THE LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS OF SALT LAKE is pleased to announce a major public forum to get answers to these CRUCIAL QUESTION:

“Are We Smothering Utah’s Future”?
“HOW BAD IS IT?” AND “WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT IT?”

The forum will include:

Dr. Brian Moench (of Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment, UPHE); and
Tim Wagner (of Resource Media), will address Utah’s very serious air quality issues; and Cherise Udell (of Moms for Clean Air) will address automobile idling.

• The Wasatch Front has dangerous levels of air pollution; we know it, the EPA knows it too;
• Health of our children, grandchildren, and ourselves is deteriorating because of the dirty air;
• Water is being polluted as well as air--many industries are being affected;
• State government does little to help, so we are losing new jobs and federal “stimulus dollars.”
• By raising public awareness of what’s wrong and how to fix it, we can make a difference.

Dr. Moench summarizes his dynamic power-point talk this way: “Right now along the Wasatch Front, plans are being drawn up for more freeways, thousands more cars, hundreds of thousands new homes, more industry and a virtually limitless influx of people; all without any plan for the air pollution consequences. Without drastic policy changes, our air pollution will become intolerable. Our children and grandchildren won’t be healthy enough to live here, nor will they want to.”
