OUR WORK

We advocate for solutions to protect Utahs environment and its people

 At HEAL Utah, we work alongside community members to find solutions for Utah’s most challenging environmental issues, bridging the gap between communities and policymakers.

OUR GOALS

HEAL Utah is leading the fight to protect our right to a livable planet and ensure communities are free from harmful pollutants. 

 

To achieve this future, we make sure that climate action, public health, and community impact are prioritized as we work to promote clean air, clean energy, and comprehensive solutions to radioactive and toxic exposure.

TO PROTECT COMMUNITIES FROM AIR POLLUTION

We believe that action on air pollution is action on climate change. That advocating for clean air is one of the most immediate ways we can protect communities and the environment. See How. 

TO BUILD AN INCLUSIVE CLEAN ENERGY FUTURE:

We believe that our energy system should be built for the people it serves. That advocating for clean energy requires a holistic approach. See How. 

TO PROTECT COMMUNITIES FROM RADIOACTIVE AND TOXIC EXPOSURE:

We recognize that radioactive and toxic materials pose an environmental and public health crisis in tandem with our climate crisis. Consequently, HEAL Utah believes there is no inclusive clean energy future if we continue to ignore the impacts of extraction of waste on public health and frontline communities. See How. 

Our Approach

Policy + Community

HEAL Utah takes a comprehensive approach to address Utah’s environmental challenges, advocating for evidence-based policies, strengthening regulations, bridging community gaps, elevating voices, and promoting civic engagement for a healthier democracy and environment.
  • We advocate for Utah’s environment and people by enforcing and strengthening regulations while holding agencies, institutions, and industries accountable.
  • We close the gap between community members, lawmakers, and researchers to ensure that policies are evidence-driven and based on community concerns. 
  • We listen to and elevate community voices by building effective partnerships and bringing allies together.
  • We advance civic engagement and informed participation in government decision-making to build a healthy democracy in Utah.
