next morning. Barbara and her partner Sherry Cole are two amazing women who developed the solar box cooker in their own back yards in the 1970’s. Their efforts grew into Solar Cookers International, a non-profit volunteer organization, which shares knowledge about solar cookers in other parts of the world. Solar cookers not only can cook food, but also can purify water and sterilize medical instruments, thereby saving lives and improving the quality of life for many. Meeting these two women (now in their 80’s) who started it all and continue to work in the area of solar cooking and sustainable living was inspirational, to say the least. The Global SEED workshop, one of 5, was videotaped and is envisioned for global distribution. The leader of RFH R&S spoke on tape about the Roots & Shoots program, as well as about the reusable bag project the group undertook in spring 2005 for community outreach events.
