One study from 2014 found that wood smoke was adding more particle pollution to London’s air than the first two phases of the city’s low-emission zone were expected to remove. In London and Birmingham, King’s College researchers reported wood accounted for up to 31% of locally produced particulates.

Additional features: Patented, compact, stainless steel, fire-tube heat exchanger has been designed to reduce welding points for extra longevity. Innovative heat exchanger allows water to flow to the top of the combustion chamber to dissipate heat, eliminate extra insulation, and improve durability. Flat burner design provides easy access for cleaning and reduces the overall height. Patented turbulators inside the tubes improve structural strength and create cyclone effect of the flue gases to maximize heating efficiency.

While the local law stops short of forcing landlords to overhaul heating, the energy audits will show how much can be saved through an upgrade, and will let landlords know what assistance may be available to help pay for upgrades.

Similarly, the steam that rises from a hot bath can do wonders for your indoor air.

Hotel ZOO in Berlin has long been regarded as one of the city’s leading design hotels thanks to its iconic setting and eclectic interiors. Built in the late 1800s as a private residence, it was reincarnated as a hotel in 1911 and swiftly became a hub for the rich and famous elite of Berlin (the likes of Sophia Loren have graced its hallowed halls). Now lovingly restored to celebrate the original brick and steel work whilst also incorporating modern luxury, it’s a perfect example of old meets new. All materials used in its renovation were sustainably sourced and the hotel itself has a Green Globe Certificate – an accolade for the ecological health of the hotel’s practices and supply chain. Each of the different room options is individually designed but for a seriously sumptuous experience, book into the Ku’Damm Suite, whose interiors showcase a delicious mix of feminine florals and plush velvets.

The people who burn wood in open hearths in Britain probably use the fireplace that was built with their house a century or more ago. Inefficient old stoves can pump out heat and fumes for generations to come.

The Hotel of Ice Balea Lake sits at a cool 6,500-foot altitude on the shores of a glacial lake in Romania. It’s recreated each December from ice harvested offshore. Though the popular Transfagarasan—a winding road through the southern Carpathian peaks—is nearby, the route is closed to traffic in winter and the hotel’s only access is by cable car. When they’re not nestled into thick sleeping bags, guests can enjoy snowmobile rentals, snow rafting, banana tubing, or guided trekking from the surrounding Winter Park. In the evening, a four-course dinner is served in the onsite ice restaurant where everything except the cutlery and cuisine is made from frozen water.

“Marissa!” I screamed at the top of my lungs as I frantically grabbed my little green plastic bucket, and it quickly filled up with an unpleasant smelling liquid that was supposed to be water. Now God love her, my wife is beautiful and a fantastic cook. And what a great mom she is to Jesse James and Daniel Boone, but she has three speeds: slow, Tai Chi Master and sleeping. And slow is the fastest.
