  • The folks over at Plus Minus Solar designed the Solar Pebble to replace kerosene lamps that are widely used in the developing world.
    In the poorest regions of the world, exposure to kerosene kills one person every 20 seconds. That's why we're really impressed with the folks over at Plus Minus Solar who've designed their Solar Pebble to replace kerosene lamps which are widely used in rural Africa. Kerosene is expensive and highly toxic and eliminating the use of it is a huge mission for humanitarian designers. This little solar wonder is a great alternative. Its small, portable, inexpensive and can provide light as well as charge small electronic devices.

  • Solar and wind power are great alternatives to kerosene but are often large and not portable.
