'Drinkable Book' - its pages can purify water

[Puffin13]

"A book with special pages has been developed by scientists to help people in third world countries drink clean, safe water.

All people need to do is tear out a page from the book and pour unsafe water through the paper.

The paper contains small amounts of silver and copper which act as a filter to remove dirt and germs."

I think this is awesome! Imagine the impact this could have on the world! Drinkable water for countries or areas of countries that do not have clean drinkable water. Could also be used for survival or on wilderness treks/outings.
I'm sure survival preppers would want a book or 2 also.

just think "solar still"

that's the problem with civilised people, they think everything civilised people do is a great idea.

as above, solar + couple hours.

the deal is, an effective method for redressing an issue
SHOULD NOT RELY ON A FINITE SUPPLY OF SHIT SOMEONE ELSE GIVES YOU

ever! why can't civilised people understand about creating dependence!


"great! silver and copper, use it once, toss it out!"

who the fuck thinks that is a good idea???!?!?!?!

do you know where silver and copper come from???

you may want to ask someone in west papua because they can tell you where silver and copper come from

i hope you have a wiser day

so remember, think once, think twice, think, fuck civilisation up the ass, because beign hooked on shit is a lifestyle for dead morons. western materialism is no different than crackheads.

Jeez,wtf is your problem wave?i did not want to see that.did you think for a second that everything is finite?dont post those pics without a warning label please. And by the way i think this book thing is very cool

you know what, mister finger pointer man, i bet none of them wanted to see that happen either


when was the last time you paid money for anything with copper, silver, gold, or iron in it?

when was the last time you paid for fucking chocolate, man? what is that, human beings for $30 a head?

of course you think the book is cool. you can own it. you win the prize.


i just told you the reason that shit happens. if you don't want to see it, think twice about the book, you know?

QED! it does make me sad! no one should have to see this, so stop with the books and shit!


fucking recreational purchasers, oh i need me a new whatever.

want to see the catholic school girl burned to ashes, but still on the same shape? you can even see that it was a catholic school skirt.

that's fucking sick, but that's the culture of shit, and we are the ones who want to own the shit.

 

[waveguide]

did you think for a second that everything is finite?

the back of that man's head looked pretty finite to me.


folkz is like: "now they got cable television in nepal, yaaay!"

 

[waveguide]

you know man i see these pictures daily, they're posted on my friends' walls as they happen.


folks is like: yaaaaay, business education for indigenous people!

freeport mcmoran are the folkz responsible for the grasberg mine, which is why they're macheteing the back of peoples' heads and putting them in ditches

it's insidious. not only do they want to kill you, they want to convert your descendants and get them doing the same shit that put you in a ditch.

shit is bad.

 

[shithawk420]

I agree alot with what your saying wave,but you should know better than anyone theres nothing we can do about it.were all slaves and i just dont like to be reminded of it like that.no offense

 

[waveguide]

i don't believe that, never will

i was part of "a small window of opportunity" in a field where for a couple years, "independent people" had an advantage (or, "the field was leveled") and had an effect on public expectations. true, it didn't last long, but it happened. like "lock the gate" movement in australia, which is causing real problems for mining companies.

sure enough though, i can only hope that when i come to do something like this, it's in a circumstance which isn't going to make eg. some veteran's day worse. there's enough pointless trouble in the world.

I just bought 3 copper flashlights and a big ol bag of Halloween candy. Not sure one bag will do.

a monkey could purify water I have a KATADAN water setup for camping..but could easily setup a filter in the field to purify gallons of water if needed...does the book make good toilet paper?????? yeehaw..maybe playboy should convert now that theres no more naked women in it...
