Less Phone More Love

We all find ourselves tethered to that little box of joy–the smartphone–sometimes a bit more than we should.  In the coming week smntks will be looking at the impact that our media saturated environment has on us for both good and bad.

Today from Unicef comes a great example of the good we can do with our smartphones.  Instead of just clicking like, do something you know you should do anyways:  put your phone down for a few minutes.

The Tap Project challenges you to put down your phone: 10 minutes touch free will result in a day of clean water for a child in need.  How many days can you donate while you clear your mind?
