Meylin Alzaga dragged her three children, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law out of Saturday’s sunshine into Rose Park Elementary School to learn about weatherizing their house, how the region’s seasonal inversions work, and how to reduce water use while taking a shower.
Marly, 10; Jason, 6; and Aaliyah, 4, gave their rapt attention — while Rosalia Ramirez and Joyce Ramirez looked on — as the family moved from table to table at a Salt Lake City event called "The Environment & You,” with information and handouts about different aspects of environmental awareness.
“We came because we care about the Earth and our children’s future,” Alzaga said.
