Smog isn't just an urban problem in Utah	11.5.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
by Judy Fahys The Salt Lake Tribune Published May 11, 2013 12:12PM MDT Rural Utah sometimes suffers stunningly high summer smog. For instance, the mountain community of Parleys Summit at the edge of the Wasatch Back had more high-ozone days last summer than Salt Lake City, the Utah Division of Air Quality found. So did no-traffic Badger Island and even low-traffic Antelope Island in the middle of the Great Salt Lake. Plus, the smog was bad enough — in the redrock deserts, the range and the mountains — that, had those spots been part of an official pollution count,... ...

Transit for less	9.5.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
by Xxxxxx The Salt Lake Tribune Published May 9, 2013 01:01AM MDT In “Mayors tell UTA to focus on quick, simple commuter solutions” (Tribune, May 1), it appeared that the Wasatch Front’s mayors totally missed the point that convenient, low-cost public transit is going to be a key element in future growth by cutting down both congestion and pollution.

Our lost civilization	8.5.2013	Salt Lake Tribune
Published May 7, 2013 05:05PM MDT If, 10,000 years from now, visiting archeologists wonder just what it was that caused the residents of the soaring culture of the Wasatch Front to suddenly abandon their homes just when the community seemed to be thriving, a simple look around won’t do much to explain the riddle.

by Tim Wagner Published Apr 20, 2013 01:01AM MDT In his book The Worst Hard Time, author Timothy Egan chronicled what was the worst man-made environmental disaster of modern civilization, the decade-long Great American Dust Bowl. It was the first clear signal that a large part of the United States could be rendered uninhabitable if its citizens and government disregarded environmental consequences, common sense and science in the pursuit of economic gain.
