<<Not full cords are going for $300>>
I think you need to get out of communist CA if thats the cost of wood!! We live with not a tree in sight (well almost) and get a cord and half for $35.
In reference to my post above, if you will need to pay $300 a cord, stick with fuel oil!
We bought a corn/pellet stove and hate it!! It can burn either corn or pellets. Neither one would heat the small house. When it got below 0 we couldnt get our house above 50!! I grew up with wood stoves and am very partial to them. They heat much better, and are cheaper (in most areas.)...
LOL. We used to do a good business in treestands. We'd find one on our property and take it down. Some years we'd find 4+. Always held on to them for a while, just to see if anyone would inquire about them. (Oh uh hi, I put a treestand up and your posted land, but you took it down and I was...
Agreed! And as for me (the OP), I dont wantonly waste things, no. But I'm not giving up soda pop. And I'm not giving up my truck... the only thing that would take me where I need to go (other than feet, which, I literally would not have time for in my occupation) is horses. If gas becomes...

That post, made this whole thread I started worthwhile for me, as it is something that had never even occurred to me before.
I am not, nor pretend to be a scientist. My opinions are based on articles I have read in journals, but moreso, my gut feelings.
Do I think pollution is bad? Yes...

Why do the two have to be tied together (global warming and pollution)? I don't believe in GW. Anyone who has really paid attention knows the earth has cycles it goes through. Humans have...
Alot of good points on this post. Maybe I was stirring the pot a bit, but I truly am tired of having "green" "organic" and "carbon footprints" stuffed down my throat.
I drive a gas guzzler because it is required for my fall/winter occupation, fur trapping. Fur- the original renewable coat...
Ok here it is. I was reading a post where some people here were on another poster for drinking OJ in a plastic bottle. Granted, they were friendly about it, and nothing wrong was done in the post. But it got me to thinking.
I could care less if I use 50 plastic bottles a day. A lot of them...
Good ideas. We have bees, but they're my husbands. I've been waiting to find my own swarm, but no luck yet.
I have no credit cards, or car payments, but gas is a killer. I drive nearly 30 miles one way to work!!
My one venture in beeswax candles didnt work. They would not burn!? Guess I...
