John,
I wanted to reach out to see if you saw Greg’s email. The o2 Utah team has been enjoying the warmth, longer days, and the promise of a new season. However, looking across the Salt Lake Valley, it's clear that our air problems do not end with winter. Air Quality is a year-round issue and in order to improve, we need your support to work with state and local leadership Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.
Take a look at what Greg had to say and please consider donating to show your support for clean air for all Utahns.
Best,
Travis

Hey John,
Spring is here and the weather is getting warmer. As we shake off the chill and enjoy the sun late into the evenings, the inversion we face through the Winter may fade back into the distance. However, the issue of air quality is not unique to the cold months.

As Utahns go outdoors to hike, cycle around town, or start thinking about days at the lake, our air quality remains an issue that needs to be addressed across seasons. Along the Wasatch Front, air quality has never met federal attainment levels for ozone or 24-hour PM2.5 pollution. IQAir’s reporting on air quality trends shows that this crisis is only going to get worse unless action is taken by our leadership. This is why the o2 Utah team remains hard at work as spring blooms across the Wasatch Front.
As you gear up to enjoy spring, please consider donating $15, $25 or $50 and show your support for real change in our air quality.
By giving $15, our team can make 25 calls to voters, educating Utahns on our path to clean air. With every donation of $25, our team can knock 30 doors in support of clean air candidates in the primary elections. A donation of $50 lets o2 Utah continue working with legislators and local leaders to craft powerful policy that will clean our air.
We hope you enjoy all of the warmth and sunshine Spring carries with it, and we look forward to earning your year-round support in o2 Utah’s Mission to clean our air.
All the best,
Greg
