Solar Oven Revolution!

really amazing and to think what these devices will be like in a few more years time... ...even better se!

Congrats on your way to TV. Very well put together. I wonder how long it takes to cook something with a solar oven... This kind of oven should be a big relieve for the women and children who have to walk miles to get wood.

Please let me know what you think about my pod "Keep Your Butts off the Beach" :link

Taking advantage of solar technology is extremely important to our future. The more the word gets out the better. Great subject matter that can make a difference!

Solar cookers are great! I taught elementary school kids how to construct them out of cardboard boxes, aluminum foil, heat-resistant plastic wrap, and glue. Total cost of one box was... free! Everything was either scrap or surplus school supplies. The children and teachers were amazed at the power of simple sunlight.

Great Idea!

Powerful and practical. Love and blessings to this project! Women shouldn't have to die of indoor air polution in order to feed their families. This is an elegant solution.

This is a prime example of how efficient solar power (not just photo-voltaic) can be and how its use can immediately impact our planet.

Interesting. Cheers on the GL. Pleasse check out my pod about "transfrancisco" link

Here comes the sun.

What a great project!!

I thought it was an interesting practical idea that was well presented.

Good informantive video.

Interesting and important piece. GL.

Please check out my Spanish Quiz pod.

Teach them how to MAKE the oven instead of SELLING it to they

Solar cooking is important in terms of poverty, nutrition, safety, women's time, health, and the environment. It needs to become a real option, especially for poor people in developing countries. I use a SHE-HotPot myself and have found it to be the best solar cooker I have tried, especially because with it I can cook five liters of food in a few hours. I hope that Solar Household Energy's entrepreneur-focused business model will make their HotPot available to help millions of families, and that this video will help spread the word.

I liked the subject

Great video, great technology. I use this oven on my roof in Washington DC.

Since it is going to cross people's mind's, you can cover what the alternatives are during a cloudy day.

totally agree

This is excellent. A solid concept- very inspirational.
Well put together and excellent images! GL I really think this should make TV.

Check mine out if you get a chance. Thanks!

De acuerdo!

Wow improve the lives of women AND cooking with sun....this can happen in so many underdeveloped areas.

Es una excelente opciòn para mejorar nuestra calidad de vida y al medio ambiente

Solar ovens are very necessary tools, particularly for populations in areas without electricity. In fact, such technology would be useful practiacally anywhere.

excellent work

GL. Good job. I hope you make it to the TV. Please check out my AD for L'Oreal it's called Don't Stop the Party.

This technology is a must for both the developed and developing world. Household energy is the area in which we can positively impact the most lives. Lets all push together to help spread this important resource.

seems like something we all should be using.

Best of luck and best wishes!

I think it is a very useful tool for both the developed and developing world.

Awesome pod! I didn't know anything about solar cooking and this was extremely educational. I think that if solar cooking became as popular as outdoor barbeque in the States that we could definately have an impact on the way others think and use fuel. Green Light & Kudos!

Vahid,

i liked it very much. i love the way the photos slowly pan in or out . beautifully shot and subtle music.

i would have liked some more info/stats at the very beginning to define the problem a little more though.

great job. I think that you should do a short film on HIV/AIDS in Washington, DC. let me know if this interests you.

I quite enjoyed the music and the fact that the doc presented what appears to be a very viable way for people in developing countries to cook without spending much money.

very great use of focusing in on these colorful parts of the world, the women, focusing on images that shows the great need for pushing forth with the solar cooknig project

This is great please do more on solar power especially for people in the U.S. to lean up off the grid.

Cheers.

Solar cooking will have the highest impact on fragile environments like the Sahel in Africa but will also positively impact on family health, child nutrition and many other aspects of rural and urban households in Africa.

Very interesting. The music is a little distracting.

This technology is amazing...have seen it at work and it deserves complete support from all of us...a real solution...thought for people that need it and can use it for the wellbeing of everyone...congratulations to Louise...

Great video

Vote for Solar cooker.

easy to use, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly - if there's anything that approaches infinity in resource it's the sun!! Great job!

Spectacular video. Great footage showing the food boiling & cooking. Beautiful visuals of women doing their work, gathering firewood, and more.

Congrats to Linda Myer and SHE. Great work.

Best Regards, Dennis Wagner

Great work Louise!

Important to highlight awareness of the awesome power and energy source of solar cooking. Thank You!

Day by day, three times a day, solar cooking can help save the planet! We need to support and spread the use of these solar cookers throughout the world, especially in poverty-stricken areas.

This is a great way to promote sustainability, especially in the Third World! Please include it in the line up.

informative video, great visuals, very important topic!

awesome video, great way to cook!!!

keep sharing the light...

alex

Great topic. Honestly, this is relevant to developed societies too. I had no idea this existed, so thank you for opening my eyes to a new alternative. Solid audio too always makes me smile. GL!

Great Film. Lovely lady. I didn't quite understand the last point that was made, the one about making solar cooking into a lucrative business...

good info, can't wait to tell all my friends

Wow, what a great way to help those in need and the environment at the same time.

I want to start solar cooking!
It looks efficient and fun, good job with the video, very simple and clear information.

I WOULD LOVE TO LEARN SOLAR COOKING

This is a very important subject and this video deserves wider dissemination. SHE is a great organization.

The video is very clear and informative. Thank you!

Mad props. Great content. You the man!

Greenlight.
The good:
1. Great subject matter; super-interesting topic.
2. Well-edited video and interview.
The not as good:
1. Too many still pics, and for long stretches at a time. I timed it -- 1minute, 26 seconds of still pics. Is it a slideshow or a video?
2. One interviewee, who also doubles up as the narrator. I thought there should be a few more people interviewed on the subject, and maybe a separate narrator.
3. The punctuation on the graphics and subtitles was poor. Who cares, right? It makes it easier to read when there's a comma or two in the right locations.

Very informative! It really exciting to see people working to improve the environment. Great production!

Friend of Mary Bartone's. My name is Jon Macht. She asked me to view your film. I really liked the film. Made it a very and topical and explained the problem and the solution and how to get others involved and worldwide implications. In 4 minutes! Impressive. Best of luck with this project.

Definite GL. Finally, some solutions for people and the planet. Interesting and important story. Well produced and edited with an encouraging tempo. More people should know about this topic and get involved for positive change. I like the varied shots and edits and the way the visuals tell the story, complementing the clear and concise audio. I'm glad I saw this. Now I want a solar cooker, too!

Vobbie.... I really enjoyed this. I didn't know you could get such solar cooking tools for cheap. Your project is quite insirational; whatever I can do to get your content on the air, let me know... I hope it motivates people. Excellent videography. Dope stuff. A Greenlight and 25 points for you! Please, take just a moment to return your review on my own CANCEPTUAL video, Vobbie. I would personally love your consent for TV. I could really use your expertise and approval.

I hope you can be fair and take the time to review mine also.

this is an interesting and important piece. GL!

oh, by the way, check out my pod, too and Gl it if you like it or leave some comments on how to make it better?:

Really brilliant. Wouldn't believe it but saw some solar cooking on "It's not easy gowing green" series on UK TV.
But they basically recycled materials like satellite TV dishes and painted them black with a kettle on top.
Even worked, though they had to wait some hours for having a cup of tea.

Isn't there any possibilities to recycle materials in the third world for solar cooking, too?

this is really interesting. The sun can be an excellent source of alternative energy in the developing world. GL. If you have a chance please check out my pods.

Vahid,
A magnificent piece... An enthusiastic GL.

Nice story, unique. I like the pod, and Greenlight it, but I think the photos section in the beginning goes on a little too long (even though it's paced nicely with the music, which I also like)... GL for story as always though...

Since you're a fellow DC resident, I know you won't mind taking a look at Give 'Em Belle! sometime... Cheers ;)

cool pod, amazing story and well produced,
