How much do you love your cause? Enough to give up your birthday for it? That’s what Alyssa Milano’s doing this year. The gorgeous actress and outspoken vegetarian is skipping her 37th birthday, forgoing parties and presents in favor of helping her fave organization, Charity: Water. The org funds clean water projects to save lives – about 4,500 children die every day from illnesses brought on by bad water. Alyssa’s asking friends and family to make a donation to Charity: Water instead of buying her a birthday present, and she even wrote an article for the Huffington Post about why she cares about this issue.

Okay, so you don’t have to skip your big day to make a big difference. Save water at home, and encourage others to do the same. And be sure to read Alyssa’s article for great info on water!
