We are looking for a volunteer who can lead efforts to create partnerships with tea/coffee estates.**Description of project**
Objective of the project is to identify coffee and tea plantations in India, Laos, Nepal, or East/West Africa that would like to parter with us to disseminate Prakti cookstoves among their workers living on their estate. Details at www.prakti.in
In order to do that, one needs to
i) Conduct research to identify relevant coffee and tea plantations (location, size, type of crop, etc),
ii) Determine the contact information of decision makers, and
iii) Make contact to discuss the opportunity.
The project entails both research as well as conversations with the prospective partners to forge the partnership.
This project is critical for our organization to scale our efforts to deploy Prakti Air cookstoves in the developing world. We have successfully conducted pilots of Prakti Air where we have received amazing feedback. Our next step is to deploy these cookstoves at scale at tea and coffee estates. By doing so we will be positively impacting the health of cooks (mostly women, children), saving them time (in gathering wood, in cooking), reducing their expenses, and reducing release of toxic gases in the atmosphere.

Forest Fire Risk Prevention Derivatives in Northern California
Bobby Fishkin, lead author
In 2018, Sacramento was named the ""the Most Polluted City on Earth"" due to ""smoke from Camp Fire,"" This proposal aims to prevent that from happening again through adopting a systemic approach and collaborating with stakeholders to actively prevent future such events. The insurance industry, along with institutional chief risk officers, have begun to recognize the importance of moving from ""loss compensation to loss prevention.""
CrowdDoing and Project Heather propose launching a prevention derivative with two new stakeholders: (a) contingent payers who pay in proportion to the reduction in risk, and (b) impact investors who finance social innovations in which their return is similarly proportional to the reduction in risk. It will build on existing precedents for contingent contracts involving social- innovation-based risk prevention.

Biophilia mechanisms- Theory Knowledge Analyst- Nature CounterExtensive research has shown that immersion in nature has multiple positive benefits for individuals that can result in positive impacts on organizations and institutions. These include greater focus, productivity, creativity and sense of wellbeing; stronger social ties and immunities; improved self-esteem; and lower stress, anxiety, and blood pressure. Nature is often disregarded and heedlessly damaged by commercial actors such as banks and real estate developers in pursuit of profit; however, if these actors understood more about how nature can affect their employees, they would recognize that preserving nature and encouraging people to spend time in nature could actually increase the profitability of their ventures. Despite the fact that immersion in nature is a proven way to increase public health, individual focus and productivity, and general learning and wellbeing, it is not embraced by institutions as a tool to achieve these goals.
Nature Counter by CrowdDoing is seeking virtual volunteers to help us to help everyone living in cities and suburbs to get enough nature dose to achieve their productivity, mental health and wellbeing goals.. Learn much more than you ever knew you could know about ""forest bathing"", ""attention restoration theory"", ""eco-therapy"", ""biophelia"", ""nature deficit disorder reduction"", ""contextual nootropics"" and so much more! #mentalhealth#wellbeing#virtualvolunteering#reactjs#iphoneapp#androidapp, #sustainability#hiking#outdoors
