It costs just $50 for Solar Cookers International to provide a solar CooKit to one of the neediest families on earth. Each Cookit includes essential training, a cooker, a cooking pot and a water indicator to tell when deadly microbes have been removed from drinking water. Solar cooking emits zero carbon, and it reduces the desperate need to continually gather and burn wood in deforested environments. It has been estimated that one solar cookit can reduce the emission of more than one ton of the most toxic, global-warming “black carbon” per year.
