@alexvelleley A real sad story about a NSW family imprisoned at home due to neighbours’ smoke. It's triggered asthma, yet a test revealed excellent lung function a couple of years before they installed the woodheater #auspol#cleanair#SLCPs@DocsEnvAus@friends_earth https://t.co/sgN2sUEjZr
@merylbatchelder @GeorgeMonbiot If that means you use the stove ONLY during power cuts - well done!
If you use it at other times, you are harming your health & the planet. Log-burning stoves are harming our health & speeding up global warming https://t.co/HrVx0j3GYx #auspol#cleanair#SLCP@DocsEnvAus@EJ_Aus
@swaaalla@VicGovEPA For thousands of years we also had high mortality and disease rates, especially for children, i.e. life expectancy at birth less than 30 years. Let's move away from 'natural' to 'good' and 'healthy'.
@VicGovEPA Asking people to choose alternative heating is the best way to avoid wood heater pollution. So why not make that the first point on the above web page? New heaters are almost as polluting as older ones! #auspol#cleanair#SLCP@DocsEnvAus@HealthandEnv@EJ_Aus
@gt2andy @Duin46473580 The idea that Putin, whose war-mongering caused the massive gas and electricity price rises, is a "far green extremist" beggars belief!
Wood smoke is linked to dementia https://t.co/3plqhPNWhI
Silly & ignorant tweets might be the first sign this is happening.
@Seejays29@GeorgeMonbiot In Aus, Daikins are efficient. Their UK website quoted £1,365 installed for 5.4kW heating, SCOP 4.71 (35 m2 room); 4kW SCOP=5.1; 8.2kW SCOP=4.1 should provide as much heat as a wood stove & cost less than buying firewood. Check out possibilities, e.g. 2 sm

@essexforester@woodsmokestinks@borlottiebean@GeorgeMonbiot@DefraGovUK Even the cleanest wood stove with dry wood produces more PM2.5 every day than the average petrol car per year. A 6 kW heat pump uses about 1.4 kW at full blast, & much less on average. Cheaper & healthier than buying firewood.#SLCP

@Paul_L_Hook@GeorgeMonbiot In Aus, a 6 kW split system heat pumps cost about £1.5k installed & deliver 4 to 5 times as much heat as the electric power used. That should be enough to heat the living room. If you need 12 kW (more than enough for a house) install 2! Chose models with COP>4 in cold climates.
As of 2020, nearly 18 million US households used heat pumps for space heating — a 50% increase compared with 2015. https://t.co/WSuyXqgWEc via @RockyMtnInst
#cleanair Too few people complain about #woodsmokepollution, so the NSW Gov says "there is no appetite to look at wood heaters".
Prove them wrong! Respond to the NSW Clean Air Consult! Asthma Aus says most people can't protect themselves from woodsmoke - https://t.co/bB2YSf4DR1
