6 Degrees Of Me

Yea. It’s been a while.

I stumbled upon an article that referenced 10 devices that changed the world in the 2000s.  For the most part they were electronic/mechanical in nature: iPods, Kindles, the Prius, etc etc.  But one device caught my eye:

The Lifestraw gives people access to potable water in areas where they normally wouldn’t have it.  The filter supposedly lasts for an entire year (now that I think about it I might replace my Brita with one of these things — that sucker’s filter only lasts about 27 days).

But honestly I wish I could buy a bajillion of these devices.  Here I was, worrying about my retirement plan & the future of the economy & this one site reminded me that there are millions of folks out there that can’t get a sip of water when they need it.

I’ve never urged folks to donate before but one of these devices costs 7 bucks.  Why not spend 15 bucks to provide clean water to 2 people for 1 year instead of getting smashed on an extra couple Ketel One & Tonics this New Years’?
