Protecting the environment is hugely important to me. I've seen, firsthand, the effects of climate change on glaciers worldwide and on our winters here in Utah. But the battle isn't just to preserve our way of life as skiers and snowboarders and mountaineers, it's about human health, cleaning up our air quality and creating a future we want to live in! Today, President Obama is announcing the Clean Power Plan, the boldest and most aggressive action ever taken by the U.S. to address climate change. I wholeheartedly support this brave move, on a national level but more importantly on a state level. It will go a long way to cleaning up Utah's air quality- for those of you who are from Utah, let's urge Governor Herbert to support this too! #ActOnClimate #CleanPowDerPlan @protectourwinters Photo: @rob.lea
