Tonight! Thursday April 24 7-8pm: A special presentation by Tim Guinee in Beacon, NY at The Rec Center, 23 West Center Street. The Tailpipe in Your Kitchen - What You Don't Know May Hurt You
Studies show that few Americans understand the inherent health dangers of cooking with gas in our homes. Tim Guinee (actor and advocate) will give a lively and entertaining presentation on the issue, highlighting the Healthy Homes Right to Know Act, new legislation created by Assemblymember Solages and Senator Krueger which will help New Yorkers protect their families from toxic pollutants in their homes.
The Teach-In will share information about what you can do at home to minimize the health harms from gas stoves and how we can create systemic change to accelerate the transition to all-electric buildings and cleaner air.
There will be free refreshments and a raffle to win a free induction cooktop!
