We have seen celebrities use things other than water when taking the
ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Well Matt Damon did use water for his challenge, but he used it from a source that no one else has ever attempted before him. What is that source? He took the aqua from his toilet.
Why? I mean, ewwwww. Here in LA, we are going through a major drought and he didn’t want to waste any water. In addition, he wanted to prove the point that the toilet water here in “the West is actually cleaner than the water that most people in the developing world have access to.”
So besides bringing awareness to the ALS Association (which he donated money to), he also wanted to make people aware of his charity,
Water.org. His mission worked on me. Although it is going to take me, a while to get over being so grossed out. It’s toilet water. But if I am this horrified by it and it’s cleaner than some of the water people in parts of Africa are drinking, then we really need to make a difference as soon as we can. No one should drink water that is worse than the stuff that fills up toilet bowls before we fill them up with our own water.
Just one more time, but it is toilet water. So ewwwwwww.
