How effective the logs of paper?




by iota » 10/11/06, 15:13

Hello,

Has anyone ever used a press to make paper logs?

Is the performance compared to a log of wood equivalent?

Is it ecological?
(it's always trees spared -> transformation of CO2)

Does it smell bad or toxic?
(plasticized paper, ink, etc ...)

Thank you to all

why not ? if it is dry. In many less developed countries shepherds burn dried cow dung.
More realistic: I would rather tend to recycle paper, right?
(unless you have to rely on 10 terminals in a car specially to go to the container park :D )

The concept of "pollution" applies not only to macroeconomic data that encompasses our entire planet, or our country. We can also talk about pollution at the individual level, which spoils our lives, this is the case when we talk about noise pollution for example, or waste that is pushed by the wind to your terrace. There is pollution when there is aggression for man. I'm pretty sure that burning cow dung to warm up is poisonous, or in any case it's no better for your health than gas or electric heating, so there is "pollution" ...

And why would it be "poison"?

Can you state your point of view more precisely?

Hello

paper logs are great; its hot that slab when you burn them but what does it heat when you make them : Lol: : Lol: : Lol: and a little more when you empty the ashes (abundant)

During a weekend in the countryside, we had prepared some for ecological reasons, but I confirm: better to recycle the paper than to burn it in the form of "logs" is not very effective.

Just like eating arsenic. It is not because it is natural that it is good for health.

I don't see how the shit burnt could not be toxic.
