Almost - I think it's like driving home from work, hearing about a house on fire on the radio news, then, when you get home, you pee and think "I'm doing my bit contributing to the water supply for the fire fighters."

This is closer, but I think the best analogy for this is hearing about the fire, deciding to never buy matches again and thinking that you're doing your part in preventing house fires.
