Ice Bucket Challenge: Matt Damon

Donation0 Comments

Damon is nominated by Jimmy Kimmel and Ben Affleck and nominates George Clooney, Bono and Tom Brady. Instead of ice water, Damon uses toilet water, to promote Water.org, whose goal is to provide clean water to people around the world.

We envision the day when everybody has access to a clean drink of water, and here are about 800 million people in the world who don’t…The water in our toilets in the West is actually cleaner than the water that most people in the developing world have access to. So, as disgusting as this may seem, hopefully it will highlight that this is a big problem and hopefully we can do something about it.
