Citizens Climate Lobby - Wasatch Front

07/21/2026

I sure miss the Utah summers from when I first moved here in 2001. Night time temperatures almost always got down into the 60s. My house didn't even have air conditioning when I bought it because you could always open the windows at night and cool the house down. Not anymore. It hasn't been in the 60s for weeks now and its only mid-July. And with all the wildfire smoke, you don't dare open your windows. Karen is right.... we need bipartisan solutions to protect our climate and our summers before things get any worse.

With triple-digit temperatures and smoke in the air, it’s getting hard to enjoy Utah’s natural landscape.

Senator John Curtis celebrated the 250th anniversary of the USA by hiking 250 miles while talking with his constituents. CCL was proud to join him on a section of the hike where many good conversations about climate and policy took place. It is nice to have a Senator willing to spend time listening to the concerns of his constituents!

Utah has a choice... it could become "the conservative state that leads the nation on climate solutions".

Karen spells out how we as citizens can make a difference!

Stewardship is not just a policy preference; it’s a value rooted in faith and community. The idea that we are caretakers of the land resonates across traditions.
