Terramar is proud to be able to contribute to a program of acquiring and installing eco-stoves in the communities surrounding our project. The eco-stove effectively diverts smoke from in house cooking fires to outside of the house. The result is a reduction in asthma and emphysema that effects women and children in homes with open fires. In addition to the health benefits, the stoves use half the wood of an open fire, resulting is less deforestation. We will be providing 2 of these stoves for each lot sold.
UPDATE: Nov. 25th, 2006.......We have recently installed the first combination bio water filter and eco stove in the caretakers home on the ranch. Below are some pictures. We plan for it to be the litmus test for the first of many such installations.
