Dow Corning has committed $5 million to the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves’ efforts to create a global marketplace for clean and efficient household cooking solutions. As the Alliance celebrates its one-year anniversary, Dow Corning’s donation — the largest contribution of unrestricted funds pledged to date — will enable the Alliance to significantly ramp up its global efforts to prevent millions of deaths per year — and millions more sicknesses and injuries — from exposure to toxic smoke from cooking and heating with traditional cookstoves or open fires. Dow Corning is also dedicating technical and human resources to the project. Dow Corning will work with the Alliance to explore how to improve the quality of stoves, as well as how to lower the cost of production to make the stoves more affordable to families.
