From Solar Cooking

(Redirected from Celestino Rodrigues Ruivo)

After my participation on the Granada Conference on July 2006 I became "well contaminated with the virus of solar cooking". Before I did not use solar cookers. I was a little ceptic. Along the last year I have tried to disseminate solar cooking, first in my region (at home, schools, restaurants, beachs, media) but also in other regions and in other countries (Brasil and Spain). My participation on the Granada was the needed ignition to start. I have started with the solar cookit that Margaret gave to me. Then a lot experiences were done with different solar types of solar cookers, most of them of low cost apparatus using recycled materials. During this lats days 90% of my meals are cooked on solar cookers. It was very intense and entusiast activity. There somethings that did not run well. I'm a very tired but I will try to "contaminate" others with "this solar cooking virus" on next year. It is not easy.

Many thanks for all of speakers on Granada conference and specially for Pedro Serrano.

On of the last interesting reportages will be on the air next wednesday. A short preview video about renewable energy (almost solar cooking in a field with 70 scouths) is avalaible on SBS TV (Australia) on the programa DATELINE:
