LifeStraw has helped 1 MILLION CHILDREN Receive Clean Drinking Water! #LifeStraw1Million

We tend to take our water quality for granted, but there are millions around the world that need products like LifeStraw to keep healthy with clean drinking water.

About the LifeStraw Play:

The LifeStraw Play Kids’ Water Filter Bottle with 2-Stage Integrated Filter Straw is the first water filter bottle designed especially for children.  LifeStraw Play, a children’s water bottle that not only provides clean water for your child, but also for children in communities in need, clearly a win-win.  Kid-sized, leakproof bottle measures 2.5 x 7 inches, holds 10 ounces of water, and weighs 3.8 ounces, making it easy for smaller hands to use and carry at home, school, or team sports practice, as well as during outdoor activities and travel. It’s easy to fill the bottle by scooping water from lakes, rivers, streams, or contaminated urban water sources. And kids don’t need to know or do anything special to make the filter work!

Durable, safe, and easy to clean, the bottle is manufactured from FDA approved materials, including food-grade silicone, and BPA and BPO-free Triton. Each bottle includes a choice of themed personalization discs which can be affixed to the lid. The LifeStraw Play Kids’ Water Filter Bottle is an easy and reliable way to ensure access to clean and safe drinking water at home, school, while traveling or outdoors, and in emergency situations.

The bottle is ideal for everyday use, at school and for travel abroad, giving parents peace of mind knowing that their child always has access to clean water. It also provides an eco-friendly alternative to purchasing plastic water bottles on the go. For every LifeStraw Play purchased, one child in a community in need receives clean drinking water for an entire school year through the brand’s doing good initiatives. On March 2nd, LifeStraw celebrated an incredible milestone – LifeStraw has helped 1 MILLION CHILDREN receive access to clean drinking water, with the The LifeStraw team in Kenya to celebrate this achievement.

How Does it Work?

Filtration occurs while water is sipped through the 2-stage integrated filter straw.

1. The first stage of filtration features a replaceable hollow fiber membrane microbiological filter which filters to 0.2 microns, and removes 99.999999 percent of waterborne bacteria, and 99.999 percent of waterborne protozoan parasites, from up to 1,000 gallons (4,000 liters) of water.
2. The second stage of filtration puts water through a replaceable activated carbon capsule, which reduces organic chemical matter (pesticides, herbicides, VOCs), exceeds the NSF-42 standard for chlorine reduction, and improves taste for up to 26 gallons (100 liters) of water.

 

My thoughts:

My hubby has been wanting a LifeStraw for a long time.  I couldn’t really imagine just sticking a straw into some water and drinking.  Now that LifeStraw has created the Water Bottles with 2-stage filtration, we were very excited to try them.  Not only are they perfect for my son to take to school- no more yucky water fountain taste, but they are great for our Disaster Preparedness Supplies.

The LifeStraw Go water bottle is the perfect addition to any family’s “Bug Out Bag.”  It removes 99.9999% of waterborne bacteria, and 99.9% of waterborne protozoan parasites without chemicals, iodine or batteries.  It’s a durable, 23-ounce, leak-proof bottle made of BPA-free Tritan and features a food-grade silicone mouthpiece.  The LifeStraw Play bottles hold 10 ounces and are the perfect size for kids, but adults need a larger bottle.

 

My favorite thing about LifeStraw is that I can make a difference! Buying a LifeStraw bottle gives a child safe drinking water for an entire year!  LifeStraw has helped 1 MILLION CHILDREN receive access to clean drinking water- how amazing is that!
