The pervasive poverty of the third world is unfortunately a reality growing. In these few years innovations have focused on the poorest areas of the earth . However, a small step was taken. I do not fear denials in defining this object, the LifeStraw, fundamental invention and generally one of the most important the last hundred years. One sixth of the world's population lacks access to safe drinking water and about half of the third world suffer from diseases caused by this problem. 6,000 people, mostly children, die every day . Lifestraw was invented to change that. E '25cm long by 29mm diameter and is composed mainly plastic. The sale price is very low. About $ 2 per unit. Lifestraw is a low-cost tool to filter out most bacteria such as impure water salmonella, la shigella, l'enterococco e lo stafilococco. Non richiede energia elettrica e ogni "pezzo" può filtrare fino a 700 litri d'acqua prima di diventare inefficace. LifeStraw può prevenire malattie come il tifo, il colera, la diarrea e la dissenteria.
Henry Ford diceva che " non c'è vera innovazione se non è alla
portata di tutti ".
Questo oggetto lo è.
