It's In The Bag: New Hearth Product Reduces Woodsmoke Pollution and Provides Easy All-Natural Fire

LOS GATOS, CA. Nov. 4, 2003 - For many families, a fire in the fireplace is a cherished part of winter and holiday traditions. In response to the basic desire for a warm hearth yet a need to support air pollution reduction efforts, Summit Views LLC, a California-based company, has developed easy-light, cleaner-burning goodwood® firelogs, an alternative fireplace fuel. Goodwood firelogs are now available in the Western U.S. through specialty and natural products markets including Whole Foods and Wild Oats. The product can also be ordered online for home delivery.

Goodwood firelogs come in a patent-pending easy-light package made with 100% natural, renewable resources. The natural, unprocessed jute fiber (burlap) bag with cornstarch inner liner is easy to light, igniting the soy-waxed wood chips and densified wood firelogs inside. Goodwood firelogs are as convenient to use as popular wax-based firelogs, but do not contain petroleum by-products or other chemicals. The result is an all-natural fire that burns for 1.5-3 hours with 50% fewer emissions than firewood, a pleasant natural wood scent and no oily fumes.

Using cleaner-burning goodwood firelogs instead of firewood also helps reduce indoor pollution. According to Summit Views co-founder, Jennifer Young, "That's a real benefit for our family, in particular, my daughter who battles asthma and cannot tolerate the smoke from regular firewood."

With winter just around the corner, we are likely to hear a great deal more about the pollution problems associated with residential wood-burning. In some regions, air quality agencies will even ban burning on days that are expected to exceed EPA guidelines for particulate matter (soot) and other pollutants. Cleaner-burning natural fuels such as all-wood firelogs allow people to enjoy their fireplaces with less of the woodsmoke emissions associated with firewood or the greenhouse gas emissions associated with petroleum-based products.

Summit Views LLC is a privately held company that has been in business since April 2001. The company markets all-natural, cleaner-burning renewable resource products, including easy-light goodwood firelogs, goodwood mesquite charcoal, and good mood soy candles, from the West Coast to the Mississippi.
