Salt Lake and Utah Valleys are at risk of suffering a tragic and unprecedented North American health crisis. We must act now before many residents are forced to leave their homes.

Residents

Are in Danger

Researchers have discovered large amounts of arsenic, lead, antimony, and several other highly hazardous chemicals resting beneath the Great Salt Lake. As it continues to dry up, we are breathing more and more of these toxic heavy metals. Alarmingly, they are kicked up from the dried lakebed by even low-grade winds.

According to a study published by scientists at Brigham Young University, air quality in Utah is currently estimated to shorten all Utahn’s lifespans by 1-5 YEARS. Experts tell us we may only have 5 years before the lake is gone completely. Undeniably, and for the sake of ourselves, our children, and our grandchildren, we cannot afford to let the situation get any worse.
