Cheap Cooker That Saves Lives

Here's an update on my post about black carbon.

The BBC has reported on a cooker that costs just £40 but can save lives, slow deforestation, protect glaciers, and reduce global warming.

This simple device reduces the smoke that ruins the health of millions of women every year, helps warm our atmosphere, and actually speeds up the melting of glaciers by making them imperceptibly darker.

And since it burns wood more efficiently, less demand is put on forests.

Rolling out cookers like this to the millions of familys that depend on wood and dung burning ovens, would transform their lives and help save the planet.
