A tragic part of history is when, based on pseudo-science, several populations were labelled "the last ones". Those who are "under developed". Those who are "backward".
In the humanitarian context, they are sometimes called the "bottom of the pyramid". Then, the "base" of the pyramid. The ones on the "last mile".
Who are these so-called last ones?
They are farmers, women, unemployed youths, refugees. All super skilled and far from being "last" in our hearts.
While rich cities debate the energy transition, communities are already living it because they have no other choice.
Those who never had access to the old system have no reason to cling to it. They skip straight to what works.
It means that breathing a clean air and access to forest are basic rights. Having the choice not to use polluting energy is also a right.
The energy transition will only work if everyone is included: from the DIYer to the NGO, from the local bakery to the school canteen.
At Lytefire, we build technology and we train people. Because solar heat is the tool and empowerment is the goal. ☀️
