When you're a movie star like Leo DiCaprio, you get to choose where and with whom you're going to do the Ice Bucket Challenge. Instead of a movie set, he did it in on a beach with a First Nations community. Instead of nominating his famous friends, he challenged some petroleum dudes and the prime minister of Canada. First Nations communities have been trying to stop the tar sands and the poisoning of their water. I wonder if Canada's prime minister, Stephen Harper, will take the Ice Bucket Challenge using *that* water?
Check out the video of Leonardo DiCaprio and the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation doing the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. Here's some info on the environmental impact and the tar sands resistance movement. If you're interested, here's one of my other posts on the topic.
