Concerned with the air quality and burning wood

My last partner encouraged me to become more environmentally conscious.

She was a vegan! Although I was never ready to go that far into the naturalistic mindset, she did have a lasting effect on how I guess about pollution in the world and society’s role with it.

Even global weather conditions change aside, the hordes of wrappers, empty bottles, and ciggarette buts that litter the edges of highways from coast to coast is enough reason to get sentimental about putting an end to rampant human pollution. I also used to guess highly of burning wood as a source of Winter time heat, however the scientific article she sent me on the damage from excess carbon dioxide in the air and the effects on the natural environment made me start to change my mind on the practice a bit. It’s certainally strenuous in my case—I was raised lower middle class in an old many study room farmapartment in rural Michigan. Even though most of us had propane gas heating systems to supplement, essentially all the people I knew up there burnt wood through a fireplace or woodstove as a primary source of heat in the Winter time season. It makes it even harder to pass up when you live on acres of wooded land and can come across numerous dried out dead trees within a stones throw of each other, supplying you with numerous cords of wood from a such a tiny patch of land. It’s as strenuous to dismiss the practice as it is to praise it, since a lot of the people who burn wood for heat have little money and need that resource to survive in fatally extreme conditions. I guess my former partner never understand the socio-economic side of the practice and only ever focused on the environmental effects.
