    Amen!

    My gas stove was leaky and could have blown up my house. So we replaced that with an induction stove, and it’s all around a better experience. Same with the water heater and the EV. All of these things plus insulating the attic have been improvements to our lives with the added benefit of reducing natural gas consumption more than 20% over the past year and saving about $100/month on utilities and gasoline. It’s nice that we aren’t pumping air pollution directly into our house when we cook anymore.

    Every bit of change we make helps, because the climate crisis is not binary. but more importantly the people who can make these changes receive the greatest upfront benefits.

      Thank you we’re cured now. Signed planet earth.

      People have already done that for the last 30 years or even more, and the saves just went into elon musks jet gas tanks.

      Sure, it’s good trying to do “your part”, but it’s worthless if everyone and especially companies aren’t forced to do the same as they won’t do it if they don’t earn money by it.
