Isn't the whole point of slingshot to create fresh water. If so, then there is not a finite amount of fresh water. Either way, the water on the earth is cycled through... I think I might be missing something... How are we somehow permanently consuming our fresh water?


Im not trying to get into an argument with you, but I disagree that this is a "waste" of water. I think its a pretty darn useful way of using water to raise awareness for something that I am realizing is very important, and something that I was completely in the dark about a month ago. Americans use 400 gal of water on average per day. I think there are other things we should cut back on before we cut back on using a few gallons to raise money for a deserving charity.


I would also like to second the suggestions to go see slingshot. Awesome movie if you can find a theater that'll play it.
