About this video
An idea for improving access to drinking water can fit inside something the size of a straw. With LifeStraw, water passes through a membrane filter as a person drinks. The portable design featured here works without electricity or added chemicals.
The idea brings filtration into the act of drinking. Its small size makes the tool easy to carry, without needing an electricity supply. Filtration capabilities differ between models, so the features of the particular device matter when considering its intended use.
