The O₂ Utah Foundation is an environmental nonprofit dedicated to a greener Utah. Our mission is to clean our state's air and eliminate our contributions to climate change by developing and strategically implementing visionary policy.

The O₂ Utah Foundation was formed to:

1. Create specific legislative policy.

Utah lacks concrete legislative policy in key areas like improving air quality or addressing climate change. Without a destination or a roadmap, it's no surprise that we have been lost for so long.

2. Implement grassroots organizing.

Grassroots campaigns actively seek volunteers and activists. This style of organizing, if used year-round, can build the critical support needed to make better policy happen.

WHY WE DO
WHAT WE DO

The O₂ Utah Foundation develops policy for our goal of Prosperity 2030 — reducing emissions by 50% along the Wasatch Front by 2030.

During the 2023 legislative session, HB 220 (Emissions Reduction Amendments) passed the Legislature. Phase 1 of Prosperity 2030, HB 220 sets a standard for bromine and other halogen emissions, addressing a problem that increases our winter-time inversion by 25%.
