Cardboard Oven: An Eco-friendly Option
The oven is made up of two cardboard boxes that is placed one inside the other and an acrylic cover that traps the sun’s rays. The inner box was painted black while the outer box was wrapped with a silver foil that aids to centralize the heat. This heat was hot enough to boil water, cook casseroles and even bake bread. Actually, this isn’t the first attempt of man to create a solar-powered oven. There’s Barbara Kerr and Sherry Cole who first promoted the use of solar oven. Together with other people who believe in their advocacy put up a non-profit organization that they called Solar Cookers International way back 1987. Bohmer’s solar oven won recently in the FT Climate Change Challenge. This contest searched for the most innovative and practical ways on saving the earth from climate change. After beating about 300 hopeful inventions, he named his brainchild Kyoto Box. The name was taken from an international treaty that aims to reduce the effects of global warming. He spend about $5 and revolutionize it by creating a much cheaper version this time, using recycled plastic instead of cardboard as covers. He visions to see his cardboard ovens be distributed in rural areas preferably in Africa.
