Yeah, i just hope they dont do it over here too! Its just worrying how much we follow the US. I feel its another law to stop people being self sufficient, because the government lose money. (Point 1) They say its better for the environment but i dont buy it. Its just another law to take away more of our rights. (Point 2) And imagine how many stoves are gonna have to be scrapped. Recycling takes energy and power. (Point 3)Surely a stoves a stove.They burn wood. How can you say ones energy efficient and ones not? Its a metal box you put wood in to burn. I just dont get it? Next theyll be banned full stop. They've actually started banning collecting rain water in some states in america. Might not happen here yet but that could change. (Point 4) Hope im not offending.

Point 1: Similar laws in this country are to stop the bloke down the road polluting the air that you breath, nothing to do with self-sufficiency. It seems that over the pond they have similar concerns ( https://www.bouldercounty.org/env/air/pages/pollutantseffects.aspx ) So, bowtops has got asthma, mmm, so have 20 million Americans ( https://www.nrdc.org/health/effects/fasthma.asp ) and half the US population live in areas with bad air.
Point 2: The right to be able to breath clean air is being given to you, not taken away.
Point 3: Recycling does take energy and power, it also causes pollution, however, it uses far less energy and causes far less pollution than dumping stuff and extracting new materials.
Point 4: With the UK government, at both national and regional levels, actively encouraging the collection of rainwater ( https://www.defra.gov.uk/news/2011/04/22/water-butts/ ) not very likely.
With my pea sized brain, pathetic attempts at logic and minimal knowledge of things environmental, it just seems that legislation to control atmospheric pollution from domestic wood-burning stoves is a good idea, and arguing that a money-grabbing government is doing it in order to prevent individuals from increasing their independence from the infrastructure is a bit unsupported. |
