I agree, but I'm easy. Do others agree that wood-pile certification should be required? If so, would it be paid for directly by those with woodpiles or funded through a general government tax? Would dryness standards be set by EPA, states, or other entity?
If it's your neighborhood you want to clean up, I recommend taking it on yourselves. Get a good moisture meter and offer to test the wood. Get a write up in your local paper explaining the issues with burning wet wood, how to test and offer the service of moisture testing. Network through local community groups or online forums. Show up at local farmers markets and set up a testing area. We need to work harder on the community level and stop expecting a remote govt. to solve local issues.
I think you hit the nail on the head.. Those who frequent this forum are aware of what is necessary for responsible and efficient wood burning .. There are many who do not know what goes on here.. I say Craig Issod for Prez!!
