Start a foundation, club, weblog to increase dissemination of fans for ventilation to 167 million rural families in India, as well as many millions more in other parts of the world.<br /><br />I will support it in any way I can. I will contribute money. I will evangelize. I will contact all my former clients in the high tech industry, many of whom are Asian. I will beat every climate blogger over the head until they come out in strong support of it.<br /><br />For a variety of reasons I cannot spearhead such an initiative. But I will support it.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12747117922597525042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-25175432109942588642015-03-25T15:35:20.874-04:002015-03-25T15:35:20.874-04:00Many issues in fooding.

Hill tribes in Thailand, for instance, have to contend with nighttime temps in the 30s and 40s F.<br /><br />However, you can find by Googling instructables and such building such fans for less than $10. There's no reason a simple all-in-one solution couldn't be made for $10 or less. I'd suspect much less.anthrosciguyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02192669356363848169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-25028927933933628782015-03-25T12:39:33.038-04:002015-03-25T12:39:33.038-04:00Lots of cooking happens at night and pre-dawn.

My own composting toilet uses a simple computer fan as a standard component, and they can be bought new for as little as $7, and probably less. And there are generations of old boxes kicking around the world - I'm sure that African ingenuity could easily adapt these to provide some utility in this area.Bernard J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16299073166371273808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-82897150209942465212015-03-24T22:38:05.788-04:002015-03-24T22:38:05.788-04:00Eli has been known to frequent pubs, bars and dry ...Eli has been known to frequent pubs, bars and dry cleaning establishments in the distant past.EliRabetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07957002964638398767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16612221.post-90436335628876730012015-03-24T22:30:48.118-04:002015-03-24T22:30:48.118-04:00Is Eli suggesting that he is prepared to expose th...Is Eli suggesting that he is prepared to expose the innocent to the existential threat of not completely solving the problem of indoor exposure to pneumotoxic and carcinogenic combustion and thermal decomposition products from vegetable matter exposed to heat?<br /><br />Is he suggesting people should be voluntarily allowed to congregate in such places , and even , gasp, work there ?<br /><br />Such flagrant unsciencyness must be outed and punished, lest its scariness lead to overcrowded safe spaces and give former vice presidents the vapors.THE CLIMATE WARShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02578106673226403151noreply@blogger.com
