Utah Moms for Clean Air

The air quality in the Salt Lake Valley shaves off an average of two years per person's life span?
Each red alert day is equivalent to smoking half a pack of cigarettes? With 22 red alert days this past winter, each one of us -- including babies and children -- has had the equivalent of smoking 11 packs of cigarettes this year.

That's disgusting. I had a hard time this winter with the gross air. I hated to drive to the school to pick up my son, because that contributes to the air pollution, but I didn't want us to be out walking with the air the way it was either. We can all do little things to make a difference...
