Statistically, fat parents are more likely to have fat children. Overweight in pregnancy also tends to produce heavy babies.

There are few energy or conservation issues with simple solutions. Wood burning is no exception. Ten years ago you might have received some strange looks if you started toting logs into your house for anything other than a romantic fireplace. Fuel shortages and price hikes, though, have started a revival in wood heating. People who have never picked up an axe before are going back to the same heating used. methods their But what about the costs? Communities that have gone to great legislative lengths to g industry out of their keep town are finding their air fogged by their own conservation efforts. While one or two fireplaces or wood stoves on the block may put a pleasant smell of hickory in the air, five or 10 wood stoves burning all winter can add up to a pollution health hazard. Worse than wood burning is coal burning. As wood becomes more expensive and wood cutting permits more scarce, people are burning more coal in their stoves. Although it has yet to hit Utah, there are increasing signs of regulation coming to wood burning in the home. The Colorado ski towns of Vail, Telluride and Crested Butte have all enforced new building codes limiting wood burning. New buildings are restricted to one stove or fireplace and coal burning is prohibited within the city limits. They also have had to emsmokeless weekends voluntary phasize how much pollution wood burning adds to the atmosphere. towns are exSome Northeastern scaled-dow- n versions of with perimenting catalytic converters and smoke scrubbers like those used by industry. They may start imposing emissions standards for individual homes. Wisconsin, which has studied the problem closely, estimates that residents burn 1.5 million cords of wood per year. This wood puts about 40,000 tons of pollutants into the air. This amounts to nine percent of the states total pollution. Besides the obvious health hazards associated with excess pollution, Wisconsin researchers speculate on the economic impact. They fear areas with excessive wood burning will raise the pollution count so much that new industries will not be able to move in. Additionally, it may raise the pollution count high enough to force presently operating industries to purchase expensive pollution control equipment. In the end the consumer will bear the cost. Until recently only the economic considerations were evaluated on the wood burning issue. In many areas of the country, the notion that you can save on heating bills, even in the long run, is being questioned.
