What is one thing super simple, inexpensive that people can do to make a positive impact on the world?

Oh my goodness. There's a ton of things. Things like turning your lights off. Yeah. Turn your turn your TV off when you leave. Right. The cats don't need to watch TV. We waste 602 million gallons a day in the United States of America of people leaving the water on when you brush your teeth. Yeah. We're just used to hearing that sound. Yeah. Turn it off. Think about that.

And and how are you involved in the water project? How did you get involved?

Well, Katerina Graham and I are extremely close, never to the fact that we spent the last two and a half years working together on the show and um this organization that she's created and what we're doing is all about collaboration. It's collaborative spirit of these organizations coming together to make progress.

Miss Kat Graham, how did you get involved in the water project charity?

Um I think it was just fate. You know, I woke up one morning and I wanted to build a well and I got all my fans and friends to donate and within a couple months we had a well built in Uganda at the Raconne School. And um after that, I just it wasn't enough. I want I knew that I could I could do more. Right. Um and I just wanted to prove to myself that I could.

What is a statistic that you've heard through working with charities like this that really stuck with you?

I mean, I think I read 8 million people are going without water every day.

1 billion.

1 billion. That's insane.

1 billion.

Are you looking forward to seeing anyone tonight? Cuz I know you've got a ton of friends that are out here to support you.

At the end of the day, you know, no one has to be here. You know what I mean? Anyone that's here is just so kind to just be here. You, pearl, you, you know, anyone that's here. I'm so grateful. You know, Ian Somerhalder him joining me in this was such a massive thing for me. Nina Dobrev who really is my best friend and who supports me endlessly. Um them here as as my friends and people I work with every day.

How did you get involved in the water project?

Um I'm just invited uh through some mutual friends here. Um but I I actually have a very strong connection to it. Uh I uh was just in Kenya two weeks ago doing a movie called A Chance of Rain. And that movie is all about a a water activist, um which is my my character. So we were over there out in the villages, um building some wells and uh just basically getting some footage out there.

What is one thing super simple, super inexpensive that the people watching can do to make the world a better place?

Well, I mean, since we're talking about water, any anything like that. It's, you know, turn off the water when you're not using it. Um, you know, cut your showers a little shorter. Don't fill up the bathtub so high. Just like things like that. I mean, um anything to kind of conserve, I mean, the same with energy. Turn the lights off. It's very simple stuff really. Um that anybody can do. But um it's it's pretty incredible to be over there and and see the suffering that that they're going through and then we, you know, coming back here and we have we have it so good. So, I think um you know, it's just something that we all need to be aware of that there are so many people suffering and we are so blessed to have what we have.

What's the best gift you've ever given in the spirit of the holidays and charity?

Oh, man. Um I don't know. I don't know. You mean like like for a friend or something or a family member? Um Maybe it's just a hug. Maybe Kinsey needs a hug. And she likes you on 90210. Maybe that's the best gift.

Everybody likes a hug.

It's true. I mean, you know, hugs are good.

Is it weird that when I saw you, in my head, I went

Well, I'll tell you why it is weird because that's not our theme song anymore.

I know, but you are you are you are like the next Dylan McKay, though. You're far and beyond.

All right. Well, I'll take it.
