Water for a sick world

 

f this works as designed it should go down

as a great hygienic invention. While we ponder and

dwell ad nauseum on the perfect diet, a billion ? or

more are either starving or living on a little rice or

greens they scrounge and bad water that gives them

diarrhea or worse. How fortunate we are to be on the

winning side of our society.At least 2 million a year are dying

in the developing world from typhoid and diarrhea.

The life straw will purify water although it can't

take heavy metals out of the water for about 3 $ a

straw for 700 liters. It uses 7 different types of

filters including carbon, mesh and iodine.

Good for a backpacker or victims of natural

disasters, it will even turn saline water safe although

that would reduce its life by half.

 

LifeStraw filters bacteria such as Shigella, Salmonella, Enterrococus,

Staphylococcus Aureus and E .Coli.

Its not everything but its a little something to make the

world a better place.
