Wood Stoves & Global Warming

Visit our new site: http://BrummetMedia.ca or visit our blog: www.consciousdiscussions.blogspot.com. These days, with fossil fuel costs rising and alternative’s like solar and wind still beyond the average consumer’s budget, many are returning to wood to heat their homes. Often, this can be a huge benefit to the family budget – especially if they are able to get the wood themselves. Unfortunately, there are huge environmental costs if this heat source is not handled consciously. So today we have the Woodstove Exchange Program Coordinator – John Vere – joining us. We are going to learn about the program, some of the behind-the-scenes activities in running the program and why it is so important to educate the public. Learn how to save money this winter and reduce contribution to global warming – at the same time, learn some tricks in starting fires and types of wood to use for specific situations.
