Water filters and such
There is an interesting column entry on Grist's "Ask Umbra" today.

I hate to say it, but I never thought about what what type of material I was filtering my water with until I read this article. In an effort to steer clear of plastic, a reader wrote to Ask Umbra to see if there were any other solutions.

Here is a blip of what was said, but click here to read the full posting.
Dearest Kristopher,

The ceramic filter may be for you. I'm sure many of our lovely readers have one, and will write in with comments about the efficacy, longevity, and conversation-pieciness of the ceramic filter and its housing. Additionally, it appears that enterprising persons can learn to make these filters themselves, as have many persons in areas with poor drinking water."

This then led me to the website of Potters for Peace. "Potters for Peace has been developing a low-tech, low-cost, colloidal silver-enhanced ceramic water filter."

Pretty cool, huh?
