Salt Lake Tribune lauds agreement to protect Nine Mile Canyon
“It is our responsibility to protect the delicate and beautiful things of the Earth, including, along with nature’s wonders, the treasures we’ve inherited from the people who lived thousands of years ago in the land we now call Utah. We would be cheating our children and grandchildren if we were to allow those things to be ruined in our rush to take fossil fuels from the ground.” (Jan 5 Editorial, Salt Lake Tribune)
