Burning wood smells great, trees are re-plantable, we’ve been burning wood for thousands of years, and it’s fun to throw stuff in a small fire.
I have been seriously thinking about maybe getting ourselves a small wood burning stove, for heat, and cooking. If the power goes out, we won’t freeze, and can still cook.
What about burning garbage? In private homes? That would reduce ocean and landfill waste, and keep folks warm for free.
There are many small, very efficient woodstoves out there.
Garbage is poor fuel and is best composted or added to manure digesters. Sadly municipalities have had little success with such programs, although some do capture the methane from rotting garbage in landfills.
