Without even simple electrical devices there is no access to vital information such as radio programs about farming techniques, flood warnings or loca

5、l news. Practical Action is a development charity with a difference. The simplest ideas can have the most profound life-changing effect on poor people around the world. We hope to develop simple technology to fight poverty and transform their lives for the better. In Peru where millions of people do

6、 not have electricity, weve installed micro hydro schemes (微型水电系统) bringing clean, renewable power to people. In developing countries many solar applications on the market are often not affordable or accessible. Practical Action has developed a low-cost solar lantern designed to make this source of

7、energy more accessible to farmers like Havier. In Kenya, Practical Action field staff talked to the Masai to identify the social and health problems associated with kitchen smoke which kills more people than malaria. We worked with communities to build and install more efficient cooking stoves with

8、smoke hoods. They not only improve peoples house by reducing smoke levels by 80%, but they also reduce drudgery, save money, and increase peoples comfort. Our successful work helps to ensure people are no longer condemned to a life of poverty. Communities are becoming healthier and they are discover

Using renewable energy through simple schemes can and already does give people a way out of poverty forever.Speaking2 1 The challenges in shif

10、ting from non-renewable to renewable energy include not only energy technologies but also the change of social systems and lifestyles. The dominant patterns of life, both individual and institutional, which have existed for about 200 years in developed countries, will need to change.2 Its all the ti

11、me not easy to change a habit, both for individuals and for society, especially when it has already lasted for hundreds of years. It must be a fundamental change that needs a huge investment of time, effort and money from both governments and individuals. For example, now we have about 800 million m

12、otor vehicles in the world and the vast majority of them are burning oil. Changing all vehicles into new-energy ones is apparently a really difficult task which requires the support of technologies, policies, capitals, and of course, people.3 Energy povertyEnergy poverty is lack of access to modern

13、energy services. It refers to the situation of large numbers of people in developing countries and some people in developed countries whose well-being is negatively affected by very low consumption of energy, use of dirty or polluting fuels, and excessive time spent collecting fuel to meet basic nee

14、ds. It is inversely related to access to modern energy services, although improving access is only one factor in efforts to reduce energy poverty.According to International Energy Agency, nearly 1.1 billion people still have no access to electricity. As a result of this situation, a new UN initiativ
