Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall said she believes it's going to take collaboration from everyone to find a solution to the changing climate.
"I think this is very fundamentally important for conservatives to be able to articulate that we care deeply about this earth, we care deeply about leaving it better than we found it," he said at the summit. "What's been missing in the past is we've been very good at telling everybody what we don't like, and we've not been so good at telling people what we would like to do.
I learned the ropes early on with air quality work that building a relationship, believing that there is truly more that you agree on than you disagree upon and wanting to know and care about an individual as a human being is a really good beginning to then talking about harder issues, where there may be conflict.
Wendy Fisher, executive director of Utah Open Lands, adds there are other ways to help beyond the basics most people have heard many times before. One of those is cleaning off clothing that may have picked up invasive species seeds, so certain plant species don't continue to grow in areas they don't belong.
This year's Outdoor Retailer Summer Market even ended with a cleanup project, where volunteers helped remove trash and invasive species from the Wheadon Farmland Preserve in Draper. The event also focused on the importance of restoring native plant species.
