For too many years people have been exploiting the environment, and now that it's time to take steps to correct all the problems we have created, people are turning a deaf ear. It's like when the government talks about cuts and everyone says, “That's a good idea, but don't cut anything that affects me!” Every year we pour millions of gallons of waste products into our existing fresh water resources and, if we think about it at all, we consider it the “other guy's” problem...

Unlike the good-old-days when kids headed for college with a suitcase, today's student needs more than just clothes.

There are a lot of occasions in life when people need portable water filters which can easily be transported to where they are needed. This can be on a hiking or camping trip, in the time of a natural disaster, or to eliminate the need to buy and dispose of plastic water bottles.
