Meshers, this one is serious. Kenya’s KOKO has shut down after a carbon credit dispute with the government. For many wakulima wadogo, KOKO wasn’t a luxury — it was survival. Bioethanol fuel and stoves were affordable only because of carbon credit support. Now the reality: LPG is almost 10× more expensive Many households will fall back to charcoal (health risks, indoor pollution) Kerosene (costly and dirty) Or struggle to afford cooking gas This isn’t just about a company shutting down. It’s about clean energy becoming unaffordable for the hustler. Mesh is about solutions that work for the common mwananchi. When such systems collapse, it’s the hustler who pays the price.
