what is needed is a change in lifestyle but more than that, a different sort of thinking. if your going to buy a new stove, don't buy one that ONLY heats wood OR coal buy a MULTI fuel one, and buy one not just for heating make sure you can cook of it too. if its cold put some extra blankets or an extra duvet on the bed, if its cold wear a jumper, or a cardigan, a fleece or a padded shirt, in an emergency heat ONE room and live in that(wherever your multi fuel stove is-hint).these are things that happened when I was a child, it was considered to be common sense back then, a part of normal life but I suppose we do live in an age of central heating now and people have got out of the habit.
