It is an unqualified statement to say that 5 acres of burnt grass releases 1 
ton of particulate into the atmosphere without flyash controls.  Unqualified 
because 5 acres can produce anywhere from zero tons of grass to upwards of 
100 tons of grass.  It would have been more scientific to state that X tons 
of a specific species of grass produces X tons of particulate matter when 
burned without flyash controls.  Further, gasification of the pelletized 
grass would produce much less particulates, likely eliminating the need for 
flyash controls.

When grass (cellulose) burns it releases toxins, many of them known
carcinogens:
.

The particulate matter released to the atmosphere in a stove/furnace without
flyash controls equates to 1 ton for every 5 acres of grass.

Grass makes a much better fuel for a cow than for a stove. A cow may release
a little methane in the process, but that has been going on for eons.

At the Homeless Garden Project our job is to help people learn to 
solve their own problems and to achieve the life, career, and 
educational goals they set for themselves.

Homelessness and lack of job skills and work experience often go hand- 
in-hand. The Homeless Garden Project is a job-training and 
transitional employment program which enables individuals to make the 
life changes and acquire the skills necessary to move in productive 
directions and lift themselves out of their homeless or marginalized 
situation.
