The 2x3 Reduces Green House Gas Emissions

  • Smoky house Ceguaca, 2009.
  • Multiply this smoke by 700,000 homes.
  • View of dinner prep from the back yard.
  • This smoke from this chimney comes out under the eaves and then returns right back inside.
  • The stove is on all day long.
  • Spewing out smoke!
  • We've been trying to figure out what the hole on the side is for.
  • Toxic chemicals and lots of CO2 are going up in smoke.
  • This new La Justa emits far less CO2, CO and methane than a traditional stove.
  • Smoke is flowing out from under the eves.

Each  Dos por Tres stove has been validated to reduce CO2 emissions by 2.73 metric tons each year. Proyecto Mirador has built more than 25,000 stoves since inception in 2004.

When scaled up to thousands of stoves, these savings help offset the annual 2-6 tons of CO2 greenhouse gas emissions of each person in the developed world (WRI - World Resources Institute).  The WRI also states:  

In the medium and long term, a world-wide average emission rate of maximum 2 tons of carbon dioxide (CO2) per person per year must be targeted. This amount is now considered to be the maximum allowed quantity for sustainable living on earth.
