Give Pur Water

I came across this and had to share it. Unsafe drinking water is a huge killer in the developing world. Proctor and Gamble have come up with new technology to make safe drinking water. Check out the video to see it in action.

You add powder to the dirty water (it is more like sludge in some cases) and stir for 5 minutes. Then strain the water with a cotton cloth and wait 30 minutes. The powder traps the dirt, parasites, viruses and other stuff. It all collects on the bottom.

This video is pretty dramatical, with the acoustic guitar being plucked and the soccer mom voice over. Watching the product in action, however, is pretty cool.



You can donate to the project or buy P&G products with special coupons and they will make a donation.
