Building a better cookstove for rural Tibet

End Date: Mar 31, 2013 12:00 AM

I\'m working with Tibetan Village Project to research, design and implement a more efficient cookstove for Tibetan families.

Many families cook over a stove or open fire that emits smoke straight into their house. The stove we will build will be designed to eliminate this smoke and improve the families health, use less fuel (wood and yak dung) and contribute less co2 to the atmosphere, and ideally be made of locally sourced materials.

The larger vision for this project is to build a business around the sale of the cookstove that is run for and by Tibetans.
