Wet - also known as green or unseasoned wood - is often sold in nets and is cheaper to buy.
This marks the latest step in the government's Clean Air Strategy, says environment minister Rebecca Pow.

And the govt has the cheek to defend air travel and we have Chelsea tractors in big cities where they are definitely not needed. Don’t want us to use wood or coal as energy companies probably scared of losing profits
Whatever we’ve two log burners wet logs don’t burn and nobody who has a log burner burns wet logs! Ridiculous is the word
I burn wood in my stove. Most people that do this know the wood should be seasoned. This government are just paying lip service to being eco friendly.
People will just go over the borders to Wales or Scotland to get their wood and coal then.
So we need wood kilns now then ffs store wood for a year under cover its then dry not sodding rocket science
Anyone who burns wet/green wood is a nugget. The drier the wood the more efficient the energy output, so it’s in the stove users interest to source properly dried wood. Wet/green wood doesn’t produce a decent fire.
I guess the only reason people buy wet wood is if it's cheaper - I can't see the going rate however. Is it much cheaper?
the homeopathic solution to air pollution
Dear government, FUCKING . LEAVE . US . ALONE ...
Got bastard Jackdaws nesting in my chimney pot so couldn't burn wet wood even if I wanted to 🙄
It's a step in the right direction but only a very small one. The air pollution problem won't be fully solved for hundreds of years
