My house has a wood burning stove and I used to use it regularly. I thought It was cheap and climate-friendly. It is neither. It took me the best part of a year to fully change my mind on wood burning but the evidence is irrefutable. I would never use it again.
It’s #CleanAirNight! Did you know that wood burning is the most polluting way to heat your home? Wood burning smoke produces fine particulate air pollution (PM2.5), which enters your bloodstream when inhaled and can cause heart & lung disease, as well as increase your risk of diabetes and dementia
