The celebrities vow not to use the toilet until everybody has access to safe water

Matt Damon, Jessica Biel, Jason Bateman and Josh Gad (and many others, for that matter) have been on a toilet strike for quite some time now.

Recent news on the topic says that, after learning about how millions of people still lack access to safe water and proper sanitation, Bono, Olivia Wilde and Richard Branson have decided to join them.

The idea behind this strike is pretty straightforward: none of these celebrities is to use the toilet again until people in all corners of the world have access to clean water.

Fear not, none of the people who have decided to join Matt Damon's strike is going to need surgery because of bowels obstruction anytime soon. This is because they haven't really quit using the toilet.

On the contrary: they're just pretending that they did so in order to raise some awareness with respect to this pressing issue.
