I never realised chainsaws were such big polluters, I would have thought planes, trucks, cars and dodgy factories were as there are more of them and are running all the time they are in flight/on the road etc.

I was always told to look at the big figures because in the big figures, there are easier gains to be made but what do I know.

 

Yep it doesn't make sense at all - and why not make it easier to buy a cleaner fuel like Aspen if it's down to emissions - or is it all just down to CO2 and don't worry about us breathing in all the other stuff!

 

Second - chainsaws can last a long time if you get attached to a certain model - so all the old ones will be spewing CO2 for a long time yet.

As an aside (sort of) when I had my old 200 I started it, did my cuts and turned it off. Then I bought a shiny new 540! Excellent I thought, plenty of power for a stock saw till I realised that not only was the starting procedure exceptionally drawn out but the thing cooled down in seconds. What did I do? Left it on all the time I was working. I definitely burnt more fuel with the 540. Till it started randomly cutting out and I accepted defeat and got a 150!

Children - Get them to clean the chimneys.....or can't you do that now!

I think general consensus is telling us that chainsaws aren't a major contributor to world pollution, not sure log burners are either! You have to hit the big figures to see a big impact!

Imagine you are trying to reduce household expenditure, do you look at mortgage, motoring, heating, electric and water bills or look at your yearly expenditure on anchovies........well do you???
