Good Reasons to Heat With Wood

It's a Renewable Energy Resource
Renewable means you don't run out. Renewable means you don't deplete the earth's resources. Wood is energy from the sun, stored by the tree as it grows. When you burn wood you are releasin this stored energy. In the dark of winter, it's like having a bit of summer sun on you hearth.

No Global Warming
When fuels burn they releas carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas responsible for global warming. Burning fossil fules such as oil and natural gas is like pumping carbon dioxide from the centre of the earth into the atmosphere - - a one-way trip.

Trees absorb carbon dioxide as they grow. When wood burns, the carbon dioxide is released, only to be absorbed again by young trees. Because trees recycle carbon dioxide, woodburning just warms you, not the globe.
