Four million people die every year from health problems that are caused by cooking with wood inside their homes. Now a Lesotho based company has invented a bio stove that cooks with clean fuel and doesn’t produce carcinogenic smoke. The stove also comes with a small solar panel with a USB port and DC plug to power small devices. Currently only available in Southern Africa, the smart stove will soon be sold internationally.
