The most "modern" stoves are also the “dirtiest” for some emissions. Carcinogenic Benzo[a]pyrene, for example. “Ecodesign” stoves are now the largest UK emissions source and they are mostly concentrated in cities. Its scandalous these were ever permitted in SCAs.

They are meaningless now. “Ecodesign” stoves are extremely polluting and should never have been permitted in SCAs. PM2.5 is 450X >gas boilers, 64X > average car exhaust. Many of the emissions are even worse than open fires, such as carcinogenic Benzo[a]pyrene.

SCAs:さすてなぶるくりえいてぃぶあくてぃびてぃ(持続可能な創作活動)を目指すしかないのだった。弱々サークルだから金銭的にも精神的にも肉体的にも優しい同人誌発行とイベント参加できると良いよねぇ
・イベント後に死にそうにならないよう体力作り
・精神的に負担のない告知などのSNS運用と印刷数
・お財布の許容できる印刷数
・無理のない原稿スケジュール
個人的にはこんなとこかな笑

Här kan man tillägga att godhetsknarkande Nestlé nyligen valde att sluta köpa produkter tillverkade av SCAs skogar.

Skogsbrukets miljöhänsyn är fortfarande trasig. Greenpeace visar tydligt att SCA inte har ett systematiskt arbete för att ha koll på naturvärden.

These deadly appliances have devastated the lives of many neighbours in SCAs over the last few years, where we were previously protected by the Clean Air Act. There is nothing "Eco" about these toxic stoves! Please look at the data.
