Access to clean water is one of the most pressing problems the
developing world faces at the best of times. In the video above
you can see an amazing British solution for disaster zones. At
over £100 a bottle to produce 6,000 litres it is expensive now.
If DfID only spent a small bit of their multi-billion budget on
this in readiness for the next disaster, instead of on filming
videos of Dougie Alexander watched by a dozen people,* it would
save countless lives. It would also drastically reduce the unit
cost with large scale production runs. This amazing LifeSaver
bottle can literally put clean pure water in the hands of
disaster victims as fast as a cargo-plane can fly to the
disaster zone. The bottle was developed by one British
entrepreneur, Michael Pritchard, using nano-technology and
without a single penny of state subsidy. Capitalism works… *Why
is DfID wasting money producing videos of Dougie Alexander in
Bangladesh wishing “Happy Ramadan“ (at the time of publishing
this) to all of 12 viewers? Hat-tip
