Revision as of 20:36, 16 December 2013
Greenpop - Solar for Trees is a nonprofit organization conducting research using parabolic solar cookers in Livingstone, Zambia with a women's group called Solar Venture. They intend to encourage solar cooking by slowly breaking down barriers to behavior change and teaching children about solar power. The aim is to encourage local design and innovation around solar cooking.
They began teaching solar cooking in 2012, and have already taught 300 people to solar cook by spring 2013.
