The Drinkable Book

This book provides water that is safe to drink.

This book has pages that your can tear out and use as a filter to drink water. The pages are coated with silver nanoparticles, that kill 99.9% of bacteria, make it healthier than other water. There is two filters on a page, and each filter can be used for about 30 days worth of clean water. That means that each book is about 4 years worth of clean water! The book costs only pennies to produce, making it the cheapest water filter by far of 2014. They are doing field runs now, and hope for it to be released by 2015. Their next field run is Haiti, educating, teaching and helping people learn about safe water. Their goal is to have less people die from contaminated water.

I choose this story because I feel it is really cool and will be revolutionary, changing the era of drinking water. If you would like to learn more, check out their web site at: http://www.waterislife.com/media/videos/index.php?id=8.
