Costs

Our lives have never been the same since the next door neighbour installed a wood heater…

The neighbor’s smoke is everywhere…I can smell the smoke as I’m writing this…

I am an elderly person who has suffered from wretched chimney smoke for over 10 years now… It’s like living in some kind of hell.

So we pay the price for ignorance, poor ordinance, years of fighting for our property rights, the stress, the duress, the financial burdens, and now the physical death of my husband…

I have significant heart disease and cannot believe there aren’t more laws to protect people from this pollution…

…There are just so many wood heaters that as soon as the wind eases off we are swamped with smoke…

I never noticed how bad residential wood fire smoke could get until I moved to a certain Sydney suburb many years ago now.

I would like to share my own personal experience breathing the emissions from a nearby pellet stove about a decade ago…

Wood-burning stoves have become a problem even in residential areas of Japan…
