You'll have to take on another plot to "carbon-offset", plant it with willow and or hazel and coppice it, burn that in your stove and you'll be carbon neutral, laying down as much wood each year as you burn. Second thoughts, take on ten full plots for coppice, that might keep up on a ten year coppice rotation.

Coal mining is a thing of the past round our neck of the woods, so I have to do my bit for the small business enterprises and keep a few men in work! Might be simpler to sink my own shaft at the bottom of the lottie, surrounded by coppicing of course!
Anyway, using coal is no different to using electric from a coal fed power station or paraffin/propane/gas which are fossil fuel based?
Burning scrap wood or chipboard is better than using it for landfill!
