Each Page of This ‘Drinkable Book’ Is a Water Filter That Removes Deadly Bacteria

Drinking is fundamental.

With that thought in mind, DDB New York and Water Is Life have authored a Drinkable Book that not only educates at-risk populations on sanitation and hygiene, but also provides a means to purify contaminated water.

The pages are coated with microscopic particles of silver. When water passes through, more than 99 percent of harmful bacteria—like cholera, E. coli and typhoid—are destroyed, and the resulting liquid is safe to drink. Theresa Dankovich, a chemist, invented the paper. The text, printed in food-quality ink, provides basic safety information, such as reminders to keep trash and feces away from water supplies. The filter paper costs pennies to produce, and a single book can provide a person with drinkable water for up to four years.

DDB and Water Is Life have teamed up before on notable humanitarian efforts. These include an award-winning campaign that saw impoverished Haitians read actual tweets that people jokingly marked with the #FirstWorldProblems hashtag, and "Kenya Bucket List," which focused on what third-world kids hope to accomplish in their lives.

The Drinkable Book is a refreshingly creative (but practical) approach that marks a new chapter in combining communications with real-world action, a direction also championed by the Peruvian billboards that generate clean air and water.

Why China’s Tencent Already Has 120 People in Brazil for World Cup


China isn’t known as a hotbed of soccer super fans. But Chinese internet giant Tencent is betting that people nonetheless want to keep up-to-speed on the World Cup. So it’s planning a continuous blast of live match broadcasts; news and commentary; scores via app and instant messenger; social games; and interactive commentary on WeChat, the company’s hot social app.

To put things in perspective, Tencent already has more than 120 journalists, editors and photographers on the ground in Brazil. And the company has lined up sponsors including Nike, Toyota, Budweiser, Head & Shoulders and local beer brand Tsingtao, said Sophia Ong, Tencent’s GM for planning and implementation, in an interview.

China’s Tencent is the world’s fourth-largest internet company by market capitalization, after Google, Facebook and Amazon. Looking at its sweeping plans for the World Cup is a good way to get a feel for its ambitions and how varied its offerings are. It has a Hulu-like video service, products that resemble Instagram and Vine, instant messaging, and WeChat, a fast-growing all-in-one mobile app that has 355 million monthly active users. It plans to use all of those to reach Chinese users during the June 12-July 13 event.
