Absolutely, it's the difference between a chemical change and a physical one. Eventually, your poop does make its way back to the ground. And that cotton shirt eventually goes in a landfill and degrades back into the ecosystem. But burned stuff is different; you can't unburn it, at least not without putting back in a whole lot of energy. At least as much energy as you released when you burned it in the first place...
