| Dear Friend, |
| Gas may be a mainstay for our daily lives, but it has always been a deadly tradeoff. Gas appliances emit toxic particulate matter that we breathe every day. Without proper ventilation, a house with a gas burner can reach toxic indoor air quality levels that far exceed Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) health recommendation for outdoor air. It doesn’t have to be this way. Join us in urging the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) to issue safety standards that reduce the risks to consumers from gas stoves. |
| In addition to contributing to indoor air pollution, gas infrastructure and distribution endangers public health and safety. In the last nine years, the systems that deliver gas have caused dozens of fatalities, hundreds of injuries, and forced over 30,000 people to evacuate their homes. Behind those numbers are the people whose lives have been disrupted by gas infrastructure. Along with endangering public health and safety, extracting fossil fuels and burning them in our homes creates climate pollution. However, there are steps we can take as we work on securing our clean energy future and one solution includes asking the Consumer Product Safety Commission to develop safety standards to protect families from the dangers of using gas stoves for cooking. |
| Send a message urging the Consumer Product Safety Commission to issue safety standards for gas stoves! |
