The Lifesaver: Bringing Drinkable Water to the Entire World

Having access to drinkable water is not only a concern of Third World nations in far-flung regions of the world. In nearly any war-torn area or region beset by cataclysmic destruction (i.e. New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina), the availability of drinkable water in sufficient quantities becomes a paramount survival concern. Thanks to innovations such as the LIFESAVER, the world's first all-in-one ultra filtration water bottle, drinkable water is now accessible to any region of the world:

"It will remove bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi and all other microbiological waterborne pathogens without using chemicals like iodine or chlorine which leave a distinctive foul taste. Winner of countless design and product awards, the LIFESAVER bottle dispenses the need for tablets, boiling, chemicals, tubes, shaking, scrubbing, waiting or effort. The LIFESAVER bottle could be one of the most important designs this century so far."

Also be sure to check out the LifeStraw, which drew kudos from both designers and humanitarians after its introduction in 2007. In February of this year, the LifeStraw won the Saatchi & Saatchi Award for World Changing Ideas.
