She has cooked in smoke her entire life.

Her eyes burn, her throat hurts, and every day she fears getting sick just for feeding her family.

In the communities surrounding the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, thousands of women live this same reality.
Children breathe that same smoke, get too close to the fire and, sometimes, they get burned.

No mother should risk her life to cook.
No child should grow up breathing smoke and playing next to open flames.

Through Brick by Brick, we are building 1,400 Patsari stoves, keeping the tradition of cooking with wood alive, but without the smoke that harms families and puts lives at risk.

🧱 Each brick costs only $6 MXN ($0.38 USD), and each stove means a life.

20 years cooking in smoke.

20 years with irritated eyes, coughing, and living with the fear that the same fire feeding her family could cost her life.

In the communities surrounding the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve, thousands of women still cook this way, surrounded by smoke every day.

No one should risk their life just to prepare a meal.

Through Brick by Brick, we aim to build 1,400 Patsari stoves, which honor the tradition of cooking with wood but without the smoke that makes women sick and puts their lives at risk.

🧱 Each brick costs just $6 MXN ($0.38 USD), and each stove means a life.

Today is giving Tuesday! 🧱💚 Brick by Brick, we build life with just $6.00 pesos ($0.38 USD).

Cooking is an act of love, but for thousands of rural women, that act can cost them their health and, many times, their lives.

The smoke from open-fire stoves fills their homes, coats their pots with soot, and leaves scars on their lungs.

At ECOLIFE, we transform that fire through Patsari stoves, which honor the tradition of cooking with wood but without the smoke that makes families sick.

This , we invite you to be part of the change.

💚 Our goal: 56,000 bricks, at $6 pesos each ($0.38 USD), to build 1,400 Patsari stoves and change 1,400 lives.

With just one brick, you can help build a cleaner and safer home.

Across the country, millions of families are facing growing food insecurity, but change begins when communities come together.

At ECOLIFE’s Aquaponics Innovation Center, we’re proving that it’s possible to feed people and heal the planet at the same time.

Our sustainable systems use 90% less water than traditional farming and produce fresh, chemical-free vegetables that are donated to local food programs and families in need. 🌿

Every harvest is more than food, it’s a step toward climate resilience, dignity, and food justice for all.

Join us in building solutions that nourish both people and the planet. 💚

As millions of Americans experience reductions in SNAP benefits, access to fresh and healthy food is becoming increasingly out of reach for families in need.

At ECOLIFE Conservation, our aquaponics systems grow and donate thousands of pounds of fresh produce each year, helping close the gap for those most affected.

By combining sustainable agriculture with community care, we’re working to ensure that nutritious food remains a right, not a privilege, reaching the people who need it most. 🌱

We were thrilled to partner with our friends at Burgeon Beer 🍻 for their 5-course food and beer pairing in San Diego. ECOLIFE donated fresh produce 🥬 from the Aquaponics Innovation Center for several of the night’s dishes, creating a perfect pairing of sustainability and quality.

Together, we’re proving that good food and good beer can also do good for the planet. 💚

Last month we took a trip!🌱
Every field trip reminds us why we do what we do. On this occasion, we visited beneficiary families to hear their stories and see the 150 Patsari stoves built thanks to the support of .mx in action. Amidst the landscapes, transformed homes, and the work of our team, we confirm that together we are bringing health, clean air, and well being to communities. 💚
