Solar Cooking
Register

One Earth Designs (OED) seeks to encourage communities to pursue their unique vision of local sustainable development through science/engineering education, design, and infrastructure development as well as through innovative income generation strategies.

OED's short-term goal is to develop holistic and sustainable solutions to community voiced problems through collaborative design and community capacity building. Its long-term goal is for the communities we work with to gain the skills and sustainable access to resources that enable them to confidently tackle problems without our help.

Collaborating with villagers from western China, OED have developed an innovative solar design that incorporates cooking, heating, and electricity generating functionalities.

By addressing the villagers concerns about fuel collection and current solar cooker design, OED aims to reduce the time needed for collecting fuel. This allows for alternative economic activities and increased education for women. In addition, pollution due to fuel combustion will be reduced, improving health and productivity.
