S1 E1: Modern Cooking Fuels

Feb 1, 202426 min

3 billion people still use wood or biomass to cook their food and heat their homes. But these necessities come at a devastating cost: 3 million people die each year from breathing smoke. Dr. Scott Tinker visits Nepal, to see how they- like many countries- are transitioning to modern cooking fuels, and the many benefits these bring.

Cross Nepal with an environmental health scientist, studying people’s transition from the most dangerous cooking fuel, killing millions a year, to the safest. And bring solar electricity, for the first time ever, to the Arhuaco people of Northern Colombia.
