Sure, all that mining, manufacturing, oil-pumping costs are nothing! Cars suck balls. Except when I want to go to the waterpark with my kid, which is well beyond cargo bike range.
no argument from me, cars do indeed suck balls
all i meant is whether an individual drives or not has pretty marginal impact on wider society. The really harmful impacts are felt at scale.
I think you’ll find your dog has a bigger carbon footprint than a four wheel drive.
Funnily enough dog ownership correlates massively with car use, so you're sorta right

If it's modern, absolutely. You don't want to burn chemically and pressure treated wood. The good news is that doing so is more likely to fuck up the person doing the burning, rather than the wider environment.
Ancient stuff pulled from a victorian gaff is probably fine. It won't have been treated, that's for sure, unless it's not original.
