It's quite telling when those responding in the thread feel like access to water that won't make you die is something that is political. What happened to wanting better quality of life for people that exist outside one's immediate awareness? I don't understand why something looking like an advertisement campaign is necessarily a bad thing. Was there one particular product being advertised as the sole solution to the problem of poor access to safe water? Why is advertisement suddenly a dirty word? Is it being confused with 'commercialism' or 'consumerism' somehow?

Trying to make it look worse, how exactly? The counterargument using the cow urine example is pretty misleading, the bacterial load of urine is quite small, as opposed to fecal matter, which can contain up to HALF ITS WEIGHT in bacteria, and is a well-known vector for the transmission of pathogenic (non-beneficial, disease-causing) bacteria. I mean, does it look worse than say, the Ganges?

Aquaponic, here's a few other innovations in addition to the Life Straw that have been created: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/indepth_coverage/africa/design/index.html?type=flash

I can't speak on any other topic. But I think the case here is certain posters not being able to set aside disagreements from the past and moving forward.

Ah I see
 
What's significant about this link is that twitter is the most commonly used tool in regards to spreading info about sustainability. I have a twitter account and wine to water is one of my followers. I'm gonna Tweet this thread to Doc.

I also read somewhere that more people have in the world have cell phones than access to clean water.

Must only be the 2nd here, everythings fine. No twitter or face book either. Just MFK, lots of water and acess to a cell phone.
 
If we put as much effort into turning salt water to freshwater as we do other things we would have allot more water everywhere.

Every time they build an oil refinery in the UAE, they also build a Desalination Plant... Water is their second biggest export.
