Tene of thousanda of North Arnerican homeowners turned to woodburning stoves in the late seventies as shelter from riEing energy caste. Woodburning seemed rigbt for the times and suggested a simpler,' more independent way of living. But the burning of wood in stoves, fireplaces and furnaces bas come under fire in recent years because the resulting smoke is an air pollutant. Now, as scientists learn more about the full impact of energy production, wood is emerging as one of the most environnientally friendly energy sources available. suggestions Here are sorne suggestions for HIGH'EFFICIENCY WOODSTOVES AND FIREPLACE INSERTS Envirornmentally friendly - low pollution User friendly - clean glass and clean chimney. Easy ash*removal drawer. Many models to choose from -I envirornmentally conselous Wood- burners: 1. Use thinnings and deadfalls from your own property to supplement your fuel supply. Avoid taking healthy trees. 2. Use quick-growing softwoods and 'junk' species during spring and fail, and save the prime species like maple and oak for the cold winter months. Your Wood pile may not look as neat and tidy, but you'll be doing your part for the enviornment. 3. Always burn dry Wood by splitting and stacking it under cover in the spring. Wet Wood always makes a smokey fire and much more will be needed than if it is dried before burming. 4. Neyer humn painted or pressure-treated wood -- the resulting vapours are poison to the environment. 5. Neyer let a fire smoulder. You can easily check on how well you are doing by seeing how thick the smoke is coming from your chimney.

When the time comes te replace your waodstove or furnace, look for one with bigh efficiency and. low emissions ratings. You'll use less wood and make lesse emoke. 7. Treat each piece of wood you humn as if it were precious. It is. The more we learn about the looming environmental crisis, tbe more it becomes clear tbat eacb of us bas an important role te play in its solution. We cannot hope te eliminate aur impact on the enviornnuent, but there are many ways we can reduce tbose impacts te a fraction of wbat tbey have been in the Past. Firewoôd is a decentralized energy -source, one that if used wisely, can have * the- least negative impact on 'the environmient than any other fuel. By giving attention te sustaining tbe yield from our forest, we can actually improve tbem 'wbile taking fuel for beating. As the EMR rep ort points out, il... residential wood -stoves can be an important means for partially initigating the carbon dioxide greenhouse effeet."
