On March 1, Pitzer Student Senate passed a resolution to support phasing out large industrial gas boilers in Southern California, including at Pomona College and Harvey Mudd College, after Associated Students of Pomona College (ASPC) did the same on Feb. 19.

If the regulatory agency South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) amends certain regulations, as the resolutions urge, Pomona and Harvey Mudd would have to replace their gas boilers with electric options based on a phase-out plan.

CAC organizer Tomas Souza de Castro broke down the importance of this issue into two main categories: public health and climate change.
