Actor Edward Norton drinks dirty water in an effort to raise awareness for Water For People, an international nonprofit organization that aims to bring clean water and sanitation methods to everyone.

Water For People launched a Crowdrise campaign, that will run through Oct. 31, in an effort to raise $2 million for the nonprofit organization.  Your donation directly helps Water_for_People.

From their website:

Get an awesome red stainless steel water bottle generously provided by Marmot Mountain with a donation of $100 or more. Be sure to "Claim your bottle" - there's a link in the Thank You email.

Trip for 2 to Rwanda! Become a fundraiser yourself and raise at least $1000 and you’ll be entered to win an all-expenses paid trip for two to Rwanda to join a World Water Corps volunteer expedition in 2012! Every $1000 raised earns you another entry.

In addition to a slew of prizes being offered throughout the two months, fundraisers who raise $1,000 will be entered for the chance to win a trip for two to Rwanda to join a Water For People volunteer trip – in Edward’s words, “how romantic is that?! Anyone can take their girlfriend to the beach.”
