Clean Air Night 22nd January 2025

Burning wood is the most polluting way to heat your home. Wood burning smoke contains fine particle air pollution (PM2.5), which enters your bloodstream when inhaled and causes heart and lung disease, diabetes, and dementia.

Wood burning not only harms your health, but also the environment. For the same amount of heat or energy, burning wood releases more carbon emissions than oil or gas, contributing to climate change.

We know this information will be new for many people. That's why we need your help to spark conversations about wood burning, ensuring everyone can make informed decisions about how to heat their homes.
