At first, I thought the Lifestraw was great. Under certain circumstances, it is. But the lifestraw is only good for producing water to DRINK at the source of the filthy water. People need water for washing clothes and dishes, bathing, sanitizing surgery tools, mopping floors, cooling engines, baptizing people, and various <br>other purposes. Also, people often need to get water from where nature puts it to where <br>people need it (upstairs, classrooms, offices, bathrooms...) The lifestraw does not help to transport water, which is heavy stuff. Who wants to hang out at a polluted lake all day, sipping water through a straw? People have better things to do! Why stagnate by a lake, or walk with filthy water when you can roll, maximize efficiency, be productive, use less energy, and reduce the scarcity of clean water all at once? </p>threemovesWed, 27 Jan 2010 01:43:18 -0000http://www.ohgizmo.com/2008/10/10/save-time-money-and-the-world-with-the-aquaduct-biketrike/#comment-2977937<p>Eh...seems extremely costly and very difficult to mass produce.</p><p>The LifeStraw seems like a MUCH better idea:</p><p><a href="http://www.vestergaard-frandsen.com/lifestraw.htm" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://www.vestergaard-frandsen.com/lifestraw.htm">http://www.vestergaard-fran...</a></p>RobFri, 10 Oct 2008 08:17:26 -0000
