From mega-droughts, wildfires, wasting water, air pollution, heat waves and rapid growth, to the fossil-fuel, manmade, planet- warming climate crisis: Utah Valley is facing many environmental challenges.
Major solutions are (1) switch from fossil fuels to renewables, (2) get private money out of politics, (3) elect "green" leaders, and (4) make the very wealthy pay their fair share. Learn more with our Action Guide for an Ailing Planet and by viewing our Challenges page.
The Utah Valley Earth Forum (UVEF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit, educational, public service organization focused on helping Utah Valley and beyond to care for the environment and be more sustainable through effective action.
We do, and have done much to help the environment in Utah Valley. We have a long history of accomplishments since our founding in 2006. View our record.
• Conserve water plus save time and money. Stop watering the street. Xeriscaping could and should be for you. Visit our instructive website AND join our ZOOM on Xeriscaping on July 17 at 7pm. The link to join is at Zoom.UVEF.org.
• Water being diverted, mostly by hay- farming, is rapidly drying up the Great Salt Lake leading to harmful toxic dust storms. Plus Utah and many parts of the West are facing increasing water shortages. Check out our Water Crisis Soultions page for suggested solutions. More >>
