Thank you @AirDistrict for your leadership and vote to reduce harmful NOx and emissions! Once again, the Bay Area leads the way with these groundbreaking rules!

[Bay Area Air Quality @AirDistrict]

The Air District Board voted today to strengthen building appliance rules to reduce harmful NOx and PM2.5 emissions, protecting public health and air quality. New regulations will phase out NOx-emitting natural gas furnaces and water heaters. Learn more: https://t.co/greehEKlHr

This is what we're here to do: make a difference while we can! If you are a climate-concerned member of the San Mateo community, please join our team: https://t.co/5o3oZZUNwe

[Prof. Katharine Hayhoe @KHayhoe]

It’s time to face the facts: climate change is happening, and we’re the cause. The impacts are far reaching and out our civilization at risk. But there’s still hope, if we act now. We CAN make a difference!

[Rewiring America @rewiringamerica]

This is a big deal, folks. It shows that an electrical appliance is WINNING the race against a fossil-fuel based counterpart. And every time a household chooses to electrify another aspect of their life, we get one step closer to a #RewiredAmerica. ⚡

[San Mateo Climate Action Team @smclimateaction]

@movesanmateo Love this e-bike rebate program in Denver! Let's get this going locally, San Mateo!

[Building Decarbonization Coalition @buildingdecarb]

As gas heating bills soar, state funding is urgently needed for programs to support low-income households in upgrading to electric #heatpumps. Communities need *every dollar* committed in the #CAbudget in 2022. @GavinNewsom

[Menlo Spark @MenloSpark2025]

Please don't put your face on the stove. 😅
But DO try cooking with induction. You'll never go back to gas.

Thank you Frmr. Mayor Bonilla for your leadership on decarbonization in San Mateo, for the inspirational presentation on what other Cities can do to further their own decarbonization goals, and for the SMCAT shoutout! @RickBonilla

[Acterra #ClimateAction @planetacterra]

Rick Bonilla is "very proud" of what the City of San Mateo has accomplished in electric reach codes - in existing buildings - in large part because of a volunteer group called @smclimateaction. "Justice comes from the people." - Bonilla
