The report, released on Sept. 27, suggests policy solutions such as the installation of affordable heat pump space heaters; the establishment of pollution standards and building energy codes at the federal, state, and local levels; and the implementation of federal whole-home retrofit programs focused on low-income communities. WE ACT released the report in collaboration with the Sierra Club, a national grassroots environmental organization, and Physicians for Social Responsibility, an organization dedicated to informing and advocating for the public on health threats.
