Editor's Notes
- Demetrio shows off his green onions May 2011
- Filling bottles with organic pesticide in Membrillo Arriba February 2014.
- As another means of conserving trees and improving the health of participating families, SHI assists with the construction of wood-conserving stoves that use less than ½ the firewood of the traditional open fires in the home. They also direct the smoke out a chimney so family members do not suffer the effects of being in a smoke-filled room most of the day. The amount of smoke a woman breathes from an open fire in her kitchen is the equivalent of 8 packs of cigarettes per day.
