"It was our first home—a brand new house we’d worked hard for, full of smoke every day."

House full of smoke We had years of outdoor burning till the council finally prohibited it. Then the neighbour from hell took up fish smoking which went on all day. It was our first home— a brand new house we'd worked hard for, full of smoke every day. Then the people over the way installed a woodburner where they burned all their rubbish day and night. Sealed in our house full of toxic smoke even on a lovely sunny day. Helen New Zealand

Victoria, Australia: Grampians National Park has burnt 74.000 hectares in #vicfires. That is Australia's "wood heating problem". Perhaps it's fossil fuels causing climate change, massive pollution and these massive bushfires that needs addressing now? #woodsmokepollution
