Don Gould, Pure Water for All

When people ask Don Gould how he knows that his product works, he answers, “Because babies stop dying.”



As part of a social enterprise consortium, Gould, who is both a product designer and ceramicist, helped to design and deploy simple effect water filtration devices to the developing world.

He talks with Tim Zak, host of Globeshakers, about both the traditional production techniques and the new economy models for collaboration. Together, they can deliver life-saving solutions that are as robust as they are elegant.

So, why is water a problem?
