Harms of Natural Gas for Us and the Planet!
Everything we burn, we breathe,, indoors or outdoors. Burning substances in our home is always bad for our health. Methane AKA natural gas is no exception. But mining,transporting and burning it in vehicles and power plants causes outdoor air pollution. Lastly, just like coal, burning methane is a serious cause of climate change and rising energy costs.
There are alternatives.
