LifeStraw

For those that do not know, I am 1/4 Congolese (you probably first learned about the country in grammar school with its previous name 'Zaire') and I am always interested in ways to help developing nations. My sister came across this device and I had to share.

Aside from its ability to provide water for a family for up to 2 years (based on 20L of water consumption a day) the LifeStraw claims to remove 99.99% of waterborne bacteria, viruses, and parasites. If this actually works, I am a huge fan. If it doesn't, I am a fan of the intent and I hope they can perfect it soon.
