DYK that 90% of plastic production’s emissions come from just 18 communities, mostly low-income & communities of color?! And here’s the kicker: plastic is made from gas. The same fossil fuels heating the planet are making the plastic that’s polluting our air. That’s not coincidence. It’s injustice.

🔥 #hotStatFriday: Gas stoves release benzene—the same cancer-causing chemical found in cigarette smoke. You’re not just making dinner. You’re breathing in a side of carcinogens.

⚠️ It's #NationalFirePreventionWeek, and we’re talking about a danger you can’t always see: gas leaks. Swipe ➡️ to see how to spot signs of a gas leak in your home before it becomes a disaster. If you suspect a leak: 🚨 Leave immediately. 📞 Call 911 or your gas utility from outside your home.

Ever wonder how induction cooktops actually work? ⚡🍳 Chef @altonbrown breaks it down: instead of heating the surface, induction uses magnetic fields to heat the pan itself — fast, efficient, and even. Translation: more control, less wasted energy, and no methane fumes in your kitchen.

🔥 #HotStatFriday: DYK that nitrogen dioxide pollution from gas stoves is responsible for 50,000 cases of childhood asthma?! That’s 50,000 kids paying the price for an outdated fossil fuel appliance in our kitchens. 🫁💨 Cooking shouldn’t come with a side of toxic air.

🔥 #HotStatFriday: 80% of methane leaks from gas stoves happen when they’re turned off. Yep. Even when you’re not cooking, your stove is quietly leaking methane (a climate superpollutant) & toxic hitchhikers like benzene into your home. So you’re not just simmering soup—you’re simmering pollution.

How do you make the invisible visible? We’re teaming up with @climatetown.bsky.social Rollie Williams & leading methane organizations at #ClimateWeekNYC to talk about the tools and data helping us hold #BigGasPolluters accountable. Seats are limited — sign up now! 👉 https://luma.com/fxdnf34o

Would you breathe in car exhaust for dinner? 🚗💨 Didn’t think so. But every time you cook on a gas stove, you’re standing over methane, benzene, and nitrogen dioxide — the same kinds of pollutants we fight outside. Your kitchen shouldn’t double as a combustion chamber.

🚨 from @grist.org: A new lawsuit has been filed by the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers against the state of Colorado to stop it from requiring natural gas stoves to carry health labels warning about their pollution dangers. grist.org/accountabili...

🐄💨 Methane from cows gets a lot of attention… but did you know your kitchen stove is leaking the same climate superpollutant? Whether it’s cows or cooktops, methane = not cute. Thanks for learning with us, Cal + Jordan!

Gas stoves have had their moment… but induction is stealing the spotlight. ✨ It’s safer (no burns), cleaner (no benzene or carbon monoxide), & faster (boils water 3x quicker). Why keep cooking with fossil fuels when the future of food is already here? Read the full article: https://bit.ly/4pdApUi

We're amplifying the launch of @PSEHealthyEnergy’s #MethaneRiskMap, a tool that reveals the hidden health risks of methane emissions events. Hazardous pollutants like benzene and toluene often travel with methane— and now communities can see the risks. https://app.sosha.ai/s/ZKZEy2u6

🧑‍🍳 BDC’s Chef Rachelle explains in the @nytimes.com that portable #Induction cooktops are a “small but mighty tool” that will “get your pasta water boiling in half the time” as a gas stove, while also making your kitchen healthier, safer, & more climate-friendly. 🔌💡 www.nytimes.com/2025/08/25/c...

“Natural gas” = methane = climate superpollutant. 💥 Lillian gets it: most people have no idea what they’re breathing in — and no warning label to clue them in. Gas is dirty. Labels are overdue. #PutALabelOnGas

Gas stoves come with often-ignored health risks. Colorado’s new first-in-the-nation law is making sure buyers know what noxious carcinogens they have in store.

You think you’re just making dinner… but your gas stove is low-key turning your house into a toxic cloud zone. 💨 Methane leaks even when the stove is off 🫁 No ventilation? You're breathing it in — room to room, breath by breath. This isn’t just about cooking—it’s about the air you live in.

They didn’t just sell us gas—they sold us a vibe. From vintage ads to celeb chefs, the fossil fuel industry has spent decades convincing us that gas=glamorous, powerful, “clean.” But let’s be real: you’re burning a fossil fuel in the middle of your kitchen. 💨🔥 It’s not tradition—it’s a PR campaign.

Want a home that’s healthier for your family and the planet? 🏡✨ From ditching plastic to swapping out gas appliances, these easy swaps make a big difference—especially in the air you breathe.

👀 Meet our #PolluterOfTheMonth for August: Hilcorp Energy — the country’s #1 methane polluter in oil and gas.

“Natural gas” sounds harmless… until you realize it’s just methane in disguise. 💨 Should gas stoves come with a warning label? Nina says 💯 Yes. Just like any product that leaks toxic chemicals into your home. #PutALabelOnGas

As a climate reporter, she knew the risks of gas. But like so many renters, she couldn’t choose her appliances — until the leak made it impossible to ignore. Read & then ask yourself: Why aren’t gas stoves regulated like car exhaust? bit.ly/3RLUkJS

💸 BGE customers have seen gas bills skyrocket—and it’s not even keeping them safer. Consumer advocates are calling out reckless pipeline spending and demanding real oversight. Safety and climate need to come first, not utility profits. Read more on PIRG: bit.ly/46IjFxC

💥 Plastics = fossil fuels in disguise. Fracking didn’t just bring us methane — it brought us mountains of plastic. 🛢️ Gas → Ethane → Plastic wrap. It’s all the same dirty supply chain. Watch the full episode: to.pbs.org/4ly9oc3

You wouldn’t let an oil rig into your kitchen… But if you’re cooking with gas, it’s already there. 🛢️💨 Natural gas = methane = fossil fuel. And burning it indoors? That means you're breathing in the same toxic byproducts found at the extraction site — benzene, NOx, the whole nasty mix.

When “natural gas” sounds cute but is actually a climate villain 👀 💨 It’s mostly methane (aka a superpollutant) 🔥 Linked to asthma in kids 😤 And a lot of us are stuck with it, not by choice, just like Rejeana

You wouldn’t breathe in fumes from a car tailpipe… So why are we doing it in our own kitchens? 🧪 Scientists, like Rob Jackson, are sounding the alarm: burning gas indoors pollutes the air we breathe, right where we live. And it's the only methane source we release directly into our homes.

“You’re literally burning a fossil fuel inside your house.” 👏 We love to see chefs & home cooks rethinking gas stoves & making the switch. @thechefsmartypants (on IG) breaks down why they’ve fallen for induction: it’s cleaner, cooler (literally), & doesn’t fill your kitchen w/ toxic air.

🔥 CO just passed a hot new law. Retailers now have to #PutALabelOnGas: “Understand the air quality implications of having an indoor gas stove.” Cooking dinner shouldn’t come with a side of benzene, asthma, nor air pollution— we deserve to know what’s in our homes: leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb25-1...

"It’s 10pm. Do you know what your parents are scrolling?" 👀📱 Misinformation about climate change isn’t just an internet problem — it’s a family problem. That’s why @gasleaksproject.bsky.social & @greenlatinos.org are flipping the script w/ comedy & real talk about fossil fuels and climate risk.

🧠 "What do you know about natural gas?" 👀 "I’ve for sure heard it in middle school... but not right now, no." Same, Elliana. And that’s the problem. Natural gas = methane = a fossil fuel + climate superpollutant that’s 80x more potent than CO₂ in the short term. #PutALabelOnGas

🔥 Cooking without the fumes? Yes, please. ⚡ Induction = faster, safer, cleaner. 🍳 Gas stoves are out. These portable induction burners are in. 👍 And they're a great option for renters! Check out the top-rated picks: bit.ly/44eZKn3

🚨 PSA: Methane doesn’t ride solo. When it leaks, it brings a whole toxic squad with it—aka “hitchhikers” like benzene, ethylbenzene, toluene, xylene, and more...

💨 Methane is leaking—from pipelines, refineries, landfills, even inside our homes. And thanks to satellite tech and scientists like Rob Jackson, we can now see it. ➡️ “We’re mapping all the landfills in the world, all the refineries, and potential sources that might emit methane."

In MD, a worker smelled gas and tried to alert BGE. His calls went unanswered & minutes later, the home blew up. The same type of issue was also behind a 2019 explosion. BGE promised to fix it by the end of 2023. But new details reveal 440 of these dangerous trenches are still unrepaired.

“Everybody should know what they're consuming, what’s in the air—I fully support it.” We agree, Oliver. ✅ Transparency matters. ✅ Clean air matters. ✅ Knowing the risks before you bring a gas stove into your home? That matters too. #PutALabelOnGas

➡️🔥 5 reasons why gas stoves need a warning label. Spoiler: It’s not just about cooking. From asthma to air pollution, gas stoves come with serious health risks—and most people have no idea. People deserve the facts before bringing toxic appliances into their homes. #PutALabelOnGas

"As a mom, I feel like I have to be a scientist, looking at everything I introduce my child to. It should absolutely come with a warning label. I'm very annoyed it doesn't actually." Lexie is not wrong. NY legislators are voting to #PutALabelOnGas. Show your support at putalabelongas.com.

"What operators think they're emitting, and what's actually being emitted, could be hugely different." Deborah Gordon of @rockymtninst.bsky.social explains why having an accurate read of methane emissions from gas operations is critical — and how satellites are helping to make that possible.

"The oil industry, they really want us to believe that they care about the environment. They care about their bottom line." 🎤 @michelleyahn.bsky.social dropping truth at the #HollywoodClimateSummit! From air pollution to corporate greenwashing, it’s time to expose the truth about “natural” gas.

🚨 New satellite data shows massive methane leaks from a FL gas plant—visible from space. FPL's Cape Canaveral plant seems to be releasing plumes that are drifting into nearby neighborhoods, exposing residents to harmful, otherwise invisible pollution. Track the facts: bit.ly/3FbBMk0

🌍 Countries are falling short on methane action, despite big pledges like the Global Methane Pledge, says a new IEA report. They found that very few oil & gas companies have real implementation plans for methane reduction. Read the full summary: bit.ly/4j3ePNI

“It was slowly killing me.” Chef and Salt Fat Acid Heat author Samin Nosrat opens up about her switch from gas stove to induction — and she’s singing its praises: safer, faster, beautifully precise cooking — no gas required.✨ www.thecooldown.com/green-home/s...

Here's the thing: Oil & Gas companies SAY they're committed to lowering emissions but, in reality, work behind the scenes to OPPOSE rules that will help reduce leaks from wells & pipelines. We must hold #BigGasPolluters accountable❗ Check out our latest research: biggaspolluters.org

After devastating wildfires destroyed over 16,000 homes in LA, some survivors see this as a moment to build back better: safer, cleaner, and all-electric homes powered by a greener grid. 📖 Read more via @laist.com & @npr.org: bit.ly/4iOqTSP

Our first annual update shows things are looking worse than ever: 📉 More companies have dropped methane goals— from 51 last year to 56 today. 📈 2024 set a record for oil & gas air pollution penalties w/ $270M+ in settlements. See who’s failing us: biggaspolluters.org/one-year-of-...

"I hear that you are going to make people get rid of their gas stoves." ➡️ "We're not going to make anybody do anything." We WANT to do it because it's better for us and our family's health and safety, and because it's another way we can protect our climate. Watch the full clip: to.pbs.org/4ly9oc3

Did you know methane is responsible for nearly a THIRD of global warming? However, oil and gas companies continue to leak hazardous methane, the main component of “natural” gas, from their wells and pipelines. Join us and @biggaspolluters.bsky.social to hold these polluters accountable together.
