Fracked gas is poisoning our children’s lungs in our own homes.
Gas companies like FortisBC like to call their gas ‘natural’ to give you the idea it’s safe – but it’s not. It’s fracked methane, and it’s poisonous.
When we use gas-powered appliances in our homes, we’re breathing in benzene and nitrogen dioxide.
1 in 8 cases of childhood asthma are caused by gas stoves. They leak fumes even when they’re turned off. Fracked gas in homes has also been connected to increases in heart conditions, and communities near fracked gas operations have higher rates of cancer and birth defects.
We deserve safe homes and climate-resilient communities. There are better ways to power dwellings that don’t make us sick.
Keep fracked gas out of new homes and buildings! Tell the B.C. government you want safe homes built with clean electricity instead.
Yes, I call on the B.C. government to ensure that all new buildings come equipped with electric heat pumps and stovetops.
