As a stay-at-home mom, I find myself driven by a passion for our community’s welfare and the environment. Today, I am reaching out to you to highlight an important local initiative that I believe needs your support and attention.
With over 55 signatures already gathered, we have launched a petition urging the LDS Church, the biggest presence in our state, to prioritize water conservation and adopt sustainable practices across their properties in Utah. However, as a mom going against such a significant institution, the task can feel quite daunting when faced alone.
The severe drought conditions that persist in our state have made water conservation an urgent concern. Our community recognizes the need for immediate action to protect our valuable resources and secure a sustainable future for generations to come. By showcasing this grassroots movement through your esteemed newspaper, we can raise awareness about the significance of water conservation in Utah and inspire more individuals to support this crucial cause.
The petition emphasizes the importance of the LDS Church leading by example and aligning their practices with their teachings on responsible stewardship of the Earth.
Your support can amplify our collective voice, showing that we can make a meaningful impact and contribute to positive change in our beloved community.
