Gas stoves, your health and pollution-free holiday cooking

Advocates will highlight the environmental and public health risks associated with gas stoves; demonstrate how induction cooking works; showcase a new library program that lends induction cooktops; and provide tips for reducing harm and cooking safely as Americans gather for the holidays.   

In addition, MASSPIRG Education Fund will release the latest from a survey report that finds shoppers aren’t getting the health warning or safety advice they need when purchasing gas stoves at major retailers, including Best Buy, Home Depot and Lowe’s. 

The public is invited to attend.
