Summertime may be on the horizon, and while Utahns enjoy spending the hot months on scenic hikes, cooling off in lush reservoirs and enjoying the spectacular surroundings of the Wasatch Front, the coming months also present a threat to the beauty and health of the Beehive State. In fact, a recent KSL report warned that the 2021 wildfire season in Utah could be worse than ever, because of the state s current drought conditions. Those conditions pushed Governor Spencer Cox to declare a state of emergency in March.
So far, the worry is certainly warranted, with the first red flag warnings of the year announced earlier this month. According to KSL, these warnings were issued after a number of wildfires broke out around Utah over Easter weekend, kicking off fire season much earlier than usual.
Weber State Celebrates Earth Day
April 19, 2021
OGDEN, Utah – Sustainability remains a top priority at Weber State University, even amidst the challenges presented by a global pandemic. April 22 marks the 51st anniversary of Earth Day, and WSU is celebrating its continued sustainability efforts.
Sustainability Practices and Research Center (SPARC) Director Alice Mulder said the actions of governments, businesses and communities around the world to keep people safe in response to COVID-19 have provided a number of valuable lessons for addressing climate change.
“Importantly, we have learned we can adapt quickly when we are informed by science,” Mulder said. “We can recognize a pressing collective challenge and put our minds to it, with individuals benefiting themselves and the larger community. During the year, we both reduced the spread of the virus and saw reduced emissions and improved air quality as many people worked remotely.”

At the request of the Utah Legislature, the Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute – with the assistance of a 37-person Technical Advisory Committee – has prepared a Utah Roadmap to help legislators make policy to improve air quality and address causes and impacts of a changing climate. We’ll ask legislators and others how the Roadmap is being implemented this legislative session. Our guests will include Rep. Steven Handy, R-Layton and Rep. Joel Briscoe, D-Salt Lake City.
