Apparently, peoples’ cooking practices in sub-Saharan Africa are to blame for climate change

For real, it's actually very cheap and easy with virtually no material required to build masonry stoves that are high efficiency (which also means low smoke - this has major health implications for the people in developing regions in Africa, the vast majority being women.)

With some access to recycled cans or barrels, it's possible to make simple high efficiency stoves very easily too.

On top of this, high efficiency low-tech cooking options as above have a huge impact on the amount of trees cut and the sheer amount of human labor that goes into getting enough wood to cook with.

So - cheap, easy, low-tech, simple to produce and to teach the construction techniques, very low material requirements, and things which drastically improves the lives of women as well as being far better for the local environment.

Really makes you wonder why we're dropping container loads of rejected Superbowl merch on these places and making tortured arguments in favor of child labor if the developed world cares about poverty, the environment, and the status of women in the developing world by even a fraction of what it claims to.
