The LDS Action Team announcement: This will be holding a special monthly Zoom event titled: Gratitude Night Please join us as we look back in gratitude at the momentum and progress made this past year.  From the Katharine Hayhoe presentations to Presiding Bishop Gerald Causse’s wonderful General Conference message, we have much to celebrate and be grateful for.  Plus, we’ll be looking forward to dates, events, opportunities, and challenges.  We can change and become better stewards.  Invite a friend and join us! Also, as another friendly reminder—this coming Tuesday, November 29th, at 11:05 AM, BYU will be hosting Katharine Hayhoe at their Forum Address. Thousands will be in attendance, and it will be broadcast (and recorded for later viewing) on BYU-TV. As an Evangelical Christian and world-renowned climate scientist, Katharine works tirelessly to build a bridge between faith and science through education about climate change. She also speaks about how we can learn to discuss this vital subject better and talk in kinder ways, where we first look for common ground with our family, friends, and associates. The BYU Forum addresses will be accessible at: www.byutv.org/byu-forum  Here is the Zoom access to the upcoming meeting: https://citizensclimate.zoom.us/j/89072562621?pwd=b0lnenk4RERQUGhxMWU2YmwxSmptUT09 Meeting ID: 890 7256 2621 Passcode: 797406 We hope you can join us!

The Future of the Great Salt Lake | March 16-17, 2023 The Stegner Center’s 28th annual symposium on March 16-17, 2023, will focus on the Great Salt Lake. One of the world’s largest hypersaline lakes, the Great Salt Lake is on the verge of collapse due to climate change, drought, and population pressures that have reduced inflows and shrunk the lake by more than two-thirds. The Great Salt Lake has been in the media lately, not only locally, but nationally and internationally given the unique nature of the lake and the grave risks to human health—referred to by the New York Timesas “Utah’s environmental nuclear bomb”—that would result from the toxic dust of a desiccated lakebed. Day one will consider the state of the lake and factors leading to its decline. We will then consider the risks to human health and the millions of migratory birds dependent on the lake, along with economic impacts, if this ecosystem collapses. Day two will focus on solutions to preserve the lake with presentations by scientists, water policy experts, politicians, community leaders, and others. The symposium will be hybrid, with speakers in person and attendees joining in person and online.
