The Air Quality issue in Utah is something most people have some awareness about. I have chosen to focus on this issue because I have hope for our community in Utah and believe if we come together, we can make a significant difference for our future and the coming generation’s quality of life. Although most of us realize that this issue if affecting all of us, I think there are a few aspects of this issue that need more public attention. This magazine will give you some information about the present Air Quality in Utah and what has been proposed to help improve it. I have included an Information article to better share the details of this important problem we are all facing.
While many people in our community have come together on this issue, one member stand out significantly, Dr. Brian Moench. I have included a profile about Dr. Brian Moench and the work he has done regarding Utah Air Quality and the effects of it on our health. Dr. Moench is a strong advocate for this issue and has spent the majority of his career creating awareness and fighting for the change that needs to happen. There are a few groups that Dr. Moench belongs to that have put the time and research into this issue to give us an educated explanation of what we are facing. Dr. Moench is an example of a great change maker in our community and he deserves to be recognized for his work and passion for helping Utah be a better place for all of us.
The research behind the health problems is too glaring to ignore and I am excited to share my thoughts in this magazine. I have also included a Persuasion Article to give a strong readers some ideas of how they can make a difference personally. For any issue out there it can be an overwhelming feeling of not knowing what to do to help. It is my hope that my Persuasion Article may inspire people to consider the current reality and how their choices can make a difference. I have highlighted some opportunities for change personally in our day to day lives as well as changes that can be made on a corporate level and actually touch thousands of lives.
Air Pollution is a worldwide problem, if we begin in our own community to do what we can we can become part of the solution. If we continue to assume that other people will fix this issue for us, we are leaving the fate of air quality to future generations who may not have the health they need to live healthy and happy lives. Any change we make towards improving the air quality is significant and we each have the ability and responsibility to figure out how we can help. Together we can make this a better place to live, to protect our health, and to secure more stability for our children, and the future generations to come.
