Hey John,
I just wanted to make sure you saw this email. Today is a really important day for air quality action, because legislators can look outside and see what it is we're all fighting to fix. It's gotten progressively worse throughout the day. Right now, the Air Quality Index shows our air quality in unhealthy for sensitive groups. This is not okay!
Scroll down for some concrete steps you can take to make an impact on this gross day (with more grossness to come).
Thank you and happy holidays,
Bella
P.S.: It was brought to our attention that one of our links wasn't working for some people. This should be fixed now!
John,
The brown blanket is here—consider this a battle cry.

When we think about festive colors of the holiday season, brown definitely doesn't come to mind. Unfortunately in Utah, it's one of our staples as the dreaded winter inversion settles over the Wasatch Front each year.
This pollution is the enemy we can see. It's ugly and it's dangerous. On average, we all lose 2 years of our lives simply by breathing our air, and our economy loses out on $2 billion in direct and indirect costs as our legislature continues to ignore the problem.
This year is different—we actually have a real solution. Prosperity 2030 is Utah's boldest legislative package to half emissions along the Wasatch Front. You can take three concrete steps today to help clear our skies:
1. Thank Senator Kirk Cullimore, the GOP sponsor of Prosperity 2030. This is the most ambitious plan to tackle our air quality, and Senator Cullimore deserves some kudos.
2. Reach out to your representative and senator and ask them to support Prosperity 2030.
3. Donate today to help us continue pushing this legislation.
They say winter is a season of preparation. Take these three steps to prepare for better winters.
Thank you in advance for stepping up,
o2 Utah
