Forest cover around the developing world is disappearing at an alarming rate. With over 3 billion people in this world still cooking every meal over an open fire using wood or charcoal as their main fuel source, a future without change in that area looks bleak.

Paradigm’s efficient stove products reduce wood and charcoal consumption by 40 to 60% from their first day of use, mitigating the destruction of forest cover and bio diverse ecosystems in the developing world.
