Clean Air Challenge

Think back, can you remember a time when the Salt Lake Valley looked like this?

Oh yeah, it happens every winter, it isn’t just a one time occurrence.

Governor Herbert issued a Clean Air Challenge for the residents in the Salt Lake Valley during the month of July. Our office participated in the challenge by individually finding ways we could cut back on the trips in cars that we made. We did this by using public transit, carpooling, biking, telecommuting, and stopping to do errands on our way home from work rather than making an extra trip out of it.

I am happy to announce that I personally saved 30 trips in just one month by riding my bike to work, taking trax, and carpooling with my honey. What can you do to help clear the air?
