Learn about Wood-Conserving Stoves

Wood-conserving stoves are saving thousands of trees, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and greatly improving women and children's health in Central America. Utilizing up to 50% less wood as a “traditional” open pit fireplace and reducing the amount of smoke and black carbon in the homes, the wood-conserving stoves being implemented by SHI are a radical and healthy change.

"It's pretty clear that the agro-industrial complex is just as vulnerable and brittle as the too-big-to-fail banks. So figuring out what comes next--how to grow the food the world needs to eat  in a way that actually can last far into the future--is an essential task. SHI is on the front lines, and in the places that really matter."
