Dousing yourself with a bucket full of ice cold water is used to get attention, not to feed yourself. Water is something that should be used not as a way to get attention in a silly scheme, but to cure your thirst. Not once have I ever said that we shouldn't try and save water other ways. But those other ways have become the way of life, a necessity. Water to bathe yourself. Water to brush your teeth. Should water be a way of attention too? Because attention really shouldn't be a way of life. Use water usefully, at least usefully in the context of the modern day society.

Plus, if you are desperate to partake in the challenge, wait till the winter and dump an all natural bucket of water over your head. Or snow.

Some of the things you just said are plain silly. This isn't something that should be compared to food because the goal of the ice bucket challenge has nothing to do with food. Are you calling The ALS Association silly? Well that right there doesn't make much sense. Pouring a bucket of water on your head is a way to raise awareness about this association and to raise funding. It may seem like a strange and even wasteful way to raise awareness but it's something that's fun to do and something that's fun to challenge your friends to do also.

In some ways, yes, it is used to get attention and by getting attention they are raising awareness for ALS and also large quantities of money are being donated which helps with research. So, by the rules of the ice bucket challenge, if you refuse to partake in the dumping of ice cold water upon your head you must donate, so below is the link to where you can donate.

Hate to break it to you, but snow is water. Doesn't that seem a bit hypocritical of your main points?
