In Chad’s capital, workers toil in heat,
Moving between machines, covered in soot.
Yet the charcoal they make is “green.”
It offers hope amid rising deforestation.
Supporters see it as a solution.
Chad, home to 19 million people,
Sits between North and Central Africa.
The landlocked nation faces advancing desert.
Forests vanish under growing pressure daily.
Green charcoal may help slow the loss.
