Shot in Kenya in 2006, this film follows Margaret Owino, of Solar Cookers International in Nairobi, as she teaches refugees how to use solar cooking. Deforestation in Kenya has made the firewood and charcoal, that the refugees use to cook, incredibly scarce and expensive. The use of solar cooking helps prevent further deforestation and is cheaper than the limited and costly firewood. As SuNews in Kenya reports, "For millions of people living in dry, fuel scarce regions, solar cookers can literally save lives." (less)
