Replace your gas stoves with electric, preferably induction. The Trump regime canceled a $18 million EPA grant to study the impact of replacing gas stoves in 1,200 homes of asthma sufferers. The researchers published the results from 85 homes anyway, showing significant asthma relief for participants and highlighting the health impacts of gas stoves. https://wapo.st/4yQXZeg

@davidho@mastodon.world Dump the whole idea of a "range" while you're at it - obsolete since you didn't want to run the stove and oven from a single firebox. http://brander.ca/range/

@davidho@mastodon.world next up, after the car. Furnace and hot water heater will be harder, but on the list...

@davidho@mastodon.world Too bad those with heart devices (e.g. defibrillators) shouldn't use induction stoves because the magnets interfere with the functioning of the medical devices. Not that many appliance salespeople share that information.....

@davidho@mastodon.world if you can’t afford to replace right now at least make sure you are always running the exhaust fan while using the gas.
