Hi Andrew. Climate "discussions" aside, I wanted to elaborate on the implications of your observation about where" designing" is easier: I agree with you that it is easier to design anything "for someone" ( especially those less equipped to express their opinions and experiences, needs and resources)…... than to do it with them in their context…
My own experience tells me that the latter is the sticky part that few really want to get into and it's a huge part of determining whether or not ones best intentions stick or not. That sticky part makes really designing from within a good bit more challenging that simply designing a technical object and selling it here….

Stove design and use is on topic for [stoves] but there are other forums on which it is better to discuss world changing effects, important as they might be.
