Ebaldina Jesus Santiago, 35, with her daugher, Dariana, 8, outside their home at Aldeia Marcação Kiriri, near Ribeira do Pombal, Bahia, Brazil, on Tuesday, April 12, 2016. The family uses a bigester that converts cow manure into energy. t takes five kilos of cow manure plus 15 liters of water, and two hours later, there is gas for 24 hours. "Before it cost us $50 reals a month to buy gas, now we can buy other things."
