A house fire will almost certainly heat up the platters beyond their Currie point (at that temperature they lose all magnetization), so yes, burning down your entire house is a valid way to destroy all your data.

I think it's "safest" as in least likely to be terrible. Food saftey on planes is a lot better than most restaurants, since they don't want to have an "airplane" scenario.

I'm not convinced a rocket stove is really a viable option for most people. Burning wood requires a lot more manual labor than most people are willing to devote to their heating system. Even wood furnaces that only need to be tended to twice a day are too much for most people, and most rocket stoves I've seen have smaller fireboxes that need to be filled more often than that. What kind of electric heat are you even comparing them to? Resistive? Basically any combustion-based heating will produce less pollution than resistive heat from electricity generated by coal... Even the dirtiest #6 fuel oil! Heat pumps, both air-air and geothermal, condensing gas furnaces, and pellet stoves are a much better option for the overwhelming majority of people.

I definitely like glass better than every other currently available bottle, but I've never used a wood fiber bottle, so I don't really know if it would be better or worse to hold and drink out of.

What is the advantage of a biodegradable bottle over just reusing them like they do in many places?
