As the demand for firewood and charcoal has grown in Malawi, there is increased pressure put on the surrounding natural resources. To address this issue that is amplified by climate change, Andrew Chikaoneka proposes a solution that would replace firewood and charcoal with briquettes made from waste material. As part of his solution, Chikaoneka would train 300 youths from 10 schools in environmental conservation while providing economic and social empowerment.
