Gas has a nasty habit of exploding: since 2010, a gas accident has caused major damage, injury, or deaths occurred nearly once every two days. And that doesn’t even count accidents “behind the meter” – the gas company blames you if your house blows up. Gas stoves and furnaces are also a leading source of carbon monoxide poisoning, which kills at least 420 Americans every year.

Despite repeated train derailment disasters like in East Palestine, Ohio, the gas industry wants to transport more explosive loads of liquified gas through American rail communities. 

A majority of gas in the US comes from fracking, an environmentally damaging practice in which water and chemicals are injected into the ground to force out oil and gas. Toxic air and water near fracking sites is linked to premature births, heart disease  and cancers like leukemia.

Gas stoves leak methane and cancer-causing chemicals like benzene into the air of your home, even when they’re turned off! Children in homes with gas stoves have a 42% higher chance of developing asthma.
