Environmental concerns were high on the minds of the engineers who developed the Survival Solar Oven. That’s why they make every effort to use recycled materials for manufacturing its components.
For example, the outer casing and interior collar of the two-pot solar box is made from used soda bottles. Salvaged aluminum printing plates are used in the liner, and recycled polyester film goes into the lid. This green technology makes your Survival Solar Oven the most eco-friendly of all solar cooking devices.
“For those tempted to purchase a solar cooker, we would recommend the Survival Solar Oven.” - Brian Dakss, CBS News, The Early Show |
