Comment:
Not enough attention is being paid to the enormous "burden" of pollution which results from "casual" wood burning. Every community in California is impacted by deliberate smoke. Vehicle pollution is almost insignificant in comparison (some interesting studies have been done by Stanford on the level of pollutants generated by traffic as opposed to those generated by fireplaces). While I applaud efforts made to ameliorate the effects of diesel engines, I think a similar program targeting the pointless practice of burning wood should be adopted as soon as possible. There is a great deal of ignorance about the subject and almost no education. Mary Giacoletti
