This week many people in the United States will be spending a fair amount of time laboring over elaborate meals, baking pies, roasting turkeys (or tofurkeys), and beating the lumps out of the gravy. In the developing world, they may not be celebrating Thanksgiving, but there's still news on the cooking front. Billions of people around the world cook with high-emissions methods. The fuel they use is dirty, expensive, and can be extremely labor-intensive, especially for girls and women. So where is the good news? Well, in 2010 Hillary Clinton announced the creation of a Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, a coalition of for-profit and nonprofit organizations working together to spread cleaner cooking to the developing world. Today we speak with Julie Greene, executive director of Solar Cookers International, one of the partners in the Global Alliance. They discuss her organization's work, some of the business models being used to advance cleaner cooking around the world, and how Shell Oil's foundation is sneaking fossil fuel into the clean cooking mix.
