Works great! And he sleeps like a, well, a baby, once we get to the motel.IWoodMon, 17 Mar 2008 04:27:55 -0000http://ohgizmo.disqus.com/we8217re_giving_away_an_acer_aspire_one_netbook/#comment-4414309Globulon entry thingumbob activated and so forth!!!!!!IWoodMon, 15 Dec 2008 14:56:58 -0000http://treehuggercomments.disqus.com/lifestraw_thirsty_suck_it_up/#comment-17484380<p>When I first saw this on Treehugger in 2005 [http://www.treehugger.com/files/2005/08/life_straw_all.php], the claim was $2 for a year's use. Now it's $3 for, possibly, a couple of months?</p><br><br><p>Late last year I contacted Thomas Soerensen, Vestergaard Frandsen's Regional Director, to work out a sponsorship deal for my cross-country cycling trip (no money for me: pledged donations per mile would buy Lifestraws, setting up an "X-miles pedaled=clean water for X number of people thing), but nothing came of it.</p><br><br><p>Great concept, but what's the deal, here? Does it work as advertised? And what of the 100,000 people who are being used to "field test" it? Is it less effective, or even ineffective, at the end of its possibly questionable lifespan? If so, are people using it in unsafe water sources after it has become ineffective?</p>IWoodFri, 13 Oct 2006 00:23:05 -0000
