Build a sustainable future.
Come to the Estufa Finca cookstove Workshop and be carbon negative.

Be the first in your neighborhood to build and BBQ on the Estufa Finca,
the

environmentally friendly, fuel efficient and carbon negative cook stove. It
not

only burns fuel 4-9 times longer than a traditional fire but improves the

environment with the charcoal you make an are able to put back into the
soil.

Join us Saturday, August 11, 2012 from 10am to 2pm at the former Viking
Fire

Foundry 4710 Ballard Avenue for our monthly gasification stove building
stove

building workshop. Build an Estufa Finca Biochar Farm Stove pioneered by
Art

Donnelly from Seachar.org. They have been working with these stoves for
years using

them to improve health and environmental problems in the third world. The
Estufs

Finca is a small, clean burning, almost smokeless stove.

These biostoves use an extremely efficient biomass gasification technology
that

produces clean heat and gas. The stoves produce 92% less particulate
emissions, 87%

less carbon dioxide while co-generating biochar. Biochar is a fine
-grained, porous

charcoal that can be used as a soil amendment and removes carbon from the
carbon

cycle that will not reach the atmosphere.

The stoves can be built with almost totally recycled materials; a recycled
linseed

oil can, corrugated tin roofing and a number 10 can.

Contact Donna Lawrence at seattlefirearts@gmail.com to register.
Workshop is $75 and classes are limited to the first 25 students.
So register today and start being carbon negative.
