Background
Almost 3 billion people use polluting, inefficient stoves and open fires to cook their food
![Page 3: Gigaton Kids Project](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062513/554e2c2cb4c90571798b5498/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Hurts Families
Fine particles lodge deep in the lungs
Kills 3 million women and children
More deaths than malaria

Hurts the Community
Trees are cut
Soil erodes

Soot heats the air
Lands on snow and glaciers
Hurts the Planet

Kerosene Lamps Make the Situation Worse
About 1 ½ billion people use kerosene lamps
Creates more soot and carcinogens
Dangerous
I was born in a village where there were no tap water and electricity. I was using kerosene lamps to study at night. They are very convenient, but also very polluting. You have red eyes very quickly and black nose.
