A young chemist,Theresa Dankovich, has invented The Drinkable Book, a revolutionary solution to the problem of clean drinking water. Made with filter paper, the book can turn water contaminated by sewage into drinkable water comparable to tap water in the United States.
Just how big is this? “Across the world, 2.4 billion people don’t have proper sanitation, 663 million people don’t have access to clean drinking water and as many as 20% of deaths for children under the age of 5 are caused by water-related diseases,” reports Natasha Norman.
