membership standing at more than 8.5 million, National Geographic employs more than 1500 writers, photographers, and scientists in bases across the world.
As a leader in the natural and scientific fields, the focus of National Geographic on the global water crisis signals a significant commitment by the publication. Focusing on a number of challenging areas, the April issue looks at the effects of the water crisis on developing countries, its impact on freshwater creatures, and regions with notable water issues, including the Tibetan Plateau and the Jordan River. The issue also look at solutions such as desalinization and the efforts of water conservation.
Noting the impact of this major discussion, National Geographic has also taken the unusual step of publishing its entire issue at NationalGeographic.com.
Be a part of the solution by enjoying April's issue of National Geographic!

I haven't heard much about Mandy in the way of her music, but I'm glad to see that she's socially active, and this water cause is a good one. Come to San Francisco sometime! We've got the best-tasting water in the whole world. Well, I may be biased... =)
By the way, an old song of Mandy's gets a special mention in a novel I just finished.
