How does wood burning affect you?

We are working with local residents in Saffron Walden to reduce the environmental and health impacts of open fires and wood-burning stoves.

New evidence has uncovered that wood burning actually hurts your health, wallet and the planet.

Harms your wallet - wood burning is almost always more expensive than other forms of heating.

Harms your health - it is the largest source of harmful small particulate matter air pollution in the UK.

Harms the planet - it creates more harmful CO2 emissions compared to other forms of heating and we cannot reproduce trees fast enough to offset the CO2 emitted by burning wood.
