Open Air Life

The first Earth Day, on April 22, 1970, activated 20 million Americans from all walks of life to speak out against the deterioration of the environment and demand change.  As a result, the Environmental Protection Agency was created, the Clean Air, Clean Water, and Endangered Species Acts were passed, and the modern environmental movement was born.

Today, more than 1 billion people in 192 countries participate in Earth Day activities each year, making it the largest civic observance in the world.  This year, in the face of global inaction on pressing environmental problems, we must harness that power.

Earth Day Network is calling upon individuals, organizations, businesses and governments to Mobilize the Earth™ and demand that environmental issues become a top priority.

Open Air Life is joining the mobilization.

Salt Lake County, Salt Lake City and the United States Forest Service present Wasatch Canyons Today. The symposium will provide an environment to discuss a variety of issues that affect our Wasatch Canyons. Those issues include sanitation, road design, construction and maintenance, building code enforcement, water quality monitoring, addresses, planning and zoning, snow plowing, and more. The wide variety of day-to-day public services and the challenges we face in meeting public service needs sparked the idea for a community public forum.
