Incredible Lifesaving Straw

There are over 1 billion people on earth without access to clean drinking water. A company from Denmark has now introduced a revolutionary device that could help these people clean water easily and cheaply. The LifeStraw is a portable water purifier "offering relief from common diarrhoeal diseases – and can be carried around for easy access to safe and clean drinking water."
The LifeStraw is only 31cm long and 2.5cm wide and requires no electricity or replacement parts. Each 'straw' can purify at least 700 liters of water and only cost $3.
