We're just getting in amazing photos from the 350 EARTH event in South Africa. In Cape Town, The Canary Project and local citizens created an enormous Solar Sun out of 70 high powered parabolic solar cookers with the “rays” being on the ground tables where the local community will feast on traditional food made in the solar cookers.

After the event, the solar cookers will be donated to the Khayelitsha community of Cape Town where many people do not have access to electricity. Each high powered parabolic cooker lasts for 10 years and requires no fossil fuels, saving money for families while also protecting their health and the environment.
