I am recycling the metal from my oil burner I removed this winter. I replace it with wood. I have been 100% wood for heat & hot water all winter.

Hey Woof
Who really cares about saving the planet?The oil companies dont they just want more profit for less work.

The earth will compensate for the bullcrap overheating in my opinion.Evidenced up here last winter.

Big oil loves this so the less we use the higher than can drive prices.

Just my thoughts

I'm thinking about using my dog to pull me to work. :)

our local High school seniors will spend the day cleaning up debris and re-cycling stuff in town instead of studying each other in school.
