“Now we’re cooking with gas!” isn’t a fun metaphor—it’s fossil fuel propaganda! Gas stoves may be a trendy status symbol, but where there’s smoke there’s fire and those gas stoves are emitting TONS of smoke. Enough to cause serious health issues and contribute to climate change!
It’s okay if you didn’t know. We didn’t know, either! Lobbyists like @aga_naturalgas are paying influencers to shill gas stoves to you and gloss over the bad things about them—like all the pollution they release into your home. You know, the place where you pet your dog!
Cooking with gas produces levels of Nitrogen dioxide that would be illegal if found outdoors and are significantly higher than those produced by greener and cleaner electric stoves. Breathing nitrogen dioxide increases our susceptibility to lung infections, including COVID.
It’s time we told the gas stove industry to stop gaslighting us. Thanks to @ccspatz @MothersOutFront @SierraClub @weact4ejj @sammy_roth @rebleber & @TheLensNOLA for helping us with the facts for this piece and correspondent @AllanaHarkin for digging into this story. Go electric!
