The Gail Project: We conducted special educational sessions for high-level executives for Gail Limited located in Filmcity Noda Uttar Pradesh 201301 India at Oxford University. Gail is the largest home cooking gas supplier in India. We trained them on how to develop solar energy the role of natural gas the advantages of participatory capitalism employee ownership conducting financial literacy training and creating entry level jobs for their low-income population. We also taught them ways to help their population move away from using wood dung and other types of dangerous fuel they may be using to cook with inside their homes. Through this process 610,000 lives are saved as consumers use the gas instead of other dangerous fuel sources.
