Initially I did not like the sound of crushing up trees to burn for fuel but after reading the wood chips come from the waste of other wood mills and the significant cost and environmental savings I was intrigued to learn more about what other schools, cities, or homes around the country are doing. I would love to hear what other people think about this particular article so speak up!
