A couple of weeks ago a grandmother wrote in who was concerned about her grandson’s health (“What If It’s The Gas Stove?” Letters, June 8). She questioned the safety of the family’s gas stove. Good question now that research is showing gas stoves emit — among other toxins — benzene. Benzene has been proven to cause cancer. Beyond Toxics, a local nonprofit, is currently going into folks’ homes and helping them see for themselves whether or not their stoves are leaking. Call them if you want a free test of gas stove leakage in your home.
The era of fossil fuels is ending — and none too soon for our health and safety!

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
