Uncomfortable Conversations - Part 2

GIFTING DEATH...THE ICE BUCKET CHALLENGE



The age old rhyme...
WATER WATER EVERYWHERE
NOT A DROP TO DRINK


Indeed a charitable cause or simply put insufficiency of COMMON SENSE!!!

To put the waste this campaign has caused into simple terms, let’s just assume everyone is using a five gallon bucket. Now multiply that number by the more than 1.2 million videos shared on Facebook since June 1. Based on that assumption (5 x 1,200,000), over 6 million gallons of water have been poured out in the name of Lou Gehrig’s Disease. The average American household uses 320 gallons per day, which means that based on this estimation, nearly 19,000 homes’ daily water usage has been wasted. And that’s not even taking into account that videos posted online often depict multiple people, sometimes even entire sororities or fraternities, taking part in the ice bucket challenge, often using more than one bucket per video.

Moreover,
The donations are sidelined... its just for the adrenaline rush.
Try living in california or a drought hit slum for a day

CHALLENGE:
GIVE A BUCKET FULL TO SOMEONE WHO DOES'NT HAVE A DROP TO DRINK
DO NOT BATH FOR A DAY
LET THEM DRINK

CAN YOU SACRIFICE A BUCKET???

Wasting is easy
Living without it is not


FEEL THE UNTOUCHABLE
