Prove a Point || Turn on the Tap / Water Solidarity

Would you walk to your local river or pond to prove a point for your friends? One in eight people on the planet do not have a choice - they do it to survive. Visit http://www.turnonthetap.org.au to check out how refilling a bottle can give safe water to some of the 884m people in need... For more info: http://www.turnonthetap.org.au

What about rainwater tanks too! Ive lived in rural areas of Australia that depends on rainwater.

[SamaritansPurseANZ]

@darkat3 We install rainwater tanks as well - just not covered in this video... we often do this with the schools that we build - this means that at least 500 school children and the surrounding community will benefit...

Wow, you can fit like $300 in a bottle of water. Thats like $50 per filter.

I bet you could get them mass-produced in China for $5 each.

[SamaritansPurseANZ]

Brother... when we tested filling a 600 ml bottle with gold coins it added up to double that - $600! The water filters cost us $100 each and are built locally working with the community and local resources...

Good initiative & charity. It''s great to see people helping others.

With that tapecutter and the response he has posted kinda sux. He's another person who has been sold a chemical and a lie.

There are various ways of treating water, chemicals are just one option.

If tapecutter likes his chlorine so much, just add a few scoops for extra flavor.

Same goes to the fools who have been sold the fluoride deal. If u like yr chemicals, you eat or drink them.

I doubt anyone in melbourne would drink yarra water, that stuff is terribly polluted.

We advance by helping each-other, less poverty=less war=more trade=more for everyone.

You don't. You can go down to your nearest river, pond, dam or puddle and fill up containers of water for your own use, for free.

It was ALMOST inconceivable, ER, that someone could possibly find fault with what was being done by the Samaritans. You've set new standards in peevishness. Unbelievable.
