Every time you complete this action, you will reduce emissions by an estimated 135 lbs. CO₂e.

Older stoves can generate a lot of wasteful CO₂ emissions that more modern models avoid, and natural gas stovetops are more efficient than electric ones. About 61% of the stovetops nationwide are electrically powered, but they don’t work as well as gas ranges. An electric range requires direct contact with a perfectly flat pot or pan to operate at maximum efficiency, and produces over 100 lbs more CO₂ per year than a gas range.
