How Much Do Patio Heaters Really Damage the Environment?
Over the years, there has been a large amount of speculation as to how much patio heaters harm the environment. Many people have complained by saying that they are as bad as a 4×4 vehicle, but is that correct?
Due to increased pressure from campaigners and the government, some big names such as B&Q and Wyvale Garden Centre have stopped stocking the patio heaters. This has caused a lot of bad press to be targeted at the common patio heater.
This has resulted in many people, when they hear about patio heaters, they believe they are terrible machines for CO2. However, in 2008 when the EU might have banned patio heaters, an expert from the United Nations, Dr Eric Jonhson, argued some figures.
Dr Johnson argued that figures released by the Government has stated that patio heaters contribute 22,200 tons of CO2 each year. This figure works out as only 0.002% of the total CO2 emitted.
For use of comparision, he said that every year 4.6 million tons of CO2 is released from the use of televisions and it would take 5 patio heaters to match the same CO2 released by one TV.
Regardless of those figures, there is still wide spread hate of patio heaters, however, some business owners consider patio heaters vital. Almost all pub owners will argue that ever since the smoking ban came into force, a patio heater is vital for making sure they keep their customers.
People hate patio heaters so much is because they are seen as a luxury to heat the outside. However, during the summer months, many people use a portable air conditioner or dehumidifiers, but these machine don’t get bad press. Plus, people don’t consider that if patio heaters weren’t being used, many business owners would resort to using air conditioning units to keep their customers warm.
I guess people will always complain about the machines that we use, no doubt they wouldn’t complain about their benefits.
