Prioritize Clean Air!

Make clean air a legislative priority this session

Why is this important?

I have lived in Utah most of my life. I suffer from asthma and migraines during the winter inversion months. My oldest child is on the autism spectrum, which scientists at Harvard linked to air pollution. I am currently expecting my third child and worried about the air quality's effect on my unborn baby. I don't allow my children to play outside on "yellow" or "red" inversion days. Our family does all it can to not contribute to the problem- carpooling, no idling, reducing energy consumption- but we need a large scale, valley-wide effort to make a difference in our community. We need action now!
