@Yuri: I saw that on the news the other day. Though, I thought it was $500 they were fining for wasted water? Must be different depending on the area. XD

Either way, I'm not into the hype of that challenge for several reasons. It puts too much of a "look at me" flair to something that's supposed to be meaningful, and let's not even mention the peer pressure that's a driving factor behind the whole thing... no one should have to feel pressured to save face by either being weaseled out of their money or following the crowd, nor be ridiculed or shamed if they decline to participate in any way for their own reasons. It just feels more meaningful to donate on your own accord without those other motives and intentions literally splashing into the forefront anyways.

I swear, half the time it's like everything on social media these days is taking us backwards from what we were being taught in school as kids... XP
