The «NativeEnergy Hydraid BioSand Water Filter Programme Central America» aims to reduce
wood fuel consumption used for domestic / non-residential water treatment by introducing zero energy BioSand water filter technology to replace the use of boiling.
In 2005,
wood fuel consumption represented about 73 and 90 percent of wood removals in Asia and Africa, respectively.

While it is true that it is quite impossible to grow sufficient
wood to replace our present rate of fossil
fuel consumption (there just is not enough land available),
wood could be at least a part of the solution.

By allowing myself some flexibility with heating sources, I'm able to keep my
wood consumption down to a level that (I hope) will allow me to
fuel the stove primarily, maybe even totally, with downed
wood from my surrounding woodland.
