Writing to magazine editors about Christmas editions

24th July 2025

We know it’s the height of Summer, but interior magazine editors are currently planning their Christmas editions. Can you write to them, asking them to consider not using images of blazing fires on their front covers or within features this year?

We want to raise awareness with editors that using images of stoves and fires in their magazines inadvertently promotes wood burning, in the same way that smoking was promoted in the past.

Using a stove or open fire to burn wood or even smokeless fuels contributes significant amounts of fine particle pollution into the air, which can damage the health of those around you.

Removing images of burning in stoves and open fires would be a way to start shifting the narrative on this subject.

We’ve written a template letter to help you get started. You can use this website to easily find the email addresses of many interior magazine editors.

Let us know how you get on.
