Its goal is to increase the standard of living for the developing world. Typical appropriate technology inventions require fewer resources than daily necessities, and use low cost or readily available materials wherever possible. ]]> 2021-10-14 00:23:11 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1815432297 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1815468748 Life Straw is an object made by Denmark's Vestergarde Fransen(베스터가르드프랑센) Group after 10 years of research.]]> 2021-10-14 00:39:44 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1815468748 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1815504272  Lifestraw is the idea of Danish entrepreneur Mikel Vestergard Fransen. The reason why this life straw was created is that it reflects its management philosophy that "a company that develops good technology makes good money" as it is. 
 The straw was designed for people in underdeveloped African countries suffering from typhoid and cholera due to contaminated drinking water from the time of production.
For these achievements and reasons, not only international relief agencies such as Safe the Children and UNICEF, but also domestic non-governmental organizations (NGOs) are purchasing these straws and distributing them to underdeveloped countries.production.]]> 2021-10-14 00:55:01 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1815504272 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1818611963 With no moving parts and no chemicals, it forces the water through a series of hollow, micro fibers less that .2 microns across which filter out any bacteria, parasites, dirt, and other junk you don’t want to consume.]]> 2021-10-15 02:10:50 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1818611963 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1818617017 This lifestraw effectively filters out microbes that are fatal to humans and removes 99.9% of bacteria and converts them into drinking water. In addition, I think it is important because the water such as Africa is not clean and is of great help to countries with water shortages because it is simple to drink with a straw at a contaminated drinking water source.]]> 2021-10-15 02:13:02 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1818617017 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1818619262 However, this lifestyle has a big problem. It is an appropriate technology, so it is sold to developing countries such as Africa, and the price is 25,000 won, which is too expensive for Africans. Therefore, murder occurred in Africa to get this lifestyle. Also, Lifestraw is expensive and cannot be used permanently.Therefore, these problems eventually led to the use of camping supplies.]]> 2021-10-15 02:13:59 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1818619262 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1818658687 2021-10-15 02:31:17 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1818658687 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1818665694 When it comes to the developing country, we usually think of poor people with poor living standards. And 9 of 10 cases matches with our thoughts. Most of them don't even have drinking water to clear their dry throats. I sincerely believe that appropriate technologies can help those people in need. A mere help with such a tool will be a great hand for sure.]]> 2021-10-15 02:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1818665694 https://padlet.com/LEEDONGHU/cns2yprsxde7yv5p1645023693/wish/1833818360 The reason why I think this technology is important is that more than 1 billion people in the world suffer from diseases because of drinking water without going through any water purification process, and there is a way to solve the disease.
