Did you hear? Riding UTA will be FREE across the service territory on February 28 and March 1, thanks to special funding from @slcmayor, Salt Lake County, Davis County and @intermountain Healthcare. This is your chance to explore transit and get around without a car. We are trying to find at least 200 people to skip the car and use @rideuta for two days. That alone would remove almost 12,000 pounds of CO2 from the air! In? Link in profile. And mark your calendars! . . . #cleartheair #cleartheairchallenge #climatepositiveSLC #FreeRideSLC #ridethebus #utah #slc #saltlakecity @slcmoves @downtownslc @slchamber @healutah @utahcleanenergy @utahcleancities @sierraclubutah @utahdemocrats @utahgop #utpol #utleg @sugarhousecommunitycouncil @poplargrovecouncil @slcgov @slccouncilRain, snow, or wind. Day or night. We ❤️ the air and we are enjoying the challenge of getting around in a cleaner way for the #cleartheairchallenge The @slcgov team has logged over 14,000 miles in #travelwise trips in the first two weeks of February. That’s a lot of emissions saved! Now to break into the top three on the leaderboard. . . • • • #cleartheair #showucair #cleantransportation #train #bus #walk #iheart🌎Some of the @slcgreen staff hit up #sundance last night to see Anthropocene. It’s a beautifully-captured, relatively short film about the impact humans have on the earth with a focus on the categories used in classifying geologic time. Of course those of us who care about #Sustainability know we have an impact (it’s why our office exists for one), but the movie offers a fresh and artistic take— can a potash mine be beautiful? What is it like to paddle out in lithium mine wastewater pools? How awe-struck are we by the power, destruction, and yes beauty of massive machines and metalworks? Makes you think about the impacts of each of our choices and the extractive impacts underpinning society. The film doesn’t lecture, just captures a series of stories. The questions and implications posed by the film are nuanced and complex. Just as they should be! It’s great to have access to such amazing films here in #SLC that make you think, feel, question and change. Has anyone else seen it? Any other recommendations? . . . @festsaltlake #sundancefilmfestival #saltlakecity #downtownslc #anthropoceneproject @downtownslc #planetearth #reducereuserecycle #whatwedoforfunTwitter
