100% agree, many people don’t realize just how harmful wood smoke is. It’s also the main source of pollution in the Bay Area during the winter. Unfortunately energy costs are high enough here that people resort to burning wood to save money, so collectively beneficial policies are likely to face resistance (understandably). The purpleair map has been awesome to at least make the problem visible. I hope they are using it to aid enforcement on spare the air days. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Wood smoke is harmful? Hardly. Did you notice how they have banned and demonized tobacco, but the lung cancer rate keeps increasing? I just don't get it! Now they're coming for wood stoves next. I'm sure the cancer will go away after that. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
