Are you going to pay?
A letter in the Prince George Citizen ended its support for wood stoves with “If someone was to knock on my door and ask me to put out my wood stove, my response would be this: Are you going to pay my heating bills?”
How about asking wood-burners to pay the bills for asthma medicine? How about paying the funeral costs for about 5 people every year in Prince George who die because of wood smoke? How about paying for all the people who will not move here because of the bad air?
Are the wood-burners going to also ask me to pay for their truck and fuel to get the wood? Do I pay for the saws, fine wood stoves, splitters, sheds and gloves?
I am NOT going to pay your heating bills. I converted to natural gas and now pay for it so that my neighbours can have healthy air to breathe. Yes it costs me to care about my neighbours. Wood burners should do likewise, and care more about those who have to breathe in their smoke.

Webmaster---All wood burning should be prohibited/banned/ended in all our communities---and with no exceptions. Woodsmoke is noxious, harmful, and deadly no matter who does it or where it occurs.
