TAKE ACTION TODAY

For A Healthier, Stronger DC

There are actions you can take today to build a healthier, stronger environment for our entire DC community. 

beyond gas DC

DC’s electricity is headed toward 100% renewable sources like wind and solar. But we’re still burning fracked methane gas to heat buildings, cook our food, and power other appliances – causing a large proportion of DC’s climate disrupting emissions. Burning fossil fuels in our homes and buildings contributes to the climate crisis and harms our health.

Beyond Gas DC is working to ensure DC sees the climate, public health, and money-saving benefits of transitioning to clean and efficient energy in our buildings. Beyond Gas DC is made up of a coalition of environmental, faith, and community groups organizing a grassroots movement to transition off dirty fuel.

For a healthier planet & stronger DC. There are actions you can take today to reduce DC’s climate impact and build a healthier environment for our entire community.

Beyond Gas is conducting a new citizen science investigation of emissions from gas stoves in DC and Suburban Maryland. We are looking for people interested in having our researchers test the air in their kitchens for pollutants while their gas stove is in use....

Our Mission:

Move DC Beyond Fracked Gas

DC’s electricity is headed toward 100% renewable sources like wind and solar. But we’re still burning fracked methane gas to heat buildings, cook our food, and power other appliances – causing about a quarter of DC’s climate pollution. Burning fossil fuels in our homes and buildings contributes to the climate crisis and harms our health.

Meeting DC’s climate commitment of carbon neutrality by 2045 will require DC to move from fossil fuels to a clean energy future.
