Is it more environmentally responsible to burn paper or recycle it?
I have a wood burning fireplace and am trying to figure out if it makes more sense to recycle the paper I have laying around (junk mail, newspapers, scrap, etc) or to burn it in the fireplace when I have a fire going?
If I am using a fireplace to help heat my house…is it better to burn paper rather than recycle in lieu of turning on my oil based heater?
