Water Generator

It is an odd quirk that we humans have. We feel that it is easier to throw technology and natural resources towards a problem than for us to change our behavior. Because cleaning up our acts in terms of how we use and steward water seems beyond us, we get solutions like this which basically captures humidity, filters it, and serves it up. I suspect that it works pretty much like a dehumidifier and burns up a bunch of electricity in the process. How is this "the best thing to come down the road for our environment?"

The best thing for the environment would be for all of us to start treating all waters as valuable commodities rather than vehicles for diluting our toxic byproducts, carrying away our wastes, and targets for our non-point pollution. We do that and we stand a way better chance of not having to purchase a wasteful product such as this.
