If you were anywhere near the Utah Capitol on Sept. 20, you probably noticed it: Hundreds of concerned residents and students gathered in the blustery cold to express their concern over our changing environment.
It should be no surprise why they’ve called off class and work to show up. Whether it’s the declining watershed, worsening air quality or record number of days over 100 degrees every summer, it’s hard for Utah’s youth not to feel concern over their future.
Now more than ever, our local communities are called to bridge political divides in service to sustainable climate action.
