Dear CAT members,
Emissions from buildings are growing faster than any other source of carbon pollution in Washington.
Why? The fossil gas used for space and water heating in homes and buildings. Fossil gas not only contributes to climate change, but also poses significant health risks for our communities, including children, communities of color, low-income communities, and other historically underserved communities.
There is good news! Many cities across the country are looking at powering all new buildings solely with electricity. Electrifying buildings is critical to addressing climate change; it is also achievable, affordable, healthy, safe, and creates a more resilient energy system.
You’re all invited to The Future of Buildings is All-Electric webinar. This webinar will share ways that you can get involved in promoting clean, safe, all-electric, including looking at how gas is currently used in buildings, its impacts on our health (especially indoors) and safety, and the prospects and implications of phasing it out.
Wednesday, June 30, 12:00pm
Online webinar, register here.
Come hear about action taking place around the state, why we need it, and how you can help!
See you there!
