Here is some helpful information about how to stay healthy during the inversion from Utah Moms for Clean Air.

Dangerous PM 2.5 Levels
|
 |
We are in the midst of a horrible cold weather inversion right now that is trapping life-threatening pollutants in the valleys, endangering our health. Yesterday afternoon saw spikes in the readings of nearly 100 micrograms/cubic meter of PM 2.5 in Salt Lake County! See the image from the DAQ's website reporting this data.
To put this data into perspective, the federal standard for PM 2.5 averaged over a 24-hour period is 35 micrograms/cubicmeter; yesterday's spike was nearly 3 times that 24-hour standard. The air is so bad right now that Ogden, Salt Lake, and Provo have by far the worst air quality in the nation as reported by the EPA's website.

Tuesday, January 27th
5:30 pm to 8 pm (... or as long as you feel like staying)
The Woodshed Bar and Grill
60 E 800 S, Salt Lake City
Come join us to celebrate our two year anniversary! The SLC chapter of Green Drinks was founded in January of 2007 and is a fun, informal opportunity for anyone interested in sustainability to get together over drinks and talk "green". Everyone is welcome, there is never a charge to participate, and cash drinks are available. We meet on the 4th Tuesday of every month and have an average of 40 attendees per event. Feel free to bring business cards, brochures, and other eco-resources that you'd like to share with like-minded folk! There will be a small area to display these items.
It's always a great time with great people! Please pass this invitation along and bring friends, family and colleagues. We look forward to green drinking with you on the 27th!
***Salt Lake City Green Drinks is on Facebook! Please join by visiting http://www.facebook.com and typing in "Salt Lake City Green Drinks" into the search field. This is a great way to share information about news and events related to sustainability in the Salt Lake area.***
SLC Green Drinks encourages the use of bicycles, feet, carpools and public transportation! Thank you for helping to improve Salt Lake's air quality!
