    Healthy Homes

    Healthy Homes

    Gas companies have tried to convince us for years that it’s safe to use gas appliances in our homes, but research shows that burning gas is bad for our health and indoor air quality, not to mention the toll it takes on the environment. On this episode of ActiveLab, you’ll hear a recording of the Healthy Homes Info Session recorded on July 22, 2021. The panel, featuring the research team at UCLA, The Energy Coalition, and ActiveSGV, will discuss the latest findings from the Healthy Home Study, tips to help you prioritize health and energy efficiency inside your home, and next steps for implementing a clean energy future.
    Links to more information, resources, and tips shared in this ActiveLab episode include:
