Trees, Water & People and StoveTec are raising money to deliver clean-burning stoves to Haitians in need!

The two organizations have combined resources to get Rocket stoves to Haiti as soon as possible, with the first shipment of 432 stoves arriving tomorrow. These stoves burn up to 70% cleaner than the open fire, substantially reduce deforestation, and provide a healthier environment for cooks and their families. Since the devastating 7.0 earthquake hit two weeks ago, the need for fuel-efficient stoves in Haiti has elevated dramatically. With these stoves, Haitians will be able to sanitize water and provide hot meals to their families in a safe, efficient and healthy manner.

We are pleased to have the UN World Food Program distributing the first shipment of Rocket stoves for Trees, Water & People tomorrow, but we can’t stop there!

We have begun a joint fundraising drive to send a second shipment of StoveTec’s 2-door Charcoal/Firewood hybrid stoves to Haiti. Our goal is to fill a 20 foot container with 1,344 stoves. For only $20, you can provide a full service solution to a family in need, including the stove, transportation, warehousing, as well as stove placement and tracking. Please join us in this important cause! Please visit www.stovetec.net to learn more about StoveTec’s work. For more information about Trees, Water & People please visit www.treeswaterpeople.org.

   Hi!

   I’ve organized a Midcoast REFORESTATION project for Maine. We’ll be planting 700+ trees on Arbor day.

   This won’t help you; but I can get wood pellets fairly inexpensively and am negotiating for a wood pellet machine….Wood is something Maine has in great abundance.

   Can you burn wood pellets?
