<br>
We tried kickstarter
twice now. They turned down our request both times. Something about " not
in the scope of projects" and or "no projects which could be
considered charity" I was a bit floored. They will back video games and
other such important things, but not efforts to help clean up filthy air in
areas like Mongolia. We are pretty comfortable with patenting and selling our
stove where we can, and helping subsidize where we can. Of course we are open
to all suggestions.<br>
