Commentary: Faith leaders could get something done about air quality
OK, so I am upset about how all of the climate change initiatives have been ignored or pulled back by this administration. Maybe I should just worry about my own backyard — Utah.
I have lived in Utah since 1973. We moved here to ski and go to college. Cache Valley was idyllic, but even back in the 1980s, we had some inversions. When I was seven months into my pregnancy, my husband insisted we go up to Beaver Mountain to get out of the inversion and to boost my spirits. What a tonic it was.
Of course, all these years later and with all of the additional people and automobiles, inversions are worse and more frequent. We now have warnings that it is hazardous to certain groups.
