[Stoves] Fwd: Dumaguete City, Philippines -- gasifier stoves, biochar, ecological sa nitation

[Cookswell Jikos]

Hi Huck -

While I am not sure about putting char into a toilet - I just heard about
these guys in Kenya making charcoal briquetts for cooking food out of human
waste... they are looking for 15,000 grand here -
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/sanivation-turning-poo-into-power I
imagine they will need a very, very good marketing team to convince folks
to cook on these though..
