Amy Smith TED talk: Simple designs that could save millions of childrens' lives

I found it amazing how she with the help of students, were able to take waste products and turn them into usable fuel alternatives. The development was a very difficult trial and error procedure that took lots of research and refining in order to create an alternative to charcoal that is just as effective. Her hard work and clever use of waste products may help improve the quality of life for not only for the people, but also help protect the remaining environment. Her struggle with how to improve the quality of life are not something that just effects other countries, but the world as a whole. With every tree that is wasted, or for every opportunity that is passed by, we are only further destroying our world. She did a wonderful job showing how hard work and dedication can help improve the quality of life and protect the environment.

After reading your post it got me interested about this talk. I think it would be so much more efficent for people if we could find other sources of fuel. Gasoline for everything is so expensive these days. Its like you work all week and you use half your money in gas! Alternative fuel solutions would be an extremely great burden off peoples shoulders.
