Brilliantly presented but really upsetting once you get to know that this is a thing that was actually invented: http://edition.cnn.com/2009/tech/04/09/solar.oven.global.warming/index.html. It is called a Kyoto Box and has even received some awards for being eco-friendly. As stated in the article the inventor says: “In the West, we cook with electricity, so it’s easy to ignore this problem. But half the world’s population is still living in a stone age. The only way for them to cook is to make a fire.”
…so instead of helping to provide those people with electricity a cardboard box for $5 gets distributed to them. How backward is that?
