For anyone living where the water is less than fresh (like, most of the rest of world), there is a new miracle technology. It's a small packet filled with water purifying chemicals. Pour it in your water, and BAM, healthy drinking water. It's Procter & Gamble's PuR Purifier of Water, and in clinical studies it reduced diarrhea by anywhere from 50% to 90%. Can you imagine what the under-developed world would be capable of with 90% less diarrhea? It's astounding. But seriously, like the LifeStraw, PUR Purifier of Water should be a boon to the millions of people for whom clean water is a non-existent luxury.
