Relying on sacks to beat the heat

BHUBANESWAR, India - Kumari Behera carefully folds a set of heavy brown jute sacks, stacking them in a corner of her small, windowless shack.

Splashed with water every two hours and arrayed on her tin roof, they have served as her air conditioning this summer - the only option available to cool her home in the face of increasingly brutal summer heat.

The 54-year-old is sure she'll need the sacks again next summer.
