Save wood for shade.. and save people

Did you know that 3 billion households in the world still use wood to cook their meals? It is like smoking two packs of cigarettes a day for those people*. I was thinking this last night, as I was running through a neighborhood, and noticed that people in million dollar homes (not my neighborhood) do the same thing to heat their homes. Isn’t that insane? One of the most wealthiest corners of the world still burning wood to stay warm. Weird how that works. You would think that their was a more effective way to heat our homes, say like natural gas, wind, solar…

In developed countries, burning wood in fireplaces is kind of like drinking sewer water.
