Safe Water Today a project of the Los Angeles based Earth Rights Institute 501(c)3 was a participant along with about a half dozen other organizations in the water village at the Los Angeles Live Earth Event.  We focus on getting clean and safe water to those in need through the use of low cost low tech point of use Home Water Treatment Systems like the  "The Extremely Affordable Gravity Powered Tulip Siphon Filter" and the Ceramic Pot Filter. 

We brought both of these technologies to the event and it was a great opportunity to be able to get these simple and effective technologies out into the public eye.

As for the event, it was great, though for a city that is the size of Los Angeles it seemed to be only moderately attended.  Having said that, the participants seemed to be enjoying themselves, there was moderate traffic in the Water Village and the networking opportunities with other related NGOs were fabulous.

The entertainment selected was appealing to the attendees and it created a light and fun atmosphere. Plus it didn’t hurt that a day that started out being a bit nippy ended with lots of sunshine. For more information about our work and to see the Tulip Siphon Filter in action visit www.safewatertoday.org.
