Water Of Life

Culture Shock

Available for over a year

In the developing world, one person in six still doesn't have access to safe drinking water. A Danish man has come up with a device called the Life Straw to try and reduce this statistic. Alan Mortenssen, director of the company producing the straw, discusses its potential. Also on the programme: Are you a 'mini-preneur' - the name coined by a Dutch thinktank for the vast army of consumers turning entrepreneurs. And how to make money from the place where you park your car.
