Build an EcoVillage to Save Our Mangrove Forest

Previously the local community use traditional stove. That stove was not economical at all. This stove need more fuel and they use wood and the dry seedlings for their cooking purpose. Fire and heat were not fully utilized in it. It is very harmful for the environment for its excess emission of carbon and heat relies. It is also a cause of the destruction of the mangrove trees and reduces the natural regeneration process of Sundarbans. This local Stove need more time to cook.

BEDS introduce the Fuel-efficient cooking stoves among 300 households Under Eco Village Project. We also provide a high quality pipe to each of our beneficiaries, as pipe is the main reason why the ICS doesn’t sustain in the long run. We arranged ICS making training for each village. In all those trainings, the trainer showed them how to make ICS and how to take care of it. Now they can make and use the ICS at their houses which is very environment friendly.
