Or in other words, we like to work on biomass cooking stoves because they have the potential to solve both health and environmental problems. When they are done well, efficient cooking stoves can be a solid asset to people who are working to improve the quality of life for people overall, and these include health, environmental and social factors. We used to just talk about skirt fires and pneumonia, and now we regularly talk about the health of the planet. I think that as a community we have really stepped forward and started meeting the technical challenges of really helping each other and the environment as a whole.
And now that I'm reminded of that, has anyone on the list been working on the problem of eliminating the black smoke from kerosene lanterns? Tammi Bond challenged us to do that at ETHOS in March. She was saying that if we found a way to modify those cheap lanterns, and spread the fix around relatively quickly, we could remove a major aggravator of health, air and climate problems.
