Great set of resources from @SFBayPSR on the health harms of gas stoves + the benefits of building electrification. Includes Spanish & English fact sheets, patient brochures, and guides for health professionals!

I would like to recall the #COP27 Summit on Climate Change, which is taking place in Egypt. I hope that steps forward will be made, with courage and determination, in the wake of the Paris Agreement.
