World Toilet Day is a global day of action to increase awareness for toilet users’ rights and to advocate a better toilet environment. This day is marked by individuals, toilet associations, and other advocacy groups across the world to bring attention to a cause that truly affects every everyone on earth. The World Toilet Organization is a not for profit group dedicated to improving toilets and sanitation globally.
The task is huge, 2.5 billion/40% of the world’s population is without access to sanitation. The WTO alone can’t fight this situation but if you join them in this movement, its possible. At WTO they have a belief that “Change is possible. Because I’ll make it possible.”
Each of you can be a change agent by contributing your time, talent, skills and commitment to make it happen. The WTO needs everyone and anyone ,whether a student, housewife, executive, artist, schools, universities, corporations, institutions originating from any part of the world, of various language, religion, ethnicity and ideological persuasion, to come together and join the movement towards delivering toilets to 2.5 billion toilet-less.

On Monday, August 31, come to a fabulous collaboration between Bay End Farm in Buzzards Bay and The Blue Room in Cambridge. Know your roots! Go back to the “farm to table” movement – the Bay End Farm is putting one long table back in the middle of the farm. Join them amidst the beautiful farm of organic vegetables. You will be sitting anywhere from just a few feet to a few miles from where your dinner will be sourced and only yards from where it will be prepared. The hosts will be setting up the table out in the field and under the sun on a gorgeous late afternoon to feast on what the earth has offered. A farm tour begins at 3 pm, and the four course menu paired with organic wines dinner begins at 4. Cost is $75 per person ($65 if a Bay End Farm CSA member), and please note this is a bring your own plate event. The Blue Room chef Jorge Lopes will present his best work, and all proceeds from the dinner will facilitate Bay End Farm’s efforts to build their farm stand kitchen.
