Join 350 Contra Costa Action on April 16 for our first Community Climate Forum! This re-imagined version of our Climate Circle is a FREE online event that brings together community members every other month for a one-hour online conversation focused on key climate and clean-air campaigns happening right here in Contra Costa and the Bay Area. This month, the topic is Health, Air Pollution, and Our Homes. We’ll provide a short overview of the issue, then open the topic for discussion, and simple actions participants can take to help move solutions forward.
What’s Up about Air Pollution, Our Homes, and Our Health? At our first Community Climate Forum, we’ll explore:
- How pollution from buildings affects public health in the Bay Area
- Why reducing it matters for our communities, and
- What cleaner technologies like electric heat pumps can offer for healthier homes
Most people think of cars or industry when they think about air pollution. But gas appliances inside our homes, especially furnaces and water heaters, are actually one of the largest sources of nitrogen oxide (NOx) pollution in the Bay Area.
NOx pollution contributes to smog and fine particulate pollution that worsen asthma, increase heart and lung disease, and shorten lives. In fact, pollution from fossil-fuel furnaces and water heaters in the region is linked to thousands of asthma attacks each year and dozens of premature deaths, with significant health costs across our communities.
