Introduction

In India, millions are affected by power cuts, do not have

access to clean water, or face health problems due to indoor-
smoke inhalation. Eco-friendly products, which remedy these
problems, are currently provided through non-profit agencies
or sold directly by the product designers. Rather than
endorsing any specific product, EcoLife believes that local
people, especially the poor, should have a choice in deciding
which products are right for them.

Our mission is to provide environmentally friendly

products to communities in order to improve the health
and sanitation of current living standards while reducing
carbon emissions.

The EcoLife store started as a Social Enterprise that was

officially launched as a project of the Auroville Village Action
Group (AVAG) at the end of October 2009. Its core activity is
trading eco-friendly products such as low-cost solar lights,
water filters, and smokeless stoves that improve the health
and sanitation of the current living standards of Indian
villagers while reducing carbon emissions. Its profits go back
to AVAG to finance its community development programs.

EcoLife strives to implement social change by providing

alternatives to traditional, harmful methods that afflict so
many of India’s poorest. If EcoLife products are adopted on a
mass level, the environmental (total carbon reduction), and
social benefits (increased economic productivity for EcoLife
Indian distributors and rural economies, health, education,
etc) are enormous.

Each poor household consumes 48 to 60 liters of

kerosene annually for their lighting needs. Over a five-
year period, one kerosene lamp releases one ton of
CO2 into the air, affecting environment and human
beings as well: indoor pollution is a definitive health
hazard. Kerosene is a major cause of fire accident as
well; around 2,5 millions including 350,000 children
suffer severe burns each year.

acquiring tenure to land. Other benefits include
communicating with distant family members, making it
easier to find employment opportunities, and having
more options during emergency situations.
