LIFE STRAW
The personal water filter
Picture this scenario, you are hiking in the woods. You just finish the last few drops of water inside your water bottle, and you're still about 2 miles from your destination.
Never fear! You have the lifestraw. All you need to do is find the small stream, lake, or river. Then you refill your bottle with whatever water source you find and use your LifeStraw to get clear, clean water to finish your trip.
Perfect for hunting, hiking, and fishing! Or just filling your water bottle from the tap.
Not only is the LifeStraw perfect for the great outdoors, it is being used to aid in disaster situations, and relieve efforts as well. Organizations such as The Rotary Club International and many others are taking great measures to help people get the LifeStraw so they may clean drinking water.
How does it work?
You can drink directly from lakes, rivers, or your water bottle. Simply put the lower part of the straw in the water, and sip through the other end. After drinking, blow back into it to clear the filter.
LifeStraw filters over 264 gallons (1,000 liters) to 0.2 microns, which removes dangerous bacteria and protozoa. The removal rate exceeds EPA standards for water filtration.
The technology behind this portable water filtration system has been featured on CNN, Fast Company, BBC, Time, and the New York Times. LifeStraw is also Time Magazine invention of the year, 2005, Saatchi & Saatchi Award for World Changing Ideas, 2008, Well-Tech 2006 Innovation Technology Award, "Gadgets for Disaster Zones" BBC May, 2011.
