THINK BIG, CREATE WEALTH
“When you’re required to survive on less than
₦100 a day, you do have to be resourceful”
Cooking is one thing we do often at each
interval of the day, and which most of the time generally follows a common
ritual of basically three (3) times in a day.
Household cooking usually deals with the use
of kerosene cooking stoves or gas depending on individual choice and also
firewood which seem to be getting the highest patronage locally. All these
three (3) choices come with its delimitation ranging from cost to
Eco-hostility.
Our economy is such that we have to think
about other means of sustainability and improved cost of leaving. Commercial
use of sawdust briquettes is not a bad idea, for in Nigeria today at least
three (3) out of every five (5) homes patronizes firewood within a week. This
shouldn’t be the case as we can’t keep on falling our trees just for the sake
of cooking fuel. In addition to it is the never stable prize of kerosene and
cooking gas, which seem to always be at the increase.
However we can rule out in totality the
falling of trees in our environment, as these trees would definitely serve as
raw materials to the industries. Hence, we can best manage our timber for
industrial use only, and the waste (saw dust) we can package for cooking fuels.
As one with a head for business and a heart
for the world, I can say that the use of saw dust briquette as an alternative
to cooking fuel is very essential in such area which includes the following:
1. Use of briquette help to conserve
vegetal/natural wealth, less smoke with high combustion
2. Using fuel briquettes means less firewood
to collect and charcoal, kerosene to buy; this saves you time and money.
3. Briquettes mean less rubbish in the streets
and in dumps which will improve hygiene around the homes.
4. If you make your own briquettes from waste
materials you save time and money
5. You can make money from selling waste
materials for making briquettes, or from making and selling fuel briquettes
