SIGN palo alto Gas Sunset date Petition

The science is clear: to slow down climate change, we must stop burning natural gas.  Residential gas appliances generate twice the emissions of all California gas-fired power plants, combined. Setting a sunset date now enables residents and businesses to plan proactively when to switch out their gas appliances, avoiding purchases of gas powered appliances that will need to be decommissioned too early in their lifecycles. 

​

Watch the video to learn more about setting a gas sunset date, or sign the petition now.

Take Action

water heater canvass

We're going door to door to talk to our neighbors about switching to high efficiency, clean, safe, heat pump water heaters. Palo Alto has a new turnkey program to source, permit and install heat pump water heaters across the city. Financing options are also available.  Sign up to become part of the canvassing team!  We'll provide training and materials.

Volunteers review map prior to canvassing for water heaters on February 11.
