My right to burn or your need to breathe?

Smaller particles get into your lungs with ease.

Wood stoves remind me of crematoriums.

Buy a meter and check the PM level at your home?

Then check your breathing and your blood pressure

Why do you think chimneys exist? Smoke is toxic, for sure.

People used to think cigarettes were alright.

Why pay other people to ruin your health?

Smoke goes down your lungs not just up the chimney!

Smaller particles get into your lungs more easily.

Hotter burning makes even smaller particles.

Come round to us and get a lungful!

Just because it’s new might not mean it’s better.

Burning is burning – you can’t “Burn Better”.

But you can Breathe Better! Without the stove!

Feeling burnt-out?  Been sitting too close to the stove?

Don’t “Burn Better”  “Burn less”  or “None at all!”.

Who needs coal when wood smoke can kill us all?

Wood burning is a dirty business, money burned up.

Cozy inside, toxic outside? Fetch more logs?

I stopped the wood fire burning

Lamps flickered against the ceiling.

I had such a vision of the street

Evening newspapers assured of certainties,

The conscience of a blackened street

Impatient to assume the world heard.

Moved by fancies infinitely gentle!

Infinitely suffering, I then laugh!

Worlds revolve around ancient men

Gathering fuel to begin again.

I fought hard and saved and earned

But all of it is going to burn

You know I’ve really been so blind

I’ve fallen far, too far behind
