Take a look at this photo of the deforestation near the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve in Mexico. At ECOLIFE, our goal is to reduce deforestation by providing stoves for made of bricks. By limiting deforestation, we are also working to save the butterfly reserve nearby. ⁠

Did you know that aquaponics are inspired by the nutrient flow and design of a lake or pond?If systems model themselves after nature and abundant biodiversity, they are more resistant to outside forces and self correct after perturbations. One happy system! 🐟 🌱 🌾 🌦 #ecolife

It's important to remember that lasting conservation begins and ends with people. That's why at ECOLIFE, we build stoves that enable locals to live healthier lives while reducing their impact on the natural environment. Stoves = safe meals = less wood! 🥘 😋

Did you know that aquaponics uses less than 90% water than conventional farming? The only water loss in this closed loop system is via absorbed water in the delicious fruits and veggies! Could aquaponics be the future of farming? 🍓 🌱 #aquaponics #garden #fruit #yum #gardening

This is all thanks to warmth, sunlight, and the fish! Nothing beats biting into a warm, sweet, and juicy tomato. Talk about some happy vines! 😍 🌱 🍅 #garden #tomato #farming

We have some great news! Our stove construction has resumed! Due to COVID-19, we took a pause on stove construction in order to keep both our builders and the local families safe. We have now found ways to keep everyone involved safe and healthy! #cookingsafety #stove #cooking
