- Properly burnt firewood is one of the most efficient way to generate heat as its renewable, abundant energy source with net zero carbon footprint when compared to other heating sources.

- Over its life cycle wood is ultimately consumed by microbes and insects releasing carbon into the atmosphere.

- If left untouched, in drier conditions it may end up burning as forest fires sparked by lighting.

- When purchased locally it benefits local economy besides helping in conserving fossil fuel and reducing forest fire hazards.
