Vestergaard Frandsen S.A.—which also produces mosquito nets and plastic sheeting coated with insecticide to fend off malaria—hopes that the $3 LifeStraw will drastically lessen their chances of getting sick. “It’s a product that can save lives without spare parts, electricity or maintenance,” says the firm’s CEO. So far about 2,000 LifeStraws have been sold, mostly to aid agencies. (The product is still being fine-tuned for mass production.)
did that video seem like a joke to anybody else? It reminded me of an SNL skit. If this is real, very cool idea. I guess that is if pure water is safe? whatever that meant.
I think it’s a great idea! As no one can live without water, it could truly be a livesaving item.
