"To the wood we grow, we could add the brashings, sneddings and sawdust produced by our foresters and the people who maintain our parks and gardens. This adds up, once other uses have been taken into account, to about 1.3 million dry tonnes a year, or another 0.7 per cent of my requirement."
- 'Heat', George Monbiot.
