Las decisiones tomadas en la década de 1890 “todavía nos impactan hoy”, dice un científico del clima.

Salt Lake City's west side has worse air quality than the east side — for reasons that range from a mistake made in the 1890s and decades of redlining.

A recent report from activists says nearly 53,000 acres of wetlands in the Great Salt Lake Basin could be at risk if the Inland Port and its satellites are developed as planned.

PM2.5 is projected to decrease 30% by 2050 according to UDOT’s environmental impact statement on the I-15 expansion. But most of that is achieved through improving efficiency and electrification.

A new report says the large amount of methane leaking from Utah natural gas production sites not only contributes to climate change and poor air quality but also hurts the state’s economy.

The new shuttles are part of Zion’s long-term plan to manage growing visitor numbers while preserving the park’s natural beauty.

The Utah Department of Transportation plans to expand I-15 between Farmington and Salt Lake City, in part to accommodate trucks. The Inland Port’s new vision is for more trains.

A new program targets people who are at higher risk of health complications from wildfire smoke.

West-siders bear the brunt of the valley's poor air quality and don't always know how to plead their cases to elected officials. Our Reaching for Air project tried to close the gap between constituents and their representatives.

Safety and entertainment value is motivating Utah cities and towns to opt for drone light shows over traditional fireworks. Except in American Fork, which wants both.

The idea is to cut back on trucks and embrace rail shipping. But dwindling West Coast imports and stiff big city competition make Inland Port success unlikely.

Students at Granger High School in the Granite School District are learning about the valley's air pollution challenges by submitting art to the Utah High School Clean Air Marketing Contest.
