Dear Richard, Gus and Michael et al.
Thank you for your positive responses to the idea of helping your biomass cookstove customers invest in a future source of woodfuel. We have been promoting the distribution of a free packet of multi-use tree seeds with each of our products sold.
We have found that while of course not everyone understands or is willing or able to invest in some type of forestry - many many of our customers appreciate the fact that when receiving a packet of tree seeds for them to grow a future source of charcoal and firewood (and timber etc) - it is a light bulb moment and as one person told me..''its like getting a free oil well when you buy a car.... but only much greener''.
I think that providing allied forestry inputs and information is a very easy and affordable CSR project that most reputable stove makers can and should be involved in.
I also find it very interesting to think about, when planting long to mature tree species, where will you and your stove project/business be in 20+ years - what changes in your markets, stove sizes, fuel types, foods and costs of alternative fuels can you imagine will be in play by then.
Here is a sample of the tree seed packets we distribute - this particular one is a highland farmers mix, a timber tree (Meru Oak) a fodder and fuel tree (lucena) and a fuel and forage tree (acacia). We (the Woodlands 2000 Trust) can produce them for you with your company's branding and logos for 80ksh each if anyone operating in East Africa is interested.
Many thanks
Teddy

tree seedling along with stoves and other activities is being done far
more widely than I realized. Have a lot to learn about this. Permit me to
try to piggy back on your experiences and Bobs (and others so involved, in this
list) when it comes to things to do with briquettes too.

going to continue to use woodfuel to cook and heat with in the future,
specifically charcoal and firewood - and even if its just for perhaps the
occasional Sunday BBQ in 2040, let alone everyday, woodfuel should be looked at
as one of many 'green' renewable energy options that compliment each other as
household energy sources.

- to me this opens a fascinating line of thought for integrating long term urban
planning options for cleaner enviroments, food and fuel production etc. in
cities like Nairobi - but basically it sounds like we all need to plant soooo
many more trees!

four $0.25c tree seedlings this year (stoves listserve card carrying members get
free tree seedlings from Cookswell Jikos if you are in Kenya) - I guarantee you,
it'll be one of the best non-direct cookstove investments you can make for your
kids while they tinker with stoves in 2040.

>>Hi all,

>>I was wondering what happens when all the people whos lives are saved add their demand on an already stressed environment. If 10,000 lives are saved that is 10,000 more mouths to feed and 10,000 more people cutting down forests. That's today, 20 years from now it will be even more as the saved children begin their own families, and in 40 years even more. I asked a friend about this and he, being a retired high school teacher, said that the stoves must be accompanied by education. Any thought on what education would be good?

>>>Hi everyone,
>>>
>>>A big confession: having tinkered with stoves for years, I never actually looked into the numbers of stove health impacts. I'm trying to fix that, and I hope you can help!
>>>
>>>I mean, yes, I can wave my hands about PM and CO and four million deaths!

>>>But how many deaths (or DALYs) do you avert per stove? Or per 10,000 stoves? Or per 100,000,000?

>>>I thought it would be an easy question to answer, but it's turning out to be quite tricky to even ballpark.
>>>
>>>Here is one interesting source. This is from the very recent webinar on Kirk Smith's HAPIT tool.
>>>
>>>http://www.cleancookstoves.org/resources_files/hapit-results-rwanda.pdf
>>>
>>>
>>>This report considers 25,000 households.
>>>If you provide all of those households a rocket stove, you save only 0.75 lives per year.

>>>If you take the GACC's target 100,000,000 households, that would mean
>>>
>>>0.75/25000*100000000 = 3,000 lives saved worldwide annually.
>>>
>>>
>>>What am I missing there? This seems so small.
>>>
>>>Some speculation:
>>>
>>>Kirk Smith mentions in the HAPIT webinar that even a small amount of PM2.5 is still harmful. Perhaps biomass stoves just don't get the number low enough?
>>>
>>>I think this would fit with the chart in the linked PDF that shows that stoves only reduce deaths by <5% for indoor air pollution. A few times in the HAPIT webinar, they mention "a lot of lives are still left on the table."
>>>
>>>This also seems to agree with something I found in Christian L'Orange's dissertation:

>>>
>>>
>>>Figure 33 shows that Envirofit G3300 stoves only have a 3% (or so) impact on "Adjusted Relative Risk" (of death)
>>>
>>>
>>>Please do not worry about hurting my feelings in correcting these numbers. Am I thinking about this the wrong way around? Have I punched the numbers in incorrectly?
>>>
>>>Also, I would be very interested to read more good papers on health impacts for stoves. It is all really quite interesting work. I feel bad that I didn't look at it sooner.
