The fight is not over yet: On September 21st, the Business and Labor Committee will hear the recommendations from the UBCC and pass it to the Utah Legislature, where it can be fully adopted as a new bill.
In partnership with the Utah State Legislature, the Utah Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), Utah Clean Air Partnership (UCAIR), and the Healthy Environment Alliance of Utah (HEAL Utah), the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) is holding Free Fare for Clean Air days on Thursday and Friday, September 1 and 2, 2022.
“This bill should mark the start of a new opportunity to finally prioritize our health and our environment as a nation.”
In the last 10 years, Utah has grown 18.4% and is expected to grow by 66% within the next 40 years. As Utah’s population increases, area sources like buildings will likely become the primary source of air pollution throughout the state. This makes revising Utah’s outdated building codes to the most efficient and sustainable codes a critical strategy in reducing emissions and safeguarding our health + environment.
With mixed emotions, we announce that Myron Willson, one of HEAL’s longtime board members, will retire from the board. While we are sad to see him go, we are so thankful for his years of dedicated service!
Please join us in welcoming HEAL Utah’s three newest board members, Gabriela Portugal, Briana Kobor, and John R. Contreras.
