Not for me personally. I think I went to one website that had a calculatorsnowtime said:My position is the amount of wood consumed by home heating is so small as to be inconsequential.
of your carbon footprint, and typical (for an American) was something like
10-12 tons per year IIRC. I must burn a few tons of wood per year, and
I believe its dry weight is almost entirely carbon.
I burn about 500 gallons of gasoline per year, which is about 2660 lb of
carbon, according to this interesting website:
(broken link removed)
So even that 10-12 tons per year sounds kinda high (only about
1/4 of my carbon footprint is gasoline, really ?!?)
Also, makes it sound kinda silly when deny'ers whine about putting a
"tax" of a few $10s per ton on carbon.
Of course, theres' some really bad info out there - I've read several
times that "each mile you drive your car puts a pound of carbon in the
air" - well, MAYBE, if you car gets 5-6 MPG. (No, deny'ers, this does
not give you permission to crawl back out of your holes ...)
