Fuel-efficient cooking stove
Previously the local community use traditional stove. That stove was not economical at all. This stove need more fuel and they use wood and the dry seedlings for their cooking purpose. Fire and heat were not fully utilized in it. It is very harmful for the environment for its excess emission of carbon and heat relies. It is also a cause of the destruction of the mangrove trees and reduces the natural regeneration process of Sundarbans. This local Stove need more time to cook.
BEDS introduce the Fuel-efficient cooking stoves among 300 households Under Eco Village Project. We also provide a high quality pipe to each of our beneficiaries, as pipe is the main reason why the ICS doesn’t sustain in the long run. We arranged ICS making training for each village. In all those trainings, the trainer showed them how to make ICS and how to take care of it. Now they can make and use the ICS at their houses which is very environment friendly.

The Sundarbans are enlisted as UNESCO World Heritage Sites This jungle is also well known for its biodiversity and its different type of ecology. More than 200,000 visitors come to the Sundarbans every year to observe this magical beauty.

Ecovillage is the concept where people will sustain by using limited resources to get maximum benefits. it's the sustainable approach for the people living near the Sundarbans. Due to the global climate change and sea level rising the remote and adjacent area of Sundarbans and its people always suffer for fresh drinking water. Moreover, being the tourist attractive area, the tourist can’t not get the safe and fresh drinking water.
In this situation BEDS has been working for establishing the Ecovillage concept int he Dacope region. BEDS introduced renewable system Solar powered RO based Save drinking water service. for getting save drinking water for the year round. The drinking water service system itself is a sustainable approach where villagers will get water with small token of money. Even local entrepreneurship developed based on the door-to-door water service system for the villagers. This approach can be replicated more places near the Sundarbans.
