Subject: Hazards of
open fire cooking
Respected ma’am,
The cover story of the previous edition of your magazine was
an eye opener! Women cooking on open fires are a common sight in our country.
Reading about the
various threats it poses to the women and the kids was shocking! Smoke from the
fires is definitely dangerous, we all knew about it. But the other harmful gases
emitted were definitely something to ponder upon. The article made me realise how difficult the
life of a rural poor woman is! Travelling all that distance to collect firewood
and settling for ill health!
India is a country
where poverty is rampant and the literacy levels are low. I believe that to
bring about a change it’s the youth who should be engaging in creating
awareness about the new fuels. Biogas is an amazing alternative for open fires.
It is one time investment, cheap and very effective! Plus it doesn’t require
for one to compromise with her health! It’s time we stop talking, writing and
reading about it. It’s time we get up and act!
I hope that this
article was an eye opener to a lot many people out there!s
Thanking You
Akshara Srivastava
