Episode 3 - Now We're Cooking with Gas...but should we?
About this Episode
Gas stoves have always been touted as the superior way to cook, whether you are grilling outside or making dinner in the home. However, they have come under a lot of scrutiny for their connection to childhood asthma and other respiratory illnesses. Many commentators even suggested that the use of gas stoves presents an environmental justice issue!
Earlier this month, the chair of the US Consumer Product Safety Commission suggested that gas stoves could be banned due to health concerns, which sent the internet into a frenzy. But it got me thinking... Should gas stoves be banned? Are they an environmental justice issue? What should you do if you currently use a gas stove? Let’s talk about it!
