Polluting Appliances: An Illustrated Primer

Building decarbonization has become one of the Sierra Club's priority campaigns here in the Bay Area and nation-wide. It's a hugely important issue area with major implications for public health and the climate, but the terms "building decarbonization" and "building electrification" can be confusing. Local artist Vrinda Manglik helps us explore what's at stake in the effort to reduce harmful emissions from gas appliances in a new series of illustrations that kicked off in the Summer 2021 issue of the Yodeler. Check out the first of Vrinda's illustrations below and read the article that accompanyed it here on our blog. You can also learn more about this effort on our Building Electrification webpage.
