180.works

180.WORKS SOLUTIONS: FUEL EFFICIENT COOKSTOVES We install wood-efficient cookstoves in local communities. Households have a cleaner cookstove that saves up to 67%. This decreases the amount of firewood used for cooking thus slowing down the cutting of trees. The cookstoves are installed by local 180.works trainers. Via long range WPLAN technology a... nd use of our IoT Bluetooth temperature sensors, we monitor usage. The data ensure an accountable reduction of carbon emissions. We continuously monitor and share our data with our partners to increase our impact. TREE FARMS 180.works is planting sustainable fast-growing trees on a large scale in Malawi which are exclusively meant for the use of firewood and the use of timber to build houses and make furniture. This will prevent further loss of existing forests. Our tree farms are strategically located in close proximity where 180.works is engaged with local communities. We involve local communities to manage, maintain and create income via our 180 tree farms. NATURAL FOREST REGENERATION Via our foundation, 180.earth we regenerate forests. In collaboration with the Government of Malawi, we manage the natural reforestation of up to 80 forests, covering 1 million hectares. We use a proven approach called Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration (FMNR), a regreening technique that involves actively managing the regrowth from living stumps, roots and seedlings in degraded forests. 180.earth manages and protects the forests long-term. It is proven that forests has a self healing process and our approach ensures that human interference will be minimized; no more illegal harvesting of timber and firewoodRead More
