Only You Can Clean Up Our Air
The Salt Lake Tribune ran an editorial today, titled “Deadly Cocktail: Only you can prevent air pollution” about the deadly state of our air and the need for urgent, creative, and all-encompasing action to solve this serious problem. We cannot hide our head in the sand about this issue and everyone must be part of the solution — individuals, corporations and the govenrment.
“Our nasty air is a public relations disaster, bad for tourism, for economic development, for our quality of life. And worse, it endangers our health. People, particularly the young, the old and those with respiratory ailments, are wheezing, sneezing, gasping and even dying….[I]nstead of being defensive, we need to be proactive, innovative and dedicated to solve our air pollution problems, at every level of government, and in every single home. “
We couldn’t agree more.
We are making progress, but we have a long way to go. Kudos to the Salt Lake Tribune for speaking out (again) about this crisis.
