Dear friends of Sustainable Rural Life,
It’s been a busy few months. We’ve been working hard in Baja California Sur to offer solar hotpots and clean cookstoves to families, in partnership with the organization Niparajá.
Did you know that we use different types of cookstoves in different parts of Mexico? It’s important that the stoves fit in with the region’s culture; if they seem strange or different, our experience is that people tend to reject this new technology. Clean cookstoves need to blend in to ensure adoption. In Baja California Sur, the model we use is called Patsari.
We are also supporting the creation of standards for clean cookstoves that will provide guidelines for efficiency, emissions, durability, and safety. This goes hand-in-hand with a certification program that will validate the emissions reduced by organizations that implement clean cookstoves. These standards are important to ensure that the clean cookstoves different organizations build really are clean, and are helping the environment.
Please help us help more rural communities with a donation today.
Thank you for your continued support.
