Mandy Nolan’s article (4 May) suggesting (among other things) we try to avoid heating to reduce emissions is sensible.
A separate Echo article mentions that burning wood produces 50 per cent more greenhouse gases compared to burning coal. I wonder if those folks with wood burning combustion heaters or open fireplaces consider this?
Especially those with the big ‘Vote Mandy’ placards in their front yards or attached to their fences.
Keeping the community together and the community voice loud and clear is what The Echo is about. More than ever we need your help to keep this voice alive and thriving in the community.
Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.
