Ecological charcoal

The small machine above makes these round brickettes (charcoal) from vegetable waste. Charcoal is usually made from wood [ten pounds of wood to make a pound of charcoal] and is the most used cooking fuel. As a result, Haiti is almost completely deforested. We will be starting to make our own charcoal brickettes as we have much vegetable waste on the farm, it is cheaper and keeps us from contributing to the deforestation problem.
