makes an environmental statement
That's how I see it. If you own one, it establishes your green credentials. The burner itself is a "vecteur", or means, of communication.

: But I can't help feeling that it might be better to put "marketing tool". I see some online evidence suggesting that "vecteur" is used to distinguish one type of marketing from another.
