Hello I'm on a cruise ship and writing this and able to send with high speed Internet as good as at home. Just completed a ship tour found very interesting the kitchen galleries, the laundry control room ,the waste disposal was very interesting, we were shown the glass recycling, the cans compressed, but they burn the food waste card board, toilet waste is dried and burned, the chief sanitation guy told us that was the cleanest thing to do. Another told us they can dump once they are 14 notical mile out ,I suppose whatever is the most convenient . After wards my family and I were at the rock climbing wall area ,I noticed some soot then after a little closer look incredibe amount of black soot balls on chairs and deck I was shocked. .. .you need to know that the waste being burned is from 5000 people, its very windy a storm was coming in in fact its raining now, very small percentage was landing on the deck. I just want to agree with previous posts and ask the question why are they picking on my heat source that keeps me warm, some thing very important to us who live in colder climates, we are gathering up carbon nutral wood from our land, or supporting the local economy purchasing a very renewable resource. As posted earlier we are only using our hydronic heaters from October to may, compared to the millions of cars ,thousands of cruise ship, yachts, jets, all going to and froe ,most not of great importance ,Yet some are after your right to burn wood we realize we need to burn smart and with consideration of neighbors ,were is the common sense in this? Where is the fareness,is it we are easy targets? ??When you think about it the two to five thousand the average guy saves and the independent is very important to his family.
