100% Clean Energy in 10 years. This makes great sense to me. Click on the graphic below or on the title above for more info. Here is the Repower America Equation:
Energy Efficiency + Renewable Generation + National Unified Grid = 100% Clean Electricity + Clean Plug-In Cars
Earth friendly automatic dishwasher detergents are widely available at grocery and home improvement stores in Utah County. Besides being phosphate free and better for our streams and lakes, they are also safer for people too. Most phosphate free dishwasher detergents are biodegradable, bleach and caustic free and safe for greywater systems- compare the labels. Why use anything else?
There is currently much concern in Utah Valley about the phosphorus levels in Utah Lake and the debate may go on for years. By voluntarily making a conscious choice not to use this unnecessary ingredient in our dishwasher detergent we will be making a positive difference in the quality of our water resources.

The UVSF held its Living Green in Utah Valley 2008 Expo on September 6th. The "main event" was our awarding the first annual Earth Stewardship Award to BYU Professor Arden Pope for his pioneering work linking air pollution (PM 2.5) to human health problems and to Dr. Brian Moench and the Utah Physicians for a Healthy Environment for their work in combating air pollution. This is our second annual Living Green expo. We expect to do this again next September. And again, our deepest appreciation to Marsha McLean for her tireless efforts to make this Expo happen. We also thank the community sponors of this event.
On August 21st, the UVSF hosted a public discussion of two topics: "Troubled Bridges Over Troubled Water" (Utah Lake) and "Oil Shale or Snake-Oil Shale" in Utah. The Forum examined the environmental impacts of both proposed undertakings.
