If you're going to drop an upper-decker, you might as well help fight a drought in the process.
"Drop A Brick" is a nonprofit Indiegogo project created by a partnership of several California businesses, including San Francisco agency BarrettSF that encourages you to buy an eco-friendly rubber brick filled with hydro-gel that expands 200 times its size when water is added. Putting the brick in the top tank will displace half a gallon of water, saving about 50 gallons a week for a family of four.
If every Californian dropped a brick, the initiative says, it would save 67 million gallons of water a day.
The crowdfunding video is basically one big poop joke, but it's surprisingly amusing and has been getting quite a bit of passaround. Still, organizers say they'd like to see more bricks being ordered to help alleviate California's crippling drought as soon as possible.
So check out the video and explainer photos below, then go see about dropping a fat one in the tank. No need for a courtesy flush.
