Provo moves toward better stewardship

On Tuesday, Provo Municipal Council unanimously voted to ban mining and quarrying in Provo, thereby protecting Slate Canyon and other environmentally sensitive areas from degradation or further destruction. Our hats are off to Provo Municipal Council for this progressive move that supports good stewardship of the environment. We understand Provo is moving toward adopting an opt-out citywide recycling program to replace the current and less desirable opt-in program. This would be a good move in the right direction of promoting good stewardship.
