Did your region outlaw fireplaces?

Asked by Mtl_zack (6778points) February 17th, 2009

Recently, a report from the Quebec government stated that burning wood is worse for the environment than burning fossils. This is because a tree that has been growing for 600+ years collects a lot carbon dioxide. Now, when you burn that tree, 600+ years worth of carbon dioxide is being released into the atmosphere. Has your government done anything about this?
