      Or maybe they could promote the growing of leguminous trees that
      grow eight
      feet in a year, replenish the soil and then can be used for
      firewood. (Saw
      it in the economist a few months back)



We started the tree project with the charcoal ladies in the north,
coaching
them on planting in rotation so they can harvest the smaller branches in
rotation, they can plant them around someone's garden, given them proper
patchy
shade for the garden, the leaves fall and fertilize -- win, win for
everyone.
