Indoor air pollution is a threat on people health. It is a threat for urbanized people, that spend 80% of their lives inside buildings with many chemicals pouring out from the walls and furnitures. It is an even more dangerous threat for children and women living in the country side, breathing the pollution produced by cooking stoves. This video is really encouraging, showing that 1 million lives a year could be saved, using simple, easy to transfer, ways of preparing cooking fuel.
TED is a conference happening every year in Monterey, California, bringing together thinkers and doers. Comments

What I can do
Living in China for the past several years I have come to realize that it is the drive for cheap Chinese manufactured products that is driving the Chinese economy. US business, looking to cut manufacturing cost have destroyed the manufacturing base of the US, opened a cheap labor force to use whatever methods are less expensive in order to maximize profits and are the direct contributors or both global destruction through warmer temptures as well as the errosion of the American economic base of manufacturing. If I want to do my small share, then each product that is stamped "Made In China" will be left at the store and go unpurchased. Each time I buy a Chinese made product, I am the one making the choice to keep the pollution growing and the US economy shrinking.
