The World Health Organization estimates that indoor air pollution contributes to 4.3 million premature deaths per year in developing nations. The toxic air is coming from meals cooked over open fires and crude stoves. Jacob Moss is a senior adviser at the Environmental Protection Agency, and led creation of the Cookstoves Initiatives, which is designed to bring cleaner fuels and more efficient stoves to the developing world. For that he is a finalist for the 2015 Service to America Medals. He joined the Federal Drive with Tom Temin to explain how the project got off the ground.
