“. . .due to decreasing snowfall. . .” it says in the text above. So, only snow can naturally provide clean drinking water? Climate change is causing a reduction in the availability if clean drinking water? How about if people in these third world countries would quit urinating and defecating near their supply of drinking water?!

C’mon y’all. . .Repeat after me: “The sky is falling! The sky is falling! The sky is. . .”

Im sure its a great filter… but how do you make sure that the liquid in your puddle is 100% water?

I would like to see this on a bigger scale, maybe something that would filter enough water for a whole family with the individual devices used as a backup. I can see a real traffic jam at the old watering hole if everyone in the village has their own individual device trying to muscle their way to the bank. The negative aspect to the group filter would be keeping the water clean after its treated, but it would have to be better than nothing at all.

Well, Reaganomics was responsible for the massive economic growth in the late 1980s. Far from a failure. Increased tax receipts on lower overall tax rates. Increased aid overseas. Huge growth in personal charitable giving. Overall, a smashing success. Of course, that doesn’t mean that JoeSmo isn’t an ass, because he is.

Haha, look at the massively failed troll up there. Hilarious.

Anyways, yeah. This is a great product, I think. Very nice.

Say it ain’t so, JoeSmo. (Haha).

Hate to break it to you, but Reaganomics failed, you idiot.

This is a great invention, and should be distributed to the world population as needed. Sounds like something the UN should be buying by the ship load. It would even be great for emergency kits that every family should own.

It’s just a case of marketing. Show some pictures of women using the Life Straw to the men in those areas and they’ll save up to get their wife one.

Anyone can see it’s a good investment in the future.

Why all the pity for 3rd world nations? Screw them! If they want what others have let them demand it from their own people. Why do those with more have to cater to those accepting to be ruled by dictators and idiots? In today’s world if anyone only makes $3 a day then they deserve to drink sludge and urine. Robbing those with to help those with less is not the answer, it’s only a bandaid.
