Sane Energy Project has organized the first ever Citizen’s Radon Testing Program. Why do we need to test? Because fracked gas from the Marcellus could bring radon right to our apartment stoves, putting the entire city at risk for a major health hazard. Read why here.
Hopefully, the fact that radon is being monitored will give pause to those who are in such a rush to convert New York City’s buses, boilers and power plants to gas. Our goal is to establish a baseline reading this winter, and track average and individual readings over time. Read more about the program here. To sign up, send an email to: contact@saneenergyproject.org
We need at least 200 volunteers, across the 5 boroughs. Please sign up, and reach out to your friends and family to do so as well. This effort must reach beyond activists; everyone with a gas appliance is at risk for exposure. The tests cost $15 each, but through a generous arrangement, we can offer tests to those on limited budgets for half price. If you can pay the full price, thank you, it helps us to offer more tests to more volunteers, and we appreciate that!
We must complete testing by the end of February, so don’t delay–sign up today. More info here. Easy-to-follow instructions and the test kit itself will be sent out once you sign up. If you have questions, email us at: contact@saneenergyproject.org
