A new stove that cuts down on fuel eases pressure on the environment.
Sometimes small innovations make a big impact. Like introducing a fuel-efficient stove in drought-prone rural areas. That’s the brainchild of the non-governmental organization Grass Roots Action for Social Participation (GRASP) based in Maharashtra, India.
The stove, which can even be bought on credit, is already popular – and fuel and wood consumption has halved in areas using it.
The New Internationalist is an independent bi-monthly not-for-profit magazine that reports on action for global justice. We believe in putting people before profit, in climate justice, tax justice, equality, social responsibility and human rights for all.
New Internationalist acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We acknowledge that these lands were stolen and sovereignty was never ceded. We pay our respects to Elders both past and present.
