According to Proline, an electric stove is better for the environment than a gas stove. Unlike electric stoves, gas stoves produce carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and formaldehyde which leads to Air Pollution. These compounds are harmful to the environment and your health. Even though a gas stove serves a better purpose on energy consumption, an electric one has been proven to be less pollutive towards the environment since they don't emit harmful gasses to the environment.
Since Air Pollution causes Global warming, this is also a reason to minimize or even stop the usage of gas stoves.
Here is a more detailed look at the advantages of using an electrical stove according to my mother's blog.
- Save energy, because no energy is wasted. All the energy produced is induced directly into the cookware
- Heat spreads quickly on the stove as it is activated
- Safer, because the surface of the stove (except those in direct contact with the base of the cooking utensil that is being heated) does not heat up. In addition, it is safe because this type of stove has a feature to turn off automatically when the heating is excessive.
- Electrical stoves are equipped with a variety of cooking mode menus and various levels of electric power/heat that can be changed at any time while cooking. The mode and heat change the moment we press a button. This makes the cooking process comfortable because the heat needed to cook food can be controlled properly.
- Easy to clean
All the more reason to use electrical stoves rather than gas. Even though this seems like a small act, it's still one of many ways we can do to decrease air pollution and all the things it leads to.
Chapter 4: Conclusion
In conclusion, the Earth is burning. Slowly, but surely. From pollution, greenhouse effect, global warming, climate change, and who knows what else? As a Christian, I know that one of the main jobs of being a human is to keep the planet clean, safe, and sound. God has trusted us with Earth
Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and overall the creatures that move along the ground.”
