Because the purifiers do not burn wood, charcoal or other source of fuel, this will reduce 13,000 tonnes of carbon emissions, thus protect the environment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Collaborating with \u201cWater and Life\u201d, KT&amp;G selected 300 elementary schools in the tobacco farming regions to receive the purifiers next March.<\/p>\n<p>The tobacco company was established over 100 years ago.<\/p>\n<p>The head teacher of Itundu primary school &#8211; which hosted the donation event &#8211; Ms Grace Komba (who attended the delivery ceremony) said as follows: \u201cI am very appreciative that KT&amp;G donations to our school.
