Since 2017, SF Innovations has worked to promote technologies and products which protect the environment and build resilience to climate change. These range from the use of Haybox Thermal Cookers to reduce the use of fossil fuels during cooking to harnessing Solar Power, with small off-grid systems and jam jar led lights.
PROJECTS
In 2018 we launched a project with the EMACE Foundation of Sri Lanka to manufacture and supply 50 each of Solar and Haybox Cookers to low income families. SF provided all the funding while EMACE organised the manufacture of the cookers locally, identified suitable recipients and provided training and literature. In 2019 we went out to work with local charities.
Solar Powered Lights
In the last couple of years, we have supplied a large number of solar powered lights for use by families with no mains power. We continue to supply these.
WORKSHOPS
Over the last 7 years we have used talks and workshops to promote various energy saving technologies. Some of these have been in association with the Environment Centre at St. Nicks, York and others at various festivals - Green Gathering, Radical Bakers and Festival of Thrift to name a few. During the lockdown years, we used Zoom workshops to reach hundreds of attendees around the UK as well as worldwide.
