Air Quality
Air quality is a recurring issue in Utah that ¶¶Òô³Ô¹Ï is choosing to address by taking part in the Clear the Air Challenge and through education of students and the community.
What We've Done

- The Mow Electric exchange allowed over 1,000 community members to trade out their gasoline-powered mowers for zero emission electric mowers.
- Healthy competition among departments, clubs, and students in the Clear the Air Challenge helped ¶¶Òô³Ô¹Ï students, staff and faculty save thousands of tons of greenhouse gas emissions and thousands of dollars in transportation costs.
