The irony is that you think you are the envirohippy, whereas in fact your pyrotechnics are driving the planet into burnt oblivion every day. Keep up your imperialist behaviour if you wish, but don't complain when your planet burns like the wickerman.

lol. Come back after you've planted yer trees, hypocrite.

@linnie, would be interested to know too. Everybody does what they got to and what they able to do. Fuel as a whole is getting extraordinarily expensive no matter what way you do it. i've had oil, electric, wood and now wood and peat, it's what works for me and is the cheapest as far as I can make out. Oil seems very common here but, insanely expensive, i would be interested to hear what people pay on average for heating fuel for a year. Last year i spent £50 plus another £50 at least transporting it, but, lots of hours cutting and splitting wood. I now wonder how many hours does one have to spend cutting and drying enough peat for heating a year, anyone done it? @birons thank you for the info! Handy to have a supplier in wick too.

We now have 20KG bags (aprox) of peat in stock at £4-50.

So...all you can do is make up lies about me when you know nothing....

I have probably removed more CO₂ from the atmosphere in the last six months than you can ever aspire to save in your lifetime.

You should go and read about the CO₂ balances when planting trees in peat bogs. Fast growing trees and peat bogs can be good for CO₂ levels.

i don't aspire to "save?" co2, you do, thought that was fairly clear from the outset. Good luck with your mission.

A quick question secrets in symmetry..........do you drink spirits? If you do, you are contributing to one of the biggest producers of Co2 in the country, Distilleries produce millions of litres of Co2 which is just released into the air.

I know you don't, so stop calling me a hypocrite.

You would be one for the ignore list if it weren't for that fact that you are so dangerous - due the influence you may have on other do-gooding scientific ignoramuses due to your attempts to live sustainably. We don't want you creating copycat eco-vandals do we now?

Don't worry golach, I don't touch spirits more than once or twice a year.
