<div>No one denies that designing stoves that impact human
health in a positive manner is important. But if we can
design stoves that meet goals relating to human health <u>and
</u>the environment, then it makes sense to do so. And it
make sense to discuss the design of such stoves on this
stove list. </div>

However, this Stoves Listserv is NOT for discussion / debate /
evangelizing about what are or are not those environmental issues
and their causes. Please take that discussion elsewhere.<br>
<br>
BUT please DO DISCUSS the DESIGN issues. There has been precious
little of discussion about DESIGN.<br>
<br>
Also note that there are so very many different environmental
situations (environments) that different designs could be beneficial
in one setting and be NOT relevant in another and perhaps even be
detrimental in some other context. <br>
<br>
An example could be where humid-climate wetlands produce abundant
reed/papyrus fuels (that can be harvested sustainably) in contrast
with a semi-arid environment where the few wetlands need to be
protected from reed-cutters. So a reed-burning stove could be good
in one place but undesirable in the other place. So let's design
great reed-burning stoves but not expect them to be adopted
everywhere. And design stoves for semi-arid environments so that
there is no need to cut the precious reeds.<br>
<br>
The last time I commented on the need to stay on Listserv topic
(stove design and use), I lost a good friend who read my comments as
an attack on the importance of environmental issues. Sorry about
that. Maybe I can reestablish productive dialog. But all should
note that I am just trying to say (and to agree with the list
moderators and many other readers) that we need to discuss stove
DESIGN and USE topics.<br>
