Derek Miller and Kim Frost: 'The quality of Utah’s air is something that affects us all and something we can all do something to improve. That is why the Clear the Air Challenge is so important.'

In past years, the Challenge was held in February to address wintertime inversion when our air quality is visibly at its worst. However, this year the Challenge was transitioned to July to focus on Utah’s summertime ozone issues, which can be just as harmful although not as visible as winter inversions.
Since the Challenge started in 2009, participants have helped make a big difference in improving Utah’s air quality, eliminating almost 1.2 million trips, saving more than 17 million miles and reducing their emissions by more than 5,000 tons.
