Kenyan inventor creates $5 solar oven to help stem climate change

From CNN.com via NewsFire. Money quote, from the inventor: ""I don't want to see another 80-year-old woman carrying 20 kilos of firewood on her back. Maybe we don't have to." And yes, I've passed it on to the Songbird in Nairobi.

WOW!!!

I want one! Any idea of how it's made?

The article tells you how it's made -- one cardboard box inside another, with black paint lining the inside of one and silver foil inside the other. A factory in Nairobi is the only one mentioned making them, and no contact info is given. I'll ask Mary to see if she can find out how to order them.

That sounds almost simple enough to possibly figure out how to make one yourself.

I think I can put together a couple of cardboard boxes. :)

Every once in a while I have hopes for this 21st century thing.
