Wood pellets are produced from the waste sawdust of lumber and paper mills. Home-heating stoves burning these pellets can heat homes directly, instead of relying on other energy sources. Heating your home with wood pellets is:

• A.  sustainable, less polluting, and about 3 times as efficient as heating a home using electricity from a coal-fired power plant.
• B.  sustainable, slightly more polluting, and is about 30% more efficient than using electricity from a coal-fired power plant.
• C.  not sustainable but is less polluting and is about as efficient as using electricity from a coal-fired power plant.
• D.  not sustainable and actually pollutes more than using electricity from a coal-fired power plant.
