Well... Making New permanent soil, removing existing carbon from atmospherical cycle, while cooking without much smoke, might just be in need of publicity a lot more... and planet in need of people getting to know of how to do it themselves. Anila stoves and similar methods are being spread in Kenya... including some completely Do It Yourself methods, by otherwise untrained people using local materials ...
I have much enthusiasm... some energy... and almost zero cash... but then again, looking at Your resume, perhaps some cash could be summoned for such projects ?
So... Anyone else there on this list, with much enthusiasm... some more energy... and more cash summoning capabilities for getting some soil making ?
I can offer this set of Do It Yourself instructions... (actually it was made hoping it would catch on as basic script for doing these things in reality by ordinary people... but perhaps it could give some ideas, while explaining some points of what, why and how... and perhaps going through how to do it does not hurt either :)
