Did the Irish Government say what its members would do as individuals? You bet they didn't. Nonny it takes many ‘Ones’ to make an ocean!

The Irish governments campaign highlighting “the power of one” is a testament to that. Every little helps a lot indeed.

We can't eliminate our carbon footprints but we can reduce them and I guess I'm fortunate living in a warm climate where a fire isn't necessary. We have one hazard burn each year but over here it's the overuse of air conditioning that is a problem. I don't have that either although there have been overly hot days when I wish I did. It's the little things that count, light saving globes, filtration on taps, 4 minute showers, walk rather than drive, Fair Trade products and the reduction of land fill garbage . . .reduce, reuse, recycle .. .your bush blocks are recycled and not wasted so don't feel too guilty.

I know what you mean. Me, I've got a woodlot up the back and feed my fire from it and replace the trees. I'm sure my footprint is still high tho due to burning the wood tho the woodstove is efficient and meets EPA standards. we can only do our best and it sounds like you are and I am.

The article that I read claimed that the Cheetahs in Namibia were being forced out of their habitat by some type of weed which is closing their trails and harming their ability to move and set up new cheetah habitats. The makers of this Bushblok clear out this growth and make these logs out of the brush they pull out. The cheetahs are then able to move through the jungle at will and you are able to heat your home with this brush that they compact into logs. I'm no expert at this but it seems like a win win situation for both the animals and you. Why should you feel guilty? Because of the carbon? What can you do about that? All you want is to be warm and all the cats want is to be able to move around the jungle and be happy..... Grannymar,
