• The “Clear the Air Challenge” in 2009 was a great opportunity to bring people together in the valley to work together on improving air quality. Because of the Challenge, I have made many changes in my daily habits that include walking more, driving less, and chaining trips together to reduce air quality impacts. I even got rid of my own automobile!
• My goals in 2010 will be to:
o work toward a carbon and emissions neutral household,
o be a champion to expand our infrastructure for electric vehicles, and to
o continue to work to expand out transit, bicycle and pedestrian systems in Salt Lake City.
