I just heard a very interesting story on the radio on the way home.
It focused on an invention ... a tricycle that can be used to hold unfiltered water and then filter the water while one pedals home...
The video of the invention is here:

You can also see it by clicking on the image, below.
I heard about it on a BBC radio program called Culture Shock. The
link to the show is here:

I think Evan would find this of great interest.
The inventors are looking to test the invention out in some areas of the world: Africa and China were mentioned!

brendan! think how much water you could have purified if you had pedalled from north to south!
actually, it looks like a great idea, except how to get enough bikes to make a difference. What does one bike cost? Maybe we could all chip in and buy one for Nemo. What do you think?
(first we have to get the family to read this blog!)adios for now, nsm
i haven't read the blog for a while. we're a bit overwhelmed here in hallowell with all the changes in our lives coming so fast. but this is great. I'll see what Evan thinks about getting one to Neno!
