Air Pollution

We realize that Utah is not the most

environmentally conscious state. It’s no secret
that our state has some of the worst air pollution
in the country. This directly relates to our quality
of life in the Salt Lake Valley and want to figure
out a way that we can help climate change in our
community on a household level.

One Tree Planted
We chose to complete our climate action
plan on One Tree Planted because they
focus on reforestation and a healthier
climate. Their thoughts and concerns
align with ours, because they are also
helping clean our air, one tree at a time.
Our
Message We want to inspire other households to promote healthier
air quality through big and small actions. There is no
argument that climate change is real and it’s happening at
alarming rates. By planting more trees and plants, we can
help do our part in helping slow down global warming
and the pollutants in the air. We can teach this to our
posterity and carry on the message for generations to
come.
Our Audience
Our audience includes
our family, friends and
coworkers. We chose
this audience because
we know many people
close to us have
similar views. They
can help in reducing
air pollutants and
planting more trees
with us.
Our Communication Methods
Social Media
Post on our social media
accounts about how we are
promoting better air quality
for the valley in our home.
Show gardening tips and
benefits, be an example and
plant more trees in our area,
and explain how this can
reduce air pollutants.
Planning an Event
We could do something
where we get our families,
friends and coworkers to
plant plant trees in their
yard/neighborhood, carpool
to reduce emissions, or even
start a garden- big or small.
This would be beneficial to
the cause by reducing air
pollution on a household
level.
