Living to Breathe, A Look into Utah's Air Quality
Presented by: Kim Frost, UCAIR - Utah Clean Air Partnership

UCAIR is a statewide clean air partnership created to make it easier for individuals, businesses and communities to make small changes to improve Utah’s air. Every small change adds to a collective bigger step toward better health, a better economy and better overall quality of life for all of us. Established in 2012, the Utah Clean Air Partnership (UCAIR) is our state’s only independent, non-governmental, non-partisan 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to improving Utah’s air. This status better enables us to serve as a table where diverse groups from our community can meet to discuss our air quality problem and what can be done about it. We know that every small change adds to a bigger, collective step forward. UCAIR is committed to making it easier for individuals, businesses, and communities to contribute to this next step, in big and small ways, towards clean air in Utah. We intend to focus on highlighting the results from public outreach campaigns that we run in the Winter and Summer seasons. These campaigns specifically focus on motivating individuals to take action to clean the air. We would like to showcase statistics from surveys regarding the willingness of Utahns on taking action for clean air.
