2.3 billion people rely on polluting cooking methods, sparking call for eco-friendly alternatives
Globally, 2.3 billion people depend on polluting methods, such as open fires or inefficient stoves, to cook their food, harming health, the climate, and the environment. Unsustainable harvesting of wood for fuel not only contributes to forest and environmental degradation but is also a major driver of climate change. To address this, the government and various organizations are calling for the adoption of eco-friendly alternatives, such as clean cooking technologies like briquettes. Today, we look at how briquettes are part of the climate solution.
