Daybreak’s mission vs. Kennecott’s emissions	7.3.2014	Salt Lake Tribune

Ken Collins: See it before judging	18.2.2014	Steamboat Pilot
A man named Ryan kayaked the whole Colorado and wrote about what he saw first hand in Wednesday’s Steamboat Today. And he gets railed at by a bunch of locals who I wonder; have they done that, seen what he saw? Have you personally witnessed the disappearing icecaps and glaciers? I have. Have you seen the salinity of our irrigated grain fields getting so high that less is usable every year? Are you that great of Sunday-Scientists that you know more than 10,000 scientists of every type, world-wide, that have been studying the effects of humans on our climate for decades? Have you used ice drilling down so deep that you can read CO2 levels changes thousands of years ago? Can you actually think that dumping millions of tons of toxic chemicals into our atmosphere and our rivers/lakes is no problem? The fact that our civilian and agricultural run-offs into the oceans, killing coral reefs, bringing many species to extinction, warming the ocean temps to the point that Katrinas and Sandys are ...

Letter: Vehicles with poor gas mileage should pay more for pollution costs	15.2.2014	Salt Lake Tribune
In response to HB74 sponsored by Rep. Lowry Snow, I will gladly pay additional registration fees to help fund road maintenance as a result of my higher-gas-mileage vehicle paying fewer taxes at the pump (“Is charging alt-fuel drivers more good for roads or bad for the air? ”Tribune, Feb. 7). All I ask in return is that low-gas-mileage vehicles have higher registration fees to help pay for their share of related medical costs due to increased pollution. Myron Willson Salt Lake City

Letter: Parents idling at schools a major pollution source	13.2.2014	Salt Lake Tribune
Wear a coat. Bring a blanket. But please stop idling your car when you pick up your child at school. Thirty or more cars idling 10-15 minutes at each elementary school in Granite, Jordan, Canyons, Murray school districts — daily — just think how much pollution that contributes to our air. And to have all this happening at schools where we want our children to be safe and healthy, let alone what it does to the air we all breathe. This source of pollution is preventable. Please turn off your ...

Utah guv, Legislature may be headed for clash over dirty air	11.2.2014	Salt Lake Tribune
For those days when the air in the Salt Lake Valley is murky enough that it stings the eyes and burns the lungs and kids are kept inside from recess, Nancy Schmaus set up an indoor-recess program at her children’s school to let them work out the jitters and get some exercise. It’s a step she wishes she didn’t have to take, but she recognizes it’s too unhealthy for children, especially those with asthma or other problems, to play outside. “It’s a big concern, health-wise,” said Schmaus, who is al...

Walsh: Keep the skies clear over Utah’s national parks	8.2.2014	Salt Lake Tribune
Zion National Park was 300 miles and a smoggy day away from the raucous air quality rally held in Salt Lake City last month. But while the thousands of mask-wearing Utahns who hiked to the open-air tent revival on the Capitol steps are in a long-term campaign focused on reducing the pollution generated by Wasatch Front drivers and businesses, there is another more immediate opportunity to improve Utah’s air quality right in front of us. And it hinges on preserving clean air at places like Zion, ...
