    Banning wood burning is a great idea in residential areas. There is now way a person can keep the noxious and dangerous stench out of their home.

    City of Vancouver is considering the possibility of a ban for all new residential construction. This idea is considered in the draft Greenest City Action Plan. Chemical products of concern to possibly be addressed through a VoC strategy under consideration.

    Wood smoke in residential areas needs to be addressed. The sooner the better. It can lead to chemical sensitivity among other things. It is not necessary to burn... but it is necessary to breathe!
