Krueger lumber According to Larry Krueger, “Burning wood waste makes a lot of environmental sense. Burning fossil fuel takes carbon out of the ground and into the atmosphere. With wood, you take the ash from burning, bury it, and put carbon back into the earth. Plus, the fuel source, growing trees, remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It’s a win, win.”
