What is this wood burning insert for a fireplace? What was the fireplace supposed to burn without an insert?
As for more responsible consumption/waste, let's not forget the neglected cousins of reduce/reuse/recycle, like repair and repurpose. Sure they're kinda special cases of the main 3 Rs, like taking a worn-out sweater, unravelling it into yarn, and using said yarn to knit something else is recycling, it's just that there's this implicit assumption in the Rs other than "reduce" (especially recycling) that onvolve finding someone else to make use of one's waste, instead of treating it like a resource that still has value.
