Green Store Owner Cozies Up to Energy Efficient Morso 3112 Wood Heat

Photo Caption: Jennifer Casale relied on her Morso 3112 wood stove last winter after a spring flood sidelined her primary heating system.

Jennifer Casale is an environmental consultant, Founder & CEO of Nashville-based retail business The Green Wagon, LLC, and a very proud owner of a Morso 3112 cast iron wood stove. Living green is a passion that she lives and shares, starting with her very own “green wagon”, a1982 station wagon that runs on waste veggie oil.

While Casale bought her 3112 wood stove for the obvious environmental reasons, she didn’t intend it as a primary heating source. However, nature intervened in the spring of 2010 when a flood completely destroyed the AC/heating ductwork in her farmhouse.

“When I bought the Morso wood stove, I had no idea how much I would have to depend on it the next winter,” explains Casale. “As my only source of heat, my Morso 3112 stove kept me warm all winter! I'm in love!”

Casale point out that while she has chosen to fully immerse herself into the environmentally-caring green living lifestyle which includes heating my home with a Morso wood stove and driving a car that smells like French fries, everyone can take incremental steps to improve the environment such as shopping at local greens stores and reducing their fossil fuel use by using an energy efficient wood stove that burns local seasoned wood.

About The Green Wagon:
Described as a green general store, The Green Wagon in East Nashville stocks only environmentally-friendly products. About 70% of what the brick & mortar store carries is made in Tennessee. Buying local green products not only supports local producers, but also reduces the carbon footprint of the products.

In addition, all of The Green Wagon products will soon be available online. Once opened the online shop – http://thegreenwagon.com/ - will be send online orders directly from the producer to the customer, cutting out any unnecessary shipping.

Honor Earth Day with Green Living Actions

Forty-one years after the very first April 22nd Earth Day, environmental concerns continue to surface while at the same time conservation initiatives that support recycling, renewable energy, and sustainable living have gained worldwide acceptance.

While it now seems easy to embrace household recycling because in many cities and towns collection is now nearby or even at the curb, other green action such as renewable alternative energy solutions are slowly gaining traction as homeowners are more willingly investing in energy efficient home improvement projects that will save money over time.

This wise big picture approach to conservation and sustainable living practices is shared by Morso Energy Efficient Wood Stoves. Long ago, we made a decision to always consider the environment and continually challenge ourselves to innovate environmentally-responsible combustion technology and handcrafted high-quality cast iron products, using 98% recycled material.

Today, in honor of Earth Day, we challenge you to come up with your own Green Action Check List so that we are all working together to protect our Mother Earth.

Below is our Green Action Check List:

• Energy Conservation: Morsø has successfully maintained energy consumption at the same level for many years, even though stove production has experienced significant growth.
• Utilize Recycled Materials: Morsø’s manufactures high-quality cast iron products using 98% recycled material. Just think, your new Morso wood stove might have once been a bicycle, or a lamp post.
• Use Renewable Energy: At Morsø’s Denmark production facility 80 % of the energy consumed comes from renewable sources, such as wind and Bio gas. In addition, the Morsø US headquarters in Portland, Tennessee is powered by 100% renewable energy, including bio fuel and wind, per agreement with their local energy supplier.
• Minimized Environmental Impact: For the last 8-10 years, Morsø stoves have gone through major engineering advances concerning the combustion chambers to burn more completely with low emissions. Today 90% of our US imported stoves are approved by the strict Washington State regulations, in addition to EPA.
• Generate Renewable Energy: Researchers estimate that, in total, wood may produce between three times and 10 times fewer greenhouse gas emissions per unit of heat than other energy sources. When the use of sustainably-harvested, properly processed and seasoned wood for energy displaces the use of fossil fuels, the result is a net reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.

Tax Credit Extension Gives an Extra Green $$ Incentive to Purchase a New Morso Wood Stove

With our US wood stove and fireplace insert models qualified for the IRS consumer tax credit, Morso Energy Efficient Wood Stoves, along with our large network of authorized dealers, certainly welcome the Federal Bio-Mass Tax Credit extension that provides a 10% tax credit up to $300 for the purchase of a new biomass heating appliance in 2011.

This tax credit extension was part of the $858 billion tax package that President Obama signed into law on Friday, December 17. By extending this tax credit, Congress signaled its support of the renewable fuel industry.

The 2011 Federal Bio-Mass Tax Credit now includes a 10% consumer tax credit (up to $300) for the purchase of 75%-efficient bio-mass burning stoves (i.e. energy efficient Morso wood stoves or fireplace inserts).

To qualify for the tax credit the following criteria needs to be met:

• The credit is for biomass heating appliances, including wood stoves, pellet stoves, pellet inserts, and wood-burning fireplace inserts.
• The appliance must be installed in an existing primary residence, not a new house or rental property.
• The stove or insert must have a minimum efficiency rating of 75% as certified by the manufacturer. All US Morso Energy Efficient Wood Stove models qualify.
• The appliance must be an EPA approved biomass stove. All Morso wood stoves are approved by the EPA.

While this Tax Credit can be applied to the purchase of a wood stove or fireplace insert, installation costs are no longer allowed. It is recommended that homeowners keep the manufacturer’s certificate and invoice from the installer to give to their accountant and keep for their records.
