HOW IT WORKS…
Your Subscription’s Impact
Your TWP Untonne Plan will fund clean cooking projects and cut emissions equal to all or part of the average American’s carbon footprint. In addition, TWP’s projects restore degraded lands and sequester emissions already in the atmosphere.
By using natural ecosystems to draw down emissions, TWP aims to restore habitat for all life too.
Stoves Lower Emissions
Across the globe, about 2.5 billion people use an inefficient and unventilated wood or charcoal stove for cooking, which is a leading cause of premature death in developing countries and a significant source of greenhouse gas emissions.
By signing up for TWP’s Untonne program, we help fund clean cooking projects that cut indoor air and climate pollution creating a double win: immediate health and safety benefits for families in need, and less greenhouse gas emissions that contribute to climate change.
WHY PARTNER WITH US…
At TWP, we want to not only solve climate change for the next generation, but do it in a way that supports people with the least resources to adapt to climate change.
TWP’s cookstoves produce high-quality carbon emission reductions that have co-benefits like reducing women and children’s exposure to toxic air right in their own home.
We seek to restore ecosystems and create wildlife habitat with reforestation projects that draw down emissions we’ve already released.
We’re here to answer all your questions.
-
When you sign up with TWP’s Untonne Program, we fund clean cooking projects in developing countries. Clean cooking projects reduce the amount of firewood required to cook and reduce resulting emissions.
-
Around the world, about 2.5 billion people still rely on the equivalent of a campfire for cooking, using fuel like wood or charcoal. When a fuel efficient cookstove is installed, it can reduce fuel use by 50%. The fuel and emissions reductions from these stove installations are measured in labs and in the field, allowing TWP to confidently quantify emissions reductions equal to or greater than your purchase.
-
A carbon offset is a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions or an increase in carbon storage equal to one metric tonne of carbon dioxide emissions. In the case of clean cookstoves, the emissions reduction can vary based on fuel type and stove type. As an example, a typical cook stove installation has an emissions saving benefit of 10 metric tonnes (or 10 carbon offsets) or greater over a five year period.

YES! Trees, Water & People is a registered 501(c)(3) organization and will send you a tax deduction statement at the end of every year. In 2026 individuals taking the standard deduction can also deduct $1,000 in charitable contributions and couples can deduct up to $2,000.
-
To solve climate change, we are advocates of an “all of the above” strategy. Climate change won’t be solved just by clean cook stoves or just by solar panels or just by electric vehicles - it will take a comprehensive approach to keep our planet within a 1.5 degree temperature change, as recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. TWP provides an easy solution to making a big impact to reduce carbon emissions today, but we would still urge you to take actions to directly lower your emissions and advocate for climate friendly policy at all levels of government.
-
Every stove that TWP installs has a real impact on the lives of the people who receive them in their homes. Because the stoves have been tested in a lab and the field to show emissions reductions, and ongoing stove use and performance is monitored, TWP can demonstrate how emissions reductions happen with each stove.
Breathing smoke from burning firewood and spending money every day to obtain it was part of the daily life of Eula Ortéz, a 71-year-old housewife from the community of Bañaderos, Teupasenti, El Paraíso.
