Demand Stricter Regulations for Gas Generators to Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning


Demand Stricter Regulations for Gas Generators to Prevent Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
The Issue
Gas generators kill. They emit the equivalent of 450 cars worth of carbon monoxide—a gas you can’t smell or filter—capable of killing an entire household in just 5 minutes…and yet…when the power goes out after a hurricane or other natural disaster, families turn to gas generators. Unfortunately, these silent killers kill sometimes more than the storm and its aftermath. The gas industry has for decades prevented any government protections. Today, sign this petition to demand your government at least meet the CDC guidelines for keeping gas generators at a 20 foot minimum distance from all homes. Sleep safe even during power outages. Seek alternatives such as home back up batteries or camping solar generators.
