My grandparents lived in a sod house in northwestern South Dakota 100 years ago. Needless to say the “house” had no running water, modern plumbing or electricity. I guess I would have to go back to the way my grandparents lived as to not hurt the planet. However I was wondering if burning prairie grass and buffalo chips in the stove emits too much CO2?

None at all, in the global warming sense.

Whether the grass or buffalo chips decay or are burnt, exactly the same amount of carbon re-enters the air.

That would be some grim conditions. Most of us haven’t a clue how good we do have it.
