To: Governor Gary R. Herbert

Encourage Governor Herbert to support the Paris Climate Agreement

Last week, Donald Trump recklessly announced that he will pull the United States out of the Paris Climate Agreement, which has been signed by 195 countries in an effort to stop catastrophic climate change. In response, governors from California, New York, and Washington launched a coalition committed to the carbon reduction efforts called for under the Paris Agreement, which has now been joined by a total of 12 states and Puerto Rico. Please sign the petition and encourage Governor Herbert to support the Paris Agreement.

Why is this important?

There are many people in Utah affected by poor air quality during the winter inversion and that firsthand experience should dictate how we act locally and globally with regard to climate change and the quality of our environment.
