    You'd start to care pretty quickly if your environment began to impact on your health.

    Putting wrappers in a stove is very minuscule in the giant scheme of things. Attacking me or anyone for doing such is grasping at straws.
    So how much rubbish should someone be allowed burn in their stove before it becomes an issue?

    Probably but that includes pretty much everyone. Then again if the average joe cared high pollution emitting activities they'd be banned rather than taxed higher.

    I doubt much that many people complain they're paying too little for car fuel or coal.

    However much your conscience can take :D . How much pollution should an individual be allowed emit? From what I can see is as long as you pay the relevant tax to the relevant EU country coffers you can burn baby burn.

    Should someone be fined for burning anything other than coal, timbre or briquettes. You'd have 99% the country. How would one enforce it?

    Again I don't care. I'm being honest. Very few people really care when it comes down to it. In Ireland people have taken a small bit of notice because if carbon taxes and the reasoning the government used for it.

    On a global scale outside of the EU nothing has changed, yanks still drive huge cars and the Chinese put whatever they want in our water.
