Solar Cookers work towards all of these goals
Examples:
- reduce indoor air pollution and childhood asthma
- reduce production of greenhouse gasses
- preserve trees and bushes
- give people more free time -- because they don't have to gather wood -- allows people more time for cash producing activities and education
- can pasteurize water
- reduce rapes -- as women aren't out gathering wood
- basic solar cookers are very cheap and easy to transport
- people can often build their own solar cookers (reflector plus black pot)
- reduce cost -- pays for itself, if people are buying fuel
