    <p>Hello all,</p>
    <p>  FYI, I have also been involved in these Clean Cookstove
      conversations for many years -- through the "Discussion of biomass
      cooking stoves", which is a <i>global</i> conversation.</p>
    <p> I agree with Peter: "<span style="mso-fareast-language:EN-US">imposition
        of so-called <i>better technology</i> comes across as a <u>colonization</u>
        of long-standing and well-adapted cooking practices</span>".</p>
    <p>  <i>Cultural context</i> matters -- a lot!</p>
    <p> Any "interventions" should only be done if it is <u><i>REQUESTED
          by the community itself</i></u>... otherwise attempts at
      "imposing" solutions will very likely be simply abandoned after a
      very short period of time ~ especially if the (imposed)
      "Solution(s)" end up being more costly or complex than the
      existing methods.</p>
    <p> The most likely "intervention" method would simply be to go to
      these communities, show them various "alternative" ways of cooking
      (such as by pelleting and/or using certain types of "waste" that
      may be readily available in those communities -- such as <i>rice
        husks</i> in Vietnam -- and which can be used in alternative
      clean cookstoves that behave very much like modern [gas]
      cookstoves, and then simply demonstrate and teach them how to use
      the new stoves.</p>
    <p> Beyond that you can't "force" them to change anything...
      especially if their diets include cooked foods that get much of
      their flavour from smoke and charcoal etc.</p>
    <p> It would be like asking a guy who loves <b>Smoked Meat</b> to
      "stop using wood"!<br>

               Indigenous cultures and slum-dwellers are not likely

              indoors with charcoal and risk pulmonary disease for their

              – not all – locations because of cultural practice, AND
              simple constraints – such as, many subsistence diets, they
              cook beans or other simmering foods that use up liquid
              fuels quickly. These stoves might double the cost of
