Biochar cook-stoves save lives and trees
Costa Rica  Health
Close to half of the world's population cooks on an open fire. The respiratory disease caused by the smoke from these fires is one of the leading causes of death in the developing world. The black carbon produced is a major contributor to climate change. SeaChar.Org has developed a stove that burns 90% cleaner and uses 50% less fuel than a traditional stove. Built locally from local materials, these stoves can also produce biochar, a valuable carbon-rich soil amendment as a by-product.
