Saturday, February 21, TEO and TERAO (Office of Environmental Studies) gathered to launch the first carbon offset project : ovens sun in Morocco.
This is a cooking green, simple, very economical, without electricity or fossil. A solar oven allows a family to save every day 11 kg of wood for cooking his meals (ref. "View from Heaven" on FR2).
It also helps prevent desertification which usually takes place when the people cleared the land. This causes a degradation of vegetation to erosion of topsoil, which is the underlying rock exposed.
It is therefore imperative that residents have enough sunlight to benefit from high performance equipment.
TEO France now committed to train these people to teach them to create their own solar ovens using materials recycled.
This will both reduce costs and enhance the autonomy of the village and the local economy.
TERAO is empowered to make carbon footprint since June 28, 2008 and got a carbon footprint of its activities in 2008: the company's emissions are 62 tonnes of CO2 equivalent.
