Solar Oven: Sustainable Living student project

http://www.mum.edu/sustainable_living/ Sustainable Living students at Maharishi University designed and built a solar oven from a 55-gallon drum.

Maharishi University of Management (MUM) offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the arts, sciences, business, and humanities. The University is accredited through the doctoral level by the Higher Learning Commission.

Founded in 1971 by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, the University features Consciousness-Based education to develop students' inner potential. All students and faculty practice the Transcendental Meditation technique, which extensive published research has found boosts learning ability, improves brain functioning, and reduces stress.

Maharishi University uses the block system in which each student takes one course at a time students report they learn more without the stress of taking 4-5 courses at once.

The University has a strong focus on sustainability and natural health, and serves organic vegetarian meals. The B.S. in Sustainable Living is MUM's most popular undergraduate major.

420 is the way to go. Also bamboo is a fast growing and very usable plant.

Are you retarted? You must be 10. If you are i'm sorry, iff not, learn common sence and know that if trees produce more o2 then the levels in the atmosphere will remain the same. A percentage dosn't change. Growing hemp is the best source of fuel, building material, oil and it grow quick. Peace out.

Trees don't grow in a day, but you can destroy thousands of them at the blink of an eye!

Some things that students could do is to work with the natural cycles, for example people worry about cutting down trees...why not grow trees like crops, you can then use the wood for fuel, the smoke from the wood is safer than any other fuel and it will make it so that plants will grow better. Plant food is CO2, Plant by product is O2. The more CO2 in the atmospher the more plants grow and produce O2.
