I think this non-profit is pretty cool. They have drastically improved the lives of African women who used to risk their lives and waste many days looking for firewood or burning feces to cook, and so has the Aid For Africa, http://www.aidforafrica.org/member-charities/solar-cookers-international/ Solar cookers could also be built into the side of a home and used indoors! I am thinking of maybe getting or building one for my home to reduce our use of propane. We are mainly solar-powered but we have a gas range and a back up generator that run on propane and I really dislike that. This solar cooker could really help us out though there is a lot that it can't do. I still think it is interesting and worth looking into. Perhaps it is something that more of us could use.

Einstein said that we can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking used when we created them. "No significant human endeavour has ever been accomplished without passion. Science and technology by themselves aren't enough.
