Addressing Poor Air Quality: Prioritize Health and Sustainability in Utah

The detrimental health effects of poor air quality, including asthma and heart attacks, are driving families out of Utah. This not only impacts the well-being of our communities but also tarnishes our reputation and has economic implications. A shift towards remote work and restrictions on drive-thru windows could significantly reduce vehicle emissions. Additionally, enhancing public transit accessibility and transitioning to electric buses would further improve air quality. It is crucial to involve the community in these efforts. The time for action is now. Prioritize the health of our residents and the sustainability of our environment over short-term economic gains.
