"Community Cooker" : A practical Measure to reduce carbon Emmissions:

Kenyan designers have built a cooker that uses trash as fuel to feed the poor, provide hot water and destroy toxic waste, as well as curbing the destruction of woodlands...
While the prototype cooker, in Kibera's Laini Saba village, has been dogged by local squabbles, drought and design problems, it proved the idea worked. A tall chimney carries the once-choking fumes away and initial emissions tests have been favourable, Archer's firm says. Now the Kenyan Red Cross is preparing to install similar cookers in the Dadaab and Kakuma refugee camps near the Somali border, where cholera has already broken out this year, and at least one European aid organisation is looking at wide deployment.
This mirrors the highly successful Carbon Neutral's Fuel-efficient Cooking Stove project in Eritrea which is estimated to save 300,000 tons CO2e per year.
