What would create more pollutant... a wood fire for a single person or a 45 minute, each way, driving commute? Do areas in which wood fires are the norm have blackened skies?
- icebraining 13y agoSeems like a false dichotomy to me. Instead of going back to Mesopotamia, we could telecommute.
- svantana 13y agoThey are different types of pollutants. Wood fire creates a lot of carcinogens while (carburated) exhaust fumes are basically safe to inhale, although they do contribute to global warming it seems.
- manicdee 13y agoAnd yet people commit suicide by deliberately inhaling those "safe" exhaust fumes. Carbon monoxide, man. It's damaging stuff.
- ars 13y agoOh, a wood fire. No question whatsoever. Non diesel cars release very little pollution. >Do areas in which wood fires are the norm have blackened skies? http://practicalaction.org/smoke_kenya http://practicalaction.org/smoke_kenya http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs292/en/ http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs292/en/
