Wow, they've really gone back in time to the dark ages.

Like 15 years ago or so.

Poland is rich in coal and they farm their wood, so it's cheap. In a country where income has never really caught up with cost of living, they do their best. The air there smells cleaner and fresher than here in our British towns as the country is less densely populated and is well forested. Burning rubbish and being warm in winter is better than being without gas and freezing.
