Try This: Tenants Are Fighting for Their Right to Clean Air
About this episode
This episode discusses the fight for clean air and safer living conditions for renters, highlighting the work of activists in addressing indoor pollution from gas appliances.
Enjoy this episode of Good Things, a Lemonada show that amplifies the good work being done by activists and organizers all over the country. Most people think of pollution as something outside, like smog and exhaust. But gas stoves, ovens, furnaces, and water heaters can actually release nitrogen dioxide directly into your home. For renters, that's a problem without easy solutions: unlike homeowners, they can't simply swap in safer, cleaner energy sources, and landlords and policymakers have been slow to act. In this episode, host Gloria Riviera speaks with Adama Moussa Harouna and Tanushree Dutta Isaacman, organizers at Action in Montgomery, about their work pushing for safer living conditions, lower toxic emissions, and a more sustainable energy future for renters.
