Certainly a change from handing out depleted uranium shells. (Please don't take this personally or be offended. I am just highly skeptical about the military.) Why is army presence a prerequisite for handing out these things to the population?

Wow! This is great. How new is it? Any idea where its being used? How does it work?

Thanks Raja,

How do people know when the chemicals in straw are used up and no longer working?

That is absolutely amazing Joseph. It's nice to see the military continuing to step up with the Humanitarian mission in Africa. Keep up the good work.

Semper Fi.

@Guido Heumer-- Military presence isn't a pre requisite it happened to be that we were there at the time and someone asked us to hand them out along with the food and medical aide we were supplying or supporting.

The new lifestraws have a red tab that changes color as the filter becomes bad.

Great innovation created cheaply. I think this is what the evoke network is all about.

Thanks Jake! It was a great Idea. Again I dont like to take credit for it, and it is an old and improved on invention isnce 2008 but given this weeks Mission I thought it appropriate.
