Solar oven, sun powered oven, operation blessing, humanitarian design, green electronics, green appliancesInhabitat believes that sustainable design isn't just about what things are made of, but how they're made, how they function, and whose lives they improve now and in the future. Operation Blessing, a non-profit committed to "breaking the cycle of suffering" has taken the age-old technique of harnessing the sun's heat to cook food, and turned it into a viable design for off-the-grid, minimal-resource third-world demographics. In the Gansu Province of China, and soon in Darfur camps, the sun-powered parabolic solar oven allows the suffering and hungry to cleanly cook and boil water and without firewood, using only that always-renewable energy source: the sun. The oven's design is also a great example of using ancient technologies in modern ways to address social problems.1
