| Affordable Biomass Stoves Fight Pollution in India |

The newly designed stoves reduce harmful emissions by as much as 80% - a significant percentage that will go a long way to improving not only air quality, but the quality of life of people who use the stoves. They’re less expensive to run because they use half the fuel of traditional stoves, while still using the same sources of fuel such as wood, crop waste and animal dung that the users typically burn. And the stoves have an added perk of speeding cooking time up by as much as 40%, which I'm sure is helpful to harried mothers. Cultural relativism was taken into consideration, with the new stoves adhering to the unique cooking methods of Indian women. The team will move on to other areas including Africa and Central and Envirofit as an organization goes beyond just stoves, fighting pollution in developing countries through fixing up two-stroke engines, and they’re working on cost-effectively retrofitting emissions-spewing two-stroke engines with direct injection technology. They’re starting up this endeavor with the Via GoodCleanTech, Envirofit

Simply unbelievable.
And this, "Wake up NORTH AMERICANS. THIS SHOULD BE NA 2.0 and SOLAR THERMAL" Sounds a lot like despotism to me. You willing to force others to take up your approach? Seriously, I'm asking. Hope you guys die cold...and in the dark.
