May 12th, 2009

Salt Lake Solutions Air Quality Partners, a community-based partnership including Utah Moms for Clean Air, presents


CLEAR THE AIR CHALLENGE | DRIVE DOWN YOUR MILES

TAKE THE CHALLENGE AND BECOME PART OF THE SOLUTION TO CLEAR THE AIR
If you haven’t already noticed, air pollution in Utah is becoming an unwelcome reality. Poor air quality means increased illness, and other health complications along with environmental problems and diminished quality of life in our communities. The good news is that this summer you can compete in the Clear the Air Challenge. Enter as a individual and build a team - there are tons of great prizes, but with clearer air, we’re all winners.
The Clear the Air Challenge, issued by Governor Huntsman, Mayor Becker and Mayor Corroon, is all about improving air quality, reducing traffic congestion and conserving energy in Utah by eliminating unnecessary vehicle trips. By simply eliminating a few vehicle trips throughout your week, you can make a big difference in your community while competing for weekly prizes, grand prizes and statewide recognition.
Register at ClearTheAirChallenge.org to take the challenge and start making a difference.

CHALLENGE GOALS
The challenge is open to all travelers excited about smarter alternatives to driving alone. Whether you’re completely new to TravelWise strategies, or a seasoned veteran, we encourage you to participate.
The goal of the Challenge is to:
– Eliminate 300,000 vehicle trip
– Save 1 million miles
– Reduce 1.8 million lbs. of emissions
Register here.

Many of us already avoid or minimize driving, and many more of us just feel guilty about driving. Either way or anywhere in between, the Challenge website can help each of us find the means and motivation to dig deeper and drive less. With the ozone season almost on us, it’s time for widespread action. Please join the Utah Moms for Clean Air team!

Lawn Mowing: Get Reel, Go Gas-free!

May 7th, 2009

March 13, 2009
www.carteretnewstimes.com

Warm weather arrives with the melodic chipping of songbirds preparing their nests. What? Can’t hear them? The steady rumble of lawn mowers not only drowns out nature’s melodies, it disturbs wildlife and sleeping neighbors, and is an unhealthy source of summertime air pollution.

Gasoline-powered lawnmowers will soon have to be dramatically cleaner under new rules issued by the Environmental Protection Agency.

The long-awaited regulation requires a 35 percent reduction in emissions from new lawn and garden equipment beginning in 2011. The reductions will be the equivalent of removing one out of every five cars and trucks on the road, according to the National Association of Clean Air Agencies.

The EPA said the new rules will save about 190 million gallons of gasoline each year.

Environmental awareness of gasoline engine pollution has sparked a renewed interest in reel mowers. This, coupled with the growing trend of smaller lots and lawns, greatly reduces the need for large, heavy, gas-guzzling mowers.

The new reel mowers in the marketplace today are not your granddaddy’s heavy, hard-to-push, blunt-edged mowers of time past. They’re state-of-the-art, lightweight and give your grass a gorgeous grooming.

Reel Mowers Are:

Environmentally Effective: Reel mowers don’t add any pollution, noise or emission levels into the atmosphere. And, thankfully, there are no gasoline fumes or smell.

Small Size and Right Weight: Reel mowers don’t have many working parts, so they’re smaller and lighter than electric or gas mowers. They’re actually relatively easy to lift, store and push.

Energy-boosting Exercise: They’re a great form of exercise while you accomplish a much-needed outdoor task. You can burn about 400 calories an hour mowing the lawn with a reel mower.

Economically Attractive: Reel mowers are considerably less expensive than gas, electric or battery-powered mowers. And, again, because you’re not using gasoline, they continue to be budget friendly.

Quality of Cut: Reel mowers tend to deliver a superior cut. The sharp blades make clean cuts much like scissors. Traditional rotary mowers actually tear the tips of your grass off, leaving jagged edges that often turn yellow.

Quell the Noise: Because reel mowers don’t have an engine, they make virtually no noise at all. You can mow the lawn whenever you want to without disturbing your family or neighbors.

If you’re ready to “get reel,” a good mower choice is the German-made modern classic Brill Mower 38-reel-mower. The mower offers several benefits:

* It features five blades, the optimal number for superior cutting and ease of pushing.

* Weighs only 17 pounds, light enough to hang on the garage wall or pick up with one hand.

* Eight-inch diameter wheels make it easy to push over tough terrain.

* The manufacturer offers a two-year warranty.

Keep in mind that manual reel mowers don’t cut tall weeds well, but they do great on grass. Because of the design, the reel will roll over tall weeds without cutting much. So they aren’t a good choice to mow a vacant lot, or overgrown areas of the landscape.

You can also go gas free but add a little power to your push, opting for cordless electric reel mowers. Like the manual reel mower, no gasoline is required, which makes for a much quieter mowing experience without the pollution of the gas mowers.

Brill also makes the Brill Razorcut Accu 38, the newest addition to the Razorcut line of reel mowers. It has a 24 Volt cordless electric motor, can cut up to 2,500 square feet of grass when fully charged, and weighs just 29 pounds.

Reel or electric, your lawn will love it. A good sharp reel mower will leave your lawn in beautiful shape. You can also get bag attachments for many of the models.

UTAH KIDS FOR CLEAN AIR CONVERGE ON CAPITOL

March 2nd, 2009

March 2, 2009
MEDIA ADVISORY

CONTACTS:
Travis Harvey, Board Member of Utah Moms for Clean Air (801-435-9434 or 815-4925)
Cherise Udell: Founder of Utah Moms for Clean Air (801/582-9369 or 510-306-6963)

WHO: A coalition of kids who care about Utah’s air quality

WHEN: March 3
9am: Students from the Open Classroom will be walking to the Capitol
9:15: Students from Morningside Elementary will arrive on a bio-diesel school bus
9:30: Students will be introduced to the House of Representatives in the Gallery
10:30: Kids for Clean Air Press Conference

WHERE: The State Capitol Rotunda

WHAT: Over 100 students from Rowland Hall, Morningside Elementary and Whittier Elementary will gather with colorful posters in order to greet our elected officials and encourage them to support clean air legislation. Additionally, they will hold a press conference, featuring four students ranging in age from 5 yrs old to 12 yrs old. The children have all composed their own speeches (including the five year old!).

Utah Moms for Clean Air, who is hosting today’s event, will invite kids before the press conference to help hand-out information to legislators.

WHY: These kids are in disbelief that certain days of the year they cannot go outside to play because the air is so dirty. They think it is time for the grown-ups to start cleaning up their own messes!

CLEAN AIR RALLY — Wed. Feb 25th

February 20th, 2009

RALLY FOR CLEAN AIR!!!

Wednesday, February 25th at the Utah Capitol (Interior West Steps Near the Rotunda).

LOBBYING: 11:00 - 12:00

RALLY: 12:00 to 1:00

Let’s pack the Capitol with a chorus of voices calling for clean air! We cannot wait any longer to clean up our polluted air and the legislature must recognize the important role they can and must play in this fight. Bring yourself, your children, your friends, and your grandparents — everyone! — to tell our legislators that enough is enough. Utah Moms for Clean Air doesn’t just represent moms — we are for everyone who cares about our poor air quality and the health danger it poses, especially to children. So please join us no matter who you are!

We will be meeting to directly lobby our legislators from 11:00 to 12:00 near the west steps of the Capitol building. Lobbying is easier than you think; if you haven’t done it before we will walk you through the process, and brief you with talking points.

The rally will start at 12:00 noon in the Capitol Building, West Staircase near the Rotunda. Bring a sign to hold up if you can (the press will be there as well as a documentary film-maker making a film about our air problem in Utah); keep the signs respectful, as our power derives from our image as a “family friendly” group. We will ask the legislature what actions they can take to fix this problem, and demand that they not sit and wait for the problem to get worse. We also want them to vote “Yes” on House Bill 393 which will prevent the construction of new power plants that can’t meet air quality standards.

Kids are invited on February 25, and we are also sponsoring a Kids for Clean Air day at the legislature from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm on Tuesday, March 3. If you know a group of kids who would like to come, contact travis@utahmomsforcleanair.org to find out how they can participate. It will be a terrific opportunity for kids to make their voices heard on an issue that directly affects them, and an equally important opportunity for them to see the legislative process in action!

Contact us at supermoms@utahmomsforcleanair.org with any questions and we’ll see you there!

Please tell anyone you know who cares about clean air and children’s health about this rally. The legislature need to see how important this issue is to all Utahns!!

Reconsider your Shovel

January 25th, 2009

As today’s storm blows through Utah and scrubs our air clean, please consider one basic action you can take to keep our air clean: shovel your snow instead of snowblowing it!

Small two-stoke engines are highly polluting and contribue significantly to our local air pollution. According to the EPA, a snowblower sends almost a pound of carbon monoxide into the air each hour it runs. As a comparison, you would have to drive about 70 miles to match the CO emissions produced in one hour by a snowblower.*

The main emission concerns with snowblowers’ small engines are hydrocarbons from unburned fuel and carbon monoxide from partly burned fuel, says Nigel Clark, professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at West Virginia University. In older snow blowers, Clark says, up to one-third of the fuel doesn’t get burned. In essence, two-stroke engines are very inefficient.

To minimize your contribution to our air pollution consider:

Bringing out your shovel and enjoying not only the peaceful rhythm of shoveling but also the cardiovascular benefits of physical exercise.

Not everyone can shovel due to physical limitations, so if you are willing and able, offer to shovel a neighbors walk and not only spare the air but create neighborly goodwill. And kids: consider going door to door offering to shovel for a few bucks.

For tips on how to shovel and protect yourself from injury visit Mother Earth News.

If shoveling is not for you, consider buying an electric snowblower, the greener snow blower choice. According to the E.P.A. electric blowers are greener because they do not emit pollution from exhaust emissions nor through fuel evaporation. To reduce the cost of a new blower, consider buying one with one or more neighbors.

If you must keep your current two-stroke snowblower, please do your part to limit your emissions by keeping your engine tuned, changing the oil and replacing filters regularly.

To keep our air clean we must all do our part!

SL Tribune — Cut Carbon Dioxide to Clean Our Air

January 22nd, 2009

The Salt Lake Tribune Editorial today strongly argues for following California’s lead and requiring a reduction on carbon dioxide emissions, which will inevitable lead to cleaner air. We couldn’t agree more.

Available here and below.

Unhealthy air
Utah must look at better options

Tribune Editorial

Well, Utahns, we’re back in the soup. The stinking, eye-watering, throat-burning, lung-damaging, cough-inducing air pollution that collects in Utah’s valleys during a temperature inversion. Relief may be in sight from a weekend storm, but there’s no guarantee.

So what do we do? In the short term, the prescription is simple. Drive your car or truck as little as possible. Ride mass transit. Carpool. Consolidate your errands, and if you can postpone them until the inversion lifts, do it. And don’t burn your fireplace or wood stove. You know the drill.

If you want more suggestions, visit www.cleanair.utah.gov. The air-quality folks have got a list of 50 things you can do to make it possible for all of us to breathe easier. Things like not idling your car and keeping it and your furnace well maintained.

But, really, if we only act during the inversions, the problem is not going to get much better.

Which brings us to the long term. Did you happen to watch NOVA on KUED Channel 7 on Tuesday night? That PBS science program explored the pros and cons of California’s aggressive efforts to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions that are contributing to global warming. The program was titled “The Big Energy Gamble.”

Most industrial carbon dioxide is the byproduct of burning fossil fuels. So, if you eliminate coal-fired power plants in favor of renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, and if you drastically reduce the burning of gasoline and diesel fuel in cars and trucks by requiring hybrid and electric vehicles, in order to produce less carbon dioxide, you also will produce fewer other air pollutants as well.

California has set a goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions by 30 percent by 2020 and 80 percent by 2050. “The Big Energy Gamble” examines whether these goals are achievable, and, if they are, whether they will hamstring the California economy.

Of course, Utah can do nothing and simply piggyback on California’s efforts. The low-emission vehicles that will be produced for the huge market in the Golden State will be available in Utah, too. But that won’t solve Utah’s dependence on coal-fired electric generating plants for the vast majority of the Beehive State’s power. Nor will it regulate other local industrial polluters.

When you take a breath on a day like today, doing too little does not feel like a good option. It sort of sticks in your throat.
