Burr Trail controversy resurfaces Boulderutah.com
I
n April, the Bureau of Land Management allowed Garfield County to chip-seal 7.5 miles of a remote dirt road, reigniting a historic environmental controversy over who owns nearly 36,000 miles of dirt roads that cross federal public lands in Utah. At issue is the Burr Trail, a 66mile-long dirt road that connects Boulder to Bullfrog Marina through Capitol Reef National Park.
Back in the 1980s, paving the Burr Trail was a major environmental c o n t r o v e r s y. G a r f i e l d County thought that paving the Burr Trail would promote tourism. Environmentalists worried that a paved road would increase impacts to adjacent Wilderness
Mighty 5 tourism woes
O
ne problem with tourism is that it begets more tourism. Overtourism is not just caused by irresponsible geotagging or people trying to recreate Instagram photos. It’s also caused by irresponsible tourism promotion. Researchers at Utah State University found that the “Mighty 5” tourism campaign launched by the Utah Office of Tourism in 2013 worked all too well to boost visitation to Utah’s National Parks, drawing an estimated half-million additional tourists to Arches, Canyonlands and Capitol Reef. Utah law allows counties to charge a tax of up to 4.25% for hotel stays, but the counties have to spend at least 47% of proceeds on promoting tourism, while only 53% can be spent for tourism mitigation. That’s becoming a problem, especially for severely overtouristed towns like Moab. During peak-season, weekends traffic jams at Arches stretch from the entrance gate all the
Study Areas. Despite lawsuits, Garfield County was never granted legal permission to pave the Burr Trail. Fast forward to the present, and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) project description for the chip-seal says that “Garfield County is the holder of an [sic] Revised Statute (R.S.) 2477 right-ofway for the Burr Trail.” That’s not acSCENICBYWAY12.COM tually true. R.S. 2477 is an 1866 law that allowed building highways across federal lands, but it was repealed in 1976. In order to claim ownership, counties have to prove that a road was continuously open to public use for 10 years prior to 1976. As a lawsuit filed by the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance points out, “Contrary to rural leg-
way to Highway 191. The park has installed a traffic webcam to scare visitors away. In 2017, the National Park Service proposed a congestion management plan for Arches with a reservation system, but it drew criticism from local tourism boosters who feared that visitors would be disappointed if they couldn’t go to
end, no federal court has ever quieted title to any stretch of the 66mile Burr Trail in favor of Garfield County, and thus the County has no such right-of-way.” This “mistake” is hardly innocent. R.S. 2477 claims are a major tool for the transfer of public lands movement and would allow county government to convert jeep tracks into paved highways. Since Wilderness Areas are defined by being roadless, a successful R.S. 2477 claim could invalidate wilderness status. By all appearances, BLM and Garfield County knew what they were doing was wrong. Approval for the chip-seal project was done in secret with only a 15-day public comment period, and Garfield County commenced road work several days before the final approval had even been made public. The State of Utah has been trying to implement a large-scale R.S. 2477 road grab since 2012, and it looks like someone is trying to circumvent the courts by making false R.S. 2477 claims. ◆
the park. An alternate proposal is to develop more entrances and more trails, in essence vastly expanding the footprint of tourism into backcountry areas. It isn’t just the national parks that are suffering from overuse. The BLM Moab Field Office is considering camping restrictions in the Klondike Bluffs area near Arches due to an almost constant use for dispersed camping that is “damaging soils, and vegetation, wildlife habitat (including that of threatened and endangered species), cultural resources, paleontological resources, recreation opportunities, scenic values and grazing.” A legislative audit found that Utah counties want to relax the requirement to spend money on more advertising when they desperately need the money to deal with the problems caused by having far too many tourists.

An abundance of Painted Ladies! Back in 1935 Utah’s spring migration of Painted Lady butterflies (Vanessa cardui) was described as filling the air with a windstorm of butterflies, “the effect resembling an autumn day when the wind is whirling the leave about in great confusion.” There weren’t quite that many this spring, but there were still a lot of painted ladies. An unusually wet winter in Mexico and Southern California caused a superbloom that in turn sent a migration of orange and black Painted Ladies fluttering across the Western United States. Painted Lady caterpillars like to eat thistles and dandelions. The butterflies are pollinators that feed on nectar. There is likely to be a second wave of butterflies in June or July once eggs laid by the migrating butterflies hatch.
Utah Sierra Club rates Utah legislature The Utah Legislature is failing to protect the environment, according to the 2019 Legislative Scorecard issued by the Utah Chapter of the Sierra Club. The scorecard rates legislators according to how they voted on 20 key bills. In a press release, Utah Sierra Club Director Ashley Soltysiak lauded legislation to support public transit, air quality and water conservation, but added, “when the legislature approves nearly $55 million for a Mexican coal port, refuses to consider tax credits for electric vehicles or carbon pricing, and diametrically shifts nuclear waste policy in the wrong direction, the outlook for Utah’s environment is bleak.” 2019 Utah State Legislative Scorecard: BIT.LY/2X0E8H8
State of the Air 2019 The American Lung Association grades Salt Lake County “F” for clean air. As a whole, the Salt Lake metropolitan area (Salt Lake CityProvo –Orem) is ranked as the 8th most polluted city in the nation for particle pollution and 14th most polluted for ozone. The 2019 release of the annual State of the Air report says that climate change is making air pollution worse since hot weather is related to high ozone days and spikes in particle pollution. Nationwide, air pollution emissions have dropped steadily since 1970 thanks to
the Clean Air Act, which is currently under attack by the Trump Administration. Federal rules affect Utah because enforcement by the Utah Division of Air Quality (DAQ) is pegged to federal clean air standards. Some areas of Utah have been out of compliance with federal standards since 2006. In April, the Utah Department of Environmental Quality submitted a new air quality plan for Utah after a coalition of clean air activists threatened a lawsuit. Unfortunately, the new plan fails to account for projected population growth, or for emissions from the inland port, a massive industrialized zone planned for Salt Lake City’s Northwest Quadrant. However, thanks to SB144 (sponsored by Utah Senator Luz Escamilla in the 2019 Utah Legislature General Session), air quality monitors are being installed at the inland port site in order to establish a baseline and monitor environmental impacts. The good news is that as a result of the new air quality plan, Rio Tinto has permanently closed a coal plant that has powered the Kennecott Copper mine since 1943. Instead, Kennecott is using renewable energy certificates from Rocky Mountain Power, a move that could reduce the carbon footprint of the site by as much as 65%.

SUWA lawsuits prevail The Trump Administration keeps losing in
court, and that’s a g o o d thing for Utah’s public lands. In March, the Washington Post reported that in a rush for deregulation, Trump officials have failed to follow basic rules outlined in the Administrative Procedure Act that governs the process of making new regulations. So far, Trump’s “win” rate for lawsuits is only about 6% compared to the normal win rate of around 70% for government cases. In May, this sloppy policymaking handed two legal victories to the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. One judge found that the Bureau of Land Management violated the law by offering oil and gas leases without considering environmental impacts from greenhouse gas emission and climate change. Another judge blocked deforestation of more than 2,500 acres of pinyonjuniper forest in the Desolation Canyon and Jack Canyon Wilderness Study Areas due to improper environmental review. The Bureau of Land Management threatened to remove the trees by driving a giant wood chipper through the forest, a process known as “forest mastication.” So called “vegetation management” has become a strategy to block conservation management of public lands, essentially by destroying any natural values worthy of preservation. ◆
Bears Ears Advisory Committee stacked with nay-sayers In yet another show of bad faith toward American Indian tribes, interior Secretary David Bernhardt (replacing the disgraced Ryan Zinke) has appointed a Monument Advisory Committee (MAC) for the reduced boundaries of Bears Ears National Monument that is composed entirely of people who opposed creation of the Monument. Worse, only two slots on the 15-member committee represent American Indian tribes (five tribes have cultural ties to Bears Ears), and both were appointed from just one of the seven Navajo chapters in Utah. Under president Trump, the original monu-
ment has been broken into two small remnants re-named Shash Jáa and Indian Creek units. The Bears Ears Inter-Tribal Coalition opposes the premature formation of an advisory committee since the courts have not yet decided whether Trump’s 2017 proclamation to downsize Bears Ears N.M. was legal. Sally Jewel, who served as Interior secretary under president Obama, predicted in March that the tribes will win their lawsuit and the original boundaries of Bears Ears National Monument will be restored. The Bears Ears MAC is scheduled to meet on June 5-6.

Bee Fest: A Celebration of Pollination! BY GRETA DEJONG
B
y now, you probably know we need pollinators—bees, butterflies and other insects, as well as some bats and birds—to produce fruit, nuts and many vegetables, as well as coffee, tea, tequila and chocolate. But did you know that pollinators also play a role in the making of healthy meat and dairy, too? Grass-fed cows eat clover and alfalfa, which need to be pollinated if they are to produce seed. Minus the bees and their ilk, we’d be looking at a diet primarily of rice, corn, wheat and root vegetables. While honey bees (of primarily European descent) loom large in our present-day consciousness, they do not have to do all the pollinating alone. The U.S. is home to 4,000 species of native bees as well. And 1,000 of those species

live in Utah. In 2017 Utah State University entomologist Joe Wilson identified 127 different species of native bees in the University of Utah’s Red Butte Garden. We’re learning more about the critters that hang out in our flower beds and trees as news spreads about the importance of pollinators to our food system. In addition to bees, plants are pollinated by ants, bats, bees, beetles, birds, butterflies, flies, moths and wasps. But bees, both native and domesticated imports, remain at the top of the list for doing the heavy lifting. Governor Gary Herbert declared June 17-23, 2019 “Pollinator Week” and CATALYST Magazine kicks off the week with Bee Fest: A Celebration of Pollination! on June 15.
“Pollinator species provide significant environmental benefits that are necessary for maintaining healthy biodiverse ecosystems,” according to the proclamation Gov. Herbert signed. And that’s the message we’re here to share. At Bee Fest, you’ll find many flavors of honey for sale from local beekeepers whose girls (for all working bees are female) feast on different flower fare; native and ornamental pollinator plants; an observation hive; expert beekeepers; the muchloved Honey of a Bake Sale by Slow Food Utah; harp music by Lindsey Lesser and more. Our primary sponsor for the second year in a row is the law firm of Richards Brandt Miller Nelson (RBMN). RBMN proves its commitment to the community by supporting many charitable and educational events, including Bee Fest. Shareholder Barry Scholl, vice-chair of the firm’s business section, is a CATALYST board member. For more information on RBMN, visit RBMN.COM. We’re grateful to Wasatch Community Gardens for sharing their beautiful garden space with us, as well as the expertise of the inimitable James Loomis (who is also CATALYST’s “Garden Like a Boss” garden writer and famed DJ illoom). None of this would be happening without Slow Food Utah’s generous bequeathing of the festival to CATALYST last year. Slow Food Utah, the local wing of an international organization, originated the festival in 2011. Slow Food Utah/ USA/International is committed to the expansion of “good, clean and fair food” for all. There’s plenty more! Follow what’s happening at the festival at SLCBEEFEST.COM. See you on June 15. ◆

Meet the dust doctor Atmospheric scientist Kevin Perry knows what blows from the Great Salt Lake BY ASHLEY MILLER
Selfie taken from the summit of Strong's Knob on August 8, 2018, after I completed soil sample collection for the entire GSL lakebed. Gunnison Island can be seen in the background
L
ast year I wrote about dust that often blows in from the southwest, plaguing areas of the Wasatch Front (see CATALYST, July 2018). I wanted to take a closer look specifically at the dust that comes from the Great Salt Lake. The lake remains near historic low levels, with over 500 square miles of its lakebed exposed. This is due to many factors, including low snowfall years, continued drought, and water diversions for agriculture. Perhaps one of the harshest consequences of the low lake level is for air quality: The exposed lakebed has become, in several areas, a significant source of dust that gets blown up into the atmosphere, and into our lungs. During a Legislative Bipartisan Clean Air Caucus meeting last summer, I got to meet the perfect person for my quest.
Meet Dr. Kevin Perry, Ph.D, Department of Atmosphric Sciences at the University of Utah. Dr. Perry was chair of the department for seven years, and he is passionate about studying dust. Perry is originally from Kansas City, and like many others who end up calling Utah home, he was drawn to the west and happy to land in Salt Lake City to work for the University. “For studying air quality, this place is one of the best places to be,” he enthused. “We have really

good air and really bad air. In a bad way, it’s a great laboratory experiment we are performing on ourselves, living here.” Perry has been interested in dust transport (blowing dust from one spot to another) for a long time. He published his first paper on dust in 1997. He was working for the National Park Service at that time, and found it fascinating that there was Saharan dust blowing into the southeastern United States from Africa. Seeing this foreign dust during the summer at national parks piqued his interest to identify how the dust was chemically different from the native dust, and trace it back to its source. “There is more dust in Texas in July from the Saharan Desert in Africa than from North America,” he explains. Fast forward to June 2016. When the state was looking at purchasing the land for the prison relocation, Perry was approached to study the dust from the Great Salt Lake bed to

The “crust” of the dry lakebed is crucial to keeping the dust down. determine whether or not there were dangerous levels of heavy metals that would pose health risks for the people living and working at the prison. The Utah Division of Facilities, Construction and Management, and the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Fire, Forestry and State Lands provided the initial funding for the study. The state needed the analysis done as quickly as possible, so Perry began to study just the areas around the new prison site. Dr. Perry’s initial findings resulted in the state purchasing the land for the prison site in October 2016. He found no significant immediate health concerns pertaining to heavy metals. Perry emphasized in our interview that the study was funded to look specifically at heavy metals, and not the other health effects that could result from exposure to particulate pollution in general. After the initial study for the prison land purchase was finished, Perry continued to study the rest of the exposed lakebed to identify the portions that are active dust sources and determine if the PM10 mineral dust contains elevated concentrations of potentially dangerous

heavy metals. He also worked with the University’s geography department to determine the elevation of each identified dust hot spot, providing the Utah Department of Natural Resources with information on how fluctuating lake levels may impact future dust episodes.
Image of dust being generated by the outflow from a thunderstorm. This photo was taken on July 30, 2017 just south of Locomotive Springs Wildlife Management Area looking to the west.
And how he did it is pretty cool. From the very beginning, Perry knew that the “crust” of the dry lakebed is crucial to keeping the dust down. In other words, he carefully chose his methods of collecting dust samples. He knew that he had to tread lightly on this fragile surface. So he rigged up a bike instead of using an ATV to minimize the damage. He calls his bike rig the “Ute Dust Devil.” To minimize bias, he decided that he would collect all of the samples himself. He took 122 trips out to the lake, and biked over 2,300 miles during his two-year study, which ended on August 8, 2018. To collect the samples, Perry skimmed the dust off the top centimeter of the lakebed— “this is the stuff that has the potential to blow,” he explained. “I then bring the sample back to the lab and dry it out, because it’s usually pretty wet. After it’s dry, I put it into a sifter to break it up into different sizes. I’m interested in the really small stuff, the stuff that we have the potential to breathe. Then I put it into a

chamber and puff air through it, sucking it through a filter, collecting the particles that are PM10 and smaller.” Perry focuses on PM10 and smaller because it is the dust that, once up in the air, is easily inhaled. He collects the particles and analyzes them using two different techniques. He was able to identify 53 elements that were above

the detection limits.
What’s in the dust? The highest concentration was salt, which isn’t all that surprising considering we’re talking about the Great Salt Lake. But there are other elements in the dust. “Sodium, magnesium, chlorine, calcium and sulfur, for the most part. Aluminum, iron, silicon, titanium—typical elements found in soil.” And what about the heavy metals? “Arsenic and lithium.” Perry’s study essentially ruled out any significant immediate problems with heavy metals. I asked Dr. Perry about mercury, because a lot of people have asked me if there is a lot of mercury in the dust. He explained that mercury is more of a problem in water, and not necessarily the atmosphere. “Particulate mercury is never really abundant in
the atmosphere, more like parts per quadrillion.”
Where is the dust coming from? Perry identified three major sources of dust out on the lake. The largest source is Farmington Bay. It’s also the source closest to the largest population centers. Bear River Bay is another significant source, as well as the area in the northwest corner of the lake. Nine percent of the exposed lakebed produces dust plumes under certain conditions. This is a significant number, in that 91% of the exposed lakebed has a “crust” or vegetation that keeps the dust down during wind events. The part that produces dust plumes has no crust, or the crust is disintegrating and disturbed enough that when the wind blows, it can actually lift it up into the air.
“Two or three years like this one and we’re looking good; well, better,” said Perry, in regard to reducing the lakebed’s dust hot spots. What do we do? It is so important to keep the water rising in the Great Salt Lake, rather than continue to let it drop. Increasing the lake level will reduce the plumes, and this is the good news.
To minimize bias, he decided that he would collect all of the samples himself. He took 122 trips out to the lake, and biked over 2,300 miles during his two-year study, which ended on August 8, 2018. Farmington Bay has the most potential for improving conditions and reducing dust. If the lake came up just about five feet in the Farmington Bay area, 50% of the dust hot spots in that zone would be covered. Roughly a seven-foot increase would cover up about 80% of the dust spots. The great winter we had this year is expected to bring the lake up about three feet. Unfortunately, that isn’t quite good enough to make a difference for dust production. But, Dr. Perry
says, “Two or three years like this one and we’re looking good; well, better.” Diversions will make all of the difference. “We are already diverting more water than what the lake can sustainably handle being removed,” Dr. Perry said. “They pull out the same amount of water, regardless of what type of winter we have had. So during a drought, the same amount is being diverted, even though there is, in some cases, much less going in.” Diverting more water would be

even worse for the lakebed. To maintain long-term health of the lake we need to decrease our consumption by about 29% or we will continue down the 150-year trend of decreasing the lake level by half a foot each year.
Biggest takeaway? I asked Dr. Perry what was the most concerning thing for air quality that he learned from his study. “It’s the fragile nature of the crust that’s out on the lake. Nine percent of the lakebed is blowing, and if that crust is disturbed, that will increase to 22%. It’s so important to protect that crust.” And what’s the most problematic activity? ATV use. “ATV use is just not compatible, it is really a problem.” Dr. Perry continued with a positive lesson learned. The Farmington Bay dust problem can be mitigated. “It doesn’t take
a lot of [lake level] elevation increase to cover up the worst dust source out there. It is a problem that we can really deal with. Mother nature can help us out, but we can certainly tackle the problem with diversions. But the further it decreases, the harder it will be, because it will require even more water. “Bear River Bay isn’t as easy. To mitigate Bear River Bay dust, you really don’t start to see improvements until the lake comes up about seven feet. And a seven-foot increase at Farmington Bay, rather, has an 80% reduction in dust.” At least Dr. Perry’s study shows us that the largest source of dust coming from the Great Salt Lake can be mitigated. This legislative session, a resolution sponsored by Representative Timothy Hawkes brought attention to the issue of addressing the declining lake level. House Concurrent Resolution 10 recognized the importance of continued water flows to the Great Salt Lake and its wetlands, and the need to take a hard look now at solutions to address declining water levels, while appropriately balancing the current and growing need for the water being diverted. It is imperative that the state gets a handle on how to maintain and protect flows into the lake before we hit a point of no return, like the situation with Southern California’s Owens Lake: The water was diverted for use in nearby Los Angeles, and the resulting dry lake is the world’s largest source of dust. Severe duststorms at Owens made even the nearby highway impassable. We don’t want to be faced with a situation where millions, and even billions of dollars are spent trying to mitigate dust that simply doesn’t work. ◆ Ashley Miller, J.D., is the policy director for Breathe Utah.

Conversation is more important than steering the beast BY LOUIS BORGENICHT
T
wo months after I stopped driving, I decided I wanted to be a Lyft driver. I had taken Lyft a number of times and encountered a couple of interesting drivers. The first was an 80-year-old man who had retired but liked to drive, and to fish. He had fished in one of my favorite streams, the Upper Weber, where I had fished for six years. In years past, each of us had caught all manner of trout and a few grayling that had escaped from Sand or Dollar lakes. Another enchanting ride was with a driver who was French. We conversed, and he allowed as how my French accent was per- fect. I wanted to engage him in conversation longer but we had

reached my destination, Foothill Shopping Center, and he had gotten paged by a new customer. •. •. • I’ve been thinking back over the years about cars I have owned. My first car, in the mid-’50s, was a 1947 Willys Jeep with a detachable wooden body. It stood out in the parking lot of Mamaroneck High School and attracted the attention of a couple of girls. One of them became a girlfriend. She had never ridden in a Jeep with a wooden body; in fact, there were likely no other cars like it in all of Westchester County. I was never sure if she was attracted more to my car or to me. During medical school I drove a VW bug which I planned to sell before we left Cleveland in a new Volvo station wagon but the engine froze on an interstate before delivery (I had forgotten to check the oil) and consequently the deal was scotched. The Volvo lasted through my internship in San Francisco and a year on the Wind River Arapahoe Indian Reservation. I was in the Indian Health Service as a general medical officer. Unfortunately, as I was driving across the reservation at dusk one day in a government Chevy I hit a freerange horse. The car sustained significant damage and the horse died, but I was uninjured because I was wearing my seat belt. In 1974 I bought an orange VW Vanagen. Within a week my father, concerned about the well-being of his two young grandsons in the event of a head-on accident, arrived from New York and commissioned a westside foundry to weld a 600-pound tire rack to the frame. From then on, the van rode with a 20-degree forward slant. When we drove cross-country in 1979 it evoked quizzical glances in every state.
In more recent years my wife drove a Prius and I drove a tiny Smart Car, pretending that Salt Lake was “a little bit of Paris.” The Smart Car proved to be a disappointment so when my son leased an all-electric BMW i3, I followed suit; the furthest I ventured from home was to Upper Provo to fish (45 miles). When that lease was up, I switched to a Nissan Leaf. In the first four months, I hit a curb, causing an immediate flat—three times. The third time I also damaged the wheel; the repair cost $680.
The next day she said, “That was a bullshit story, wasn’t it.” I admitted that it was and I knew from then on I had to tell the truth. When the last incident occurred, I was despondent. My wife had been saying for years that I should stop driving. I looked at the tire, called the emergency services, and waited for the tow truck to arrive. I knew my life had to change. I called my wife. “Jody, I am going to stop driving. I had another curb accident and I am done,” I said. I could hear her breathe a sigh of relief—that I had decided to give up driving and that I had told her the truth. A few years earlier I was driving her Prius to a fishing trip near Strawberry Reservoir. I hit the driver side mirror on a construction cone; it hung by a wire. When I got home I said, “You won’t believe what happened. As I was driving, a semi hit a construction cone. It flew into the air and hit the car.” The next day she said, “That was a bullshit story, wasn’t it.” I admitted that it was and I knew from then on I had to tell the truth. The second flat ended my tendency to prevaricate; the third ended my driving career. When I called Nissan, I was told we would be obligated to pay for the full three-year lease. My wife, more forthright, then explained to the dealer that we had to turn the car in because I had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and no longer should drive. •. •. • Thus, we became a one car family. Aside from it being a necessity, it felt environmentally responsible.
I quickly discovered several ways to getting around in the city. On short order I memorized the utilitarian bus routes within walking distance of my house. Utah Transit Authority had done a reasonable job figuring out how to help those of us who are carless. Within a twoblock range I could catch a bus which took me most places I wanted to go. I could find the best route to any destination by entering starting and ending locations on my computer or phone and email myself the bus number, where to catch it and how long it would take to reach my destination. The description also showed me the route and distance to the bus stop. I created a travel folder in my email. Bus drivers were generally genteel and always managed to have the bus stop directly in front of me. I use a Farepass card. Your just show it to the reader as you enter; you add more credit at the UTA website on the Internet. The other day I sat opposite a young man who said to me, “You look like an actor.” He got out his cell phone and showed me picture of Eli Wallach. Off and on, in years past, I’ve been mistaken for Sidney Pollock and, locally, for Tony Caputo. I’ve also serendipitously caught rides home from friends—from The King’s English, the Broadway Theater, a lecture at the University, the Bee, the First Unitarian Church and more. It is a nice way of catching up, having pithy conversations on the fly. I don’t miss driving. But I do think, off and on, of becoming a driver. My wife has considered doing that, too. She says I could be in the passenger seat and be responsible for conversation, which, after all, would be the real reason I long to “drive” for Lyft. ◆ Louis Borgenicht is a retired pediatrician and writer, primarily of letters to the editor. POSTSCRIPT: Last month Lou received in the mail an invitation to apply to drive for Uber, but says he has become, instead, an avid backseat driver.

Building a dream Straw bale construction is happening in Salt Lake City BY CARRIE BLACK
JOHN DEJONG
I
t’s snowing. I have clay plaster in my hair, down my shirt, and up my nose as well as on the bale wall in front of me. Even mixed with hot water, the plaster is turning cold and uncooperative. And my muscles are sending the chemical equivalent of profanity to my frontal lobes for consideration. I ought to be miserable. But I can’t stop smiling. Twenty years ago, Calvin and I decided that we wanted a huge garden with a tiny house. Any green building material would do for the house but straw bale was my preference. Like most people, when I first heard of building with straw I thought of the three little pigs and the big bad wolf. Not a very sturdy material. But while studying plant genetics in college I had a professor with a pet project he just could not shut up about, building earth sheltered greenhouses in the Andes. Wood is hard to come by at those elevations,
quickly grown material to fantasizing about a house made of the same stuff. Landing a half-acre lot 10 minutes from downtown was not exactly part of our plan, but it’s amazing how quickly good dirt and mature fruit trees can change my mind. The 1920s house that came with the dirt was appropriately tiny and as well insulated and functional as one might expect from that era. Our wish list
We decided to retrofit the existing house and add the bales to the outside. This would take longer but use fewer materials. And it wouldn’t require us to move out during construction. but straw is easy. Since I already wanted to live basically buried in plants, it was a tiny step from exploring greenhouses made of easily and
included such luxuries as walls with any amount of insulation in them and windows that didn’t let in cold air. Eventually we were able to create a full-time
mini-farm that produces most of what we eat. The dream had been realized, except for the straw bale house. When we found out that straw bale construction had made it into the international building code, we wondered if we could use that to our advantage. But moving out of our urban farm and starting over new sounded dreadful. Not to mention waste-
With an architect and a contractor chosen, we were better prepared to strong-arm our municipality into letting us build our dream house. Luckily, with these professionals around me, I did not have to be an expert in navigating municipal building codes. With barely detectable levels of guilt, I left all encounters with the city up to AMD and Hedlund Construction. And so it was that May 2018 found us negotiating for a smaller backhoe to come and dig the foundation trenches so that the trees would be less bothered, tying caution tape on every fruiting shrub in the front yard, and teaching the concrete crew how to tell when the cherries are ripe.

ful. How about a retrofit? It would be the first in the valley. Oddities like an architect with straw bale design experience in the Salt Lake Valley are one well-worded search away on the internet. Enter AMD Architecture's Angela Dean who not only answered our strangest questions with aplomb but gave us the best rooster we have ever had. Together we decided that instead of tearing the house down and starting over, we should retrofit the existing house and add the bales to the outside. It was a strategy that would take longer but use fewer materials. And it wouldn’t require us to move out during construction. Once we were settled on a plan, Dean found us a fantastic contractor. Hedlund Construction was more than willing to break new ground with us.
While we happily get on with our normal lives inside (with extra dust), bales are added to the outside of the house. A new foundation to support the bale walls is poured and tied to the old foundation. The roof is extended to make some incredible porch space and protect the new walls. We get new windows that don’t leak and have a U-value considerably superior to that of tissue paper. And I get to call my farm friends and order 200 straw bales. Even schlepping bales in 100 degrees, I am ridiculously happy. Bales, once stacked, require protection from the elements, the bugs and the rodents. Properly constructed bale walls are less likely than stick frame to host invaders—there’s no room for them. Time to plaster!
This summer I’m going to sculpt the third coat of plaster into dragons, stars, trees, lizards, hawks and spiders. I have a useful, but sometimes horrifying habit of learning new skills by taking on huge projects. With a whole house to cover and no experience mixing or applying plaster, of course we’ll do that part of the project ourselves. (For the moderately less insane I recommend taking a class first.) It’s coming out beautifully. I have discovered arm muscles I didn’t know I had and the ability to plaster in near-darkness. We kept much of the irregularities of the stacked bales visible rather than aiming for a perfectly smooth wall. This summer I’m sculpting the third coat of plaster into dragons, stars, trees, lizards, hawks, spiders and anything else that strikes my fancy. (See “Build Naturally blog: Clay plastering straw bales.”) Since construction, our natural gas consumption has dropped by about a third and the house is (almost) infinitely more comfortable. We filled only one 20-yard dumpster. The walls are about R50 now. And the finish on my house is so benign you could eat it. After 20 years we have our huge, productive garden with a tiny straw bale house. José Saramago said, “The wise man contents himself with what he has, until such time as he invents something better.” That time has come. ◆ Carrie Black has a learning fetish, is a chlorophyll junkie, is obsessed with good chocolate and addicted to good company.
What does a project like this cost? Our project cost $130,000 but includes such niceties as bringing a 1920s house up to earthquake code (and then some), fixing the foundation, adding a greenhouse to the west side, and using much larger timbers than necessary for the porches (the only bit of eye candy we indulged in). It's not a great reflection of what a strawbale retrofit would cost if it were the only thing going on. My guess is less than half that amount for just the retrofit, but with old houses it depends on what you find when you open up the walls.

She kept a closely observed journal as source material for a quirky natural history that is also a love letter—one with a wicked sense of humor.

Kirkus Review called her work “nature writing done right.” These days her books are taught by the University of Utah Environmental Humanities program alongside writers like Edward Abbey, Gary Snyder and Terry Tempest Williams.

Despite t h e i r brevity, the e s s a y s sparkle with Meloy’s wit, words faithfully tagging along wherever her whimsical train of thought leads them. Here’s Meloy describing her re-entry into civilization after a season on the river: I cannot exist in Canyon Country unless I take it into myself and discover it on my very breath. All longing converges on a single piece of geography, my red rock desert home. As I’m poised to hack up and eat several ravens with my Swiss Army knife, my friend makes a simple observation. My appetite, he speculates, symbolizes a desire to consume the landscape before I’m
torn away from it. There’s nothing more impressive than a Freudian Navajo. Meloy recommends taking a bird book to the mall since, “if there are neither birds nor books you’ve learned a telling feature of the place.” She believed that the best way to understand a place is by local knowledge, the lay of the land and the stories that describe it. In her adopted desert home Meloy wanted to get along with the neighbors—the wildlife that came into her yard and house, and the local Navajos—but she had less patience for people who want to change the place. “In Utah, God wants you to have a lawn,” she griped, pointing out that the “doomed ecology” of grass is based on principles of overcoming rather than adapting to local conditions. Reading these essays made me long to hear her voice coming out of the radio again. What would she have had to say about the spill of toxic mine waste in her beloved San Juan River? About the creation and destruction of Bears Ears National Monument? Meloy can’t tell us herself, but other writers can. To honor her memory, people who loved her set up the Ellen Meloy Fund for Desert Writers. Meloy’s enduring legacy is to give Utah’s desert a voice. ◆ Amy Brunvand is a poet, a University of Utah librarian and a longtime contributor to CATALYST.

GARDEN LIKE A BOSS
Beyond honey bees A look at some of Utah’s native bees
BY JAMES LOOMIS
B
ees are crucial to almost every meal you eat, and are hands down the most important pollinators in our ecosystem. But the rampant introduction of honey bee hives over the last decade to “save the bees” is the equivalent of introducing massive herds of cattle into Yellowstone park to “save the bison.” Now sure, honey bees are super cute and I must admit I do love honey. Enjoying local seasonal honey has kept me allergy-free my entire
Native bees are at least “two to three times better” at pollination than honey bees. adult life, and my skill at fermenting this nectar into mead has earned me some particularly boisterous accolades. However, when it comes to the garden, it is worth noting that honey bees are livestock, and introducing livestock into any ecosystem must be a carefully planned and managed decision. With the explosion of backyard beekeeping over the last decade, we are running the risk of having a seriously negative impact on our native bee population.
An abundance of natives Utah has one of the most diverse native bee populations in the United States, with well over 900 species. Our wide range of microclimates and unique ecosystem has evolved a vast array of pollinating compadres whose skill and specialization are unparalleled. From massive bumble bees to the almost invisible fairy bees, we are spoiled for diversity. How is it that honey bees have managed to have captured the sole spotlight of bee awareness? How have four species of imported European honey bees been deemed so important? I’m no historian, but I’m willing to wager America’s sugar addiction coupled with agribusiness’ corporate greed has something to do with it. Perhaps most people adore the honey bee for the same
reason preteens adore pop music—it’s pretty much all they know. Well, my fellow Boss Gardeners, let me introduce you to some of my Bee FF’s. Once you get to know our badass native bee buddies, your bee watching will get to the next level. Our native bees do a far better job of pollinating fruits and vegetables than honey bees do. In a four-year USDA-funded study, Mia Park and Eleanor Blitzer of the University of Massachusetts-Amherst found that native bees are at least “two to three times better” at pollination than honey bees. “An individual visit by a native bee is actually worth far more than an individual visit by a honey bee,” says Danforth. Often this is due to the fact that honey bees are ruthlessly efficient with pollen collection, wetting it and packing it for transport. Native bees are often “sloppy” by comparison, dropping, drifting and spreading pollen around; which of course, is a bonus for the flowers in this equation. In addition, familiar garden vegetables such as squash, tomatoes and peppers simply cannot be effectively pollinated by honey bees. I spend a great deal of time in my garden quietly observing the insects who frequent my flowers. It brings me great joy to see a wide diversity of bees and other pollinators dropping by for a visit. As I monitor these tiny insect guests, I judge the health of my pollinator ecosystem by whether I’m seeing more native bees or honey bees visiting my flowers. If I see more natives than honey bees, I know my area’s ecosystem is diverse and healthy. If I see equal amounts, well, that’s ok too, but I’m going to focus on providing more habitat for native bees. If I’m seeing mostly honey bees, then my system is out of balance and major support of native bee habitat is in order. (It is worth noting that to do a meaningful census of bee populations, one must have a diverse array of flowers in a planting, as different species of bees will favor different blossoms).
Apidae Bombus : crop connoiseurs Hands down, my favorite bees to watch are
the bumble bees. Their style of flight is elegantly reckless and endlessly amusing. Of the genus Bombus in the family Apidae, this type of bee is among the most easily recognizable and identified. At an average size of almost an inch long and fuzzily covered with a mass of fine hairs, these bee-hemoths are almost impossible to miss with their distinctive roaring buzz during flight. The signature buzz of the bumble bee is caused by the massive body size in relation to the size of its wings. This allows the bumble bee to do a unique style of pollinating: buzz pollination. While on a flower, the bee intensely vibrates its body, resulting in a literal explosion of pollen. I often ponder whether these furry friends make use of this technique as they cultivate their own next generation. When it comes it solanaceous crops (tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, etc.), no bee pollinates more effectively than the bumbles.
Unlike most native bees, which are solitary, our pals the bumbles live in colonies of dozens of individuals. Bumble bees nest in holes in the ground, often seeking out abandoned rodent dens or other hollow cavities. Each spring, a lone queen emerges after overwintering in her den. Among the first bees to get to work each spring, she gathers pollen before returning to the den to lay her eggs to rebirth the colony, then stays with her eggs to incubate them. Once hatched, this colony will live a single year, producing another queen who will overwinter and repeat the cycle.
To encourage a healthy bumble bee population, minimize soil disturbances in late fall through early spring, as tillage and other disturbances could prove fatal to the lone queen responsible for carrying on the legacy of the colony. Bare patches of soil on east-facing slopes provide ideal habitat for bumble bees, and I often engineer lots of cavities with wood and rock in this slope to provide additional habitat opportunities.
dence. What they have learned, however, is that if you spend the night in a squash flower, guess who shows up first thing in the morning? That’s right, the ladies. Hey there, goooooood morning…… Like bumble bees, since squash bees also nest in the ground it is important to minimize soil disturbance to encourage healthy populations of this native. Tilling your soil is absolutely off the table when it comes to promoting healthy native bee habitat.
Apidae Peponapsis: squash superstars
Osmia Bombus: orchard oracles
My second favorite bee to spot around the garden is the squash bee. Of the genus Peponapsis in the family Apidae, this bee is easy to spot in and around the flowers of its namesake, squash. As squash are native to North America, this bee has evolved the perfect symbiotic companionship with them. Feeding exclusively on the pollen of cucurbits, the squash bee is far and away the most effective pollinator of squash. Sorry, honey bees—you have no game in this arena. Similar in size to the honey bee, they are distinguished by distinct light-colored stripes on their abdomen. If you look closely, you’ll also notice they carry their pollen in “combs” on their back legs rather than “baskets” as honey bees do. The best way to learn to identify them is to regularly check squash flowers, as this is the key place to find them frolicking and getting crunk on squash pollen. This leads me to one of my favorite facts
Another easy bee to identify are the mason bees, who are so phenomenally effective at pollinating fruit and nut trees they are also referred to as orchard bees or orchard mason bees. Of the genus Bombus in the family Osmia, these distinctive metallic blue/green bees make are easy to spot. They are roughly the same size as honey bees, and another distinctive trait is that they carry their pollen in balls on their belly rather than in sacs on their hind legs. While they are one of the hardestworking bees and classed as super pollinators, most are only active in the spring when fruit and nut trees are in bloom. Mason bees nest in holes bored into wood by other insects, and their nests are easy to spot as they plug the ends of their burrows to protect their brood with mud, hence the name “mason” bees. Prowl any wood piles or wood fence posts in your garden for holes, and should you find one capped off with mud, hooray— you’ve found mason bee habitat! Mason bees are one of the few native bees that are easily cultivated and cared for as it is easy to replicate the habitat they seek. There are many commercially made habitats available to support mason bees, or it is also simple to make your own. Come to CATALYST’s 9th Annual Bee Fest: A Celebration of Pollination at Wasatch Community Gardens’ Green Team Farm (622 W. 100 S.), on Saturday, June 15, 9am-2pm (see back cover for more details) and learn how to make your own mason bee habitat! ◆
Tilling your soil is absolutely off the table when it comes to promoting healthy native bee habitat. about squash bees. Like most species of native bee, the squash bee is a solitary insect. The females live in burrows in the soil, often just below the surface near patches of squash. The males, well, they never really take up a resi-

CREATIVITY
Utah Arts Alliance’s Utah artists and volunteers practice recycling/repurposing for art’s sake
D
reams rarely make sense. But frankly, reality doesn’t always make much sense either. The planet’s garbage crisis is just one absurdity of reality that comes to mind. Why should more whimsical things like sliding off a giant toadstool, navigating through a glowy kelp forest, or staring into a starry bathtub be any less a part of our sensical reality than (true stories) a hotel in downtown Salt Lake sending hundreds of perfectly functional TVs straight to the dump because they were remodeling, or perfectly usable paint being shipped out of state to be disposed of when there are artists in our community who could use it? I beg to ask, which should be parts of our reality? And which absurdities should we let fade away in a cloud of amnesia as we rise from our pillows to a brighter day? A recent trip through Dreamscapes, the Utah Arts Alliance’s (UAA) newest pop-up immersive art exhibit in the former home of The Gap in The Gateway Mall, left me with some hopeful reminders that the nightmares of reality can (and need to) be addressed by the delights and desires of our dreams.
BY SOPHIE SILVERSTONE Constructed of 90% upcycled materials, over 100 volunteers and artists created Dreamscapes in under a month. UAA took donations from 3Form, the Salt Palace (which always has
a multitude of abandoned exhibit materials from conventions), Clever Octopus and the Habitat for Humanity ReStore to build out the 14,000foot space where you can “dream with your eyes open.” It was only last summer, while sitting by the goldfish pond at the CATALYST office, that UAA executive director Derek Dyer was dreaming with his eyes open as he recounted his recent trip to Santa Fe, New Mexico, where he visited at House of Eternal Return,
an immersive art experience by the artist collective called Meow Wolf. Meow Wolf’s productions influenced the creation of Dreamscapes. Dreamscapes’ first iteration debuted at UAA’s ILLUMINATE, the two-day light art and creative tech festival in November 2018. This more complete, 14-room version of Dreamscapes opened March 15, 2019, and extended their original closing date. Then UAA announced in the end of May that the exhibit will run indefinitely. UAA has been working with Vestar, the corporation that owns The Gateway Mall, on making the Gateway a vibrant part of Salt Lake’s community. UAA is now working on adding new rooms, performance elements and mixed reality experiences to Dreamscapes, says Dyer. Five to 10 artists in the community will receive grants to build out different parts of the exhibit. The new installations will be staged at the Dreamspace Maker’s Space, a mobile classroom space at the the Arts Hub (UAA offices just behind the Gateway) so the upgrades to the existing Dreamscapes spaces will be as seamless as possible. “We have sold out many dates and people still want to come, so we will stay open with this version of Dreamscapes for the time being,” writes Dyer via email. UAA’s goal is to continue creating spaces like this. This is really just the beginning, from the sounds of it. “I feel more resolved than ever that this is needed and necessary, and to continue to work toward making this a permanent immersive art space in SLC,” says Dyer. The exhibit is loosely based around the storyline of a hero’s journey: Crisis leads to self-inquiry, a transformation, and ultimately victory. The layout begins in a living room scene, the “ordinary world or status quo comfort zone.”
Visitors enter “the unknown or the special world,” with fairytale elements of an enchanted forest, with toadstools and friendly forest creatures–the beginning to a pleasant dream. Upon diving deep into the underwater world, visitors face challenges and temptation (think underwater garden of Eden), a number of psychedelic twists and turns, and at the climax, finally must confront the self in a mirrored maze. The notorious ball-pit room is the celebration at the end of the dream. The words “Dream on” are painted on the wall above the ball pit. A chalkboard wall asks visitors to share their dreams as they exit the dream world and make their way back to reality. The next part is per-
The exhibit is loosely based around the storyline of a hero’s journey: Crisis leads to self-inquiry, a transformation, and ultimately victory. haps the most photographed portion of the exhibit, the white room covered in rainbow stickers by visitors. This part, very similar to Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama’s famous dot-covered Obliteration Room, is where visitors begin to re-enter reality. The rainbow stickers, like little souvenirs from our dreams, are used to color in the canvas of everyday life. On my visit this is where I encounter Jonathan King, the UAA’s events coordinator, who is handing out the rainbow stickers to all who enter. “Make a mess!” He says to a kid who approaches him for some stickers. “You can put them anywhere, but the spot where there isn’t already a sticker is the magic spot,” he says. King tells me the source stories of some of
the elements. The balls in the ball pit? “They’ve been to all kinds of events in SLC, including a Hugh Jackman concert, a NYE party at the Capitol, Jazz games, et cetera,” says King. Some of the walls came from a doTERRA exhibit at the Salt Palace. This project began their “excuse to saying yes to everything,” taking donations of all sorts, and letting artists contribute their work in a very organic way, says King. Apparently during the making of the exhibit, different art projects would spring up quite randomly, little corners being filled in here and there, a dollhouse here, a mural over there. The dream is for visitors, as much as it is for artists, to bring the things they’ve dreamed of into reality. “Dreamscapes is a combination of concepts that include the idea of the creation of dreamlike worlds that people can explore as well as allowing artists to create art of their dreams and connect that with the community,” writes Dyer. Not only was Dreamscapes built with mostly donated materials that otherwise would have gone to waste, they also sourced materials that were already at the landfill. UAA apparently has a great relationship with the Salt Lake County Landfill. King tells me whenever they show up at the dump, the employees greet them with an enthusiastic list of the day’s collections. For over a year, Dyer tells me, the Salt Lake County Landfill has been keeping spray paint by request, to save for UAA to pick up for many
of their events including Mural fest, Urban Arts Festival, and now Dreamscapes. It costs the county around $750 to ship these unused paint barrels to a proper disposal site in Texas–or they could find an artist in town who needs it. This saves the county the shipping expense and simultaneously helps out a local artist. From entire barrels of paint, to hundreds of TV screens, UAA has become a hub for sourcing leftover materials to local artists and organizations. With many sleepless nights, and a frenzy of activity to finish the exhibit, Dreamscape was a passion project for a lot of those involved. Many participating artists were compensated for their work with paint or plastic which UAA had collected. The Salt Palace Convention Center has also been a big source for materials in Dreamscape. Whenever big conventions come to town spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on exhibit materials, the salvageable remains are for Chance Thompson, Sustainability and Public Relations Senior Manager to find a new home for. Many recent exhibit materials have gone into making Dreamscapes. While the next phase of Dreamscapes is already under way, the exhibit that began as a pop-up no longer has a set closing date. UAA’s bigger dream, however, seems to still be in the works. The emerging theme from Dyer and King is that they’d like to replicate the resourcefulness and sustainability aspects that helped create Dreamscapes at a low cost and partner with larger corporate pop-up exhibits. Helping larger pop-up companies source donated, leftover, and reused materials for their exhibits serves the potential for creating more sustainable exhibits, and in cases such as the repurposed paint barrels, saving the county (and taxpayers) money on waste management fees. Given the harsh realities of life, we tend to get distracted by our impediments: “If I only had… [you fill in the blank],”“I don’t know how to do [you fill in the blank],” and of course, “Doing the responsible thing right now seems way less fun than [you get the picture, fill in the ol’ blank with a myriad of things].” Dreamscapes challenges this notion from inside out, daring us all to dream big, and focus on the abundance, rather than the absence, of everything we need and want out of this life. ◆ Sophie Silverstone is CATALYST Magazine’s community outreach director.

FOOD CHAIN
A win for pollinators Citizen action group does end-run around bureaucracy to change pesticide laws BY KATHERINE PIOLI
I
n their nearly 30 years of existence, neonicotinoids have become the most widely used insecticide in the world, with registration in 120 countries. When first developed, neonics were touted as a safer alternative to other insecticides. Bayer, the chemical company that developed these pesticides, claimed that the new neurotoxin attacked only the central nervous system of insects and was much less toxic to birds, mammals and other vertebrates. Today there is mounting evidence against those claims. For a long time, now, it has been widely understood that neonicotinoids are affecting pollinating insects. By 2006, neonicotinoid pesticides were considered to be one factor contributing to Colony Collapse Disorder, killing honey bees and other beneficial pollinators along with the insect pests. More recently, however, we have begun to see that the effect of neonics is going far beyond bees. The chemical is applied to seeds, which, when planted, disperses the chemical some distance into the soil, killing weeds but also contaminating the soil, water and wildflowers. The chemical has a half-life of almost three years. As a systemic, it is absorbed by all parts of the plant, including the pollen, and cannot be washed off. Neonicotinoids are now being found in wild birds of prey, fish, lizards, frogs and even rodents—the latter of interest because neonics were thought to have particularly low toxicity in mammals. This exposure has consequences. A 2017 study showed that feeding imidacloprid, the most commonly used neonicotinoid, to white-crowned sparrows caused them to lose up to a quarter of their body mass. A study by wildlife ecologists at South Dakota State University found deer that consumed water spiked with imidacloprid had pronounced de-
formities including overbites and enlarged heart ventricles —changes that scientists are also seeing in wild populations and are largely attributing to exposure to neonicotinoids. Neonicotinoids are turning up in human food. A 2018 review in Environmental Science and Toxicity found that more than half of the fruits and vegetables served in the U.S. Congress’s cafeteria were contaminated with
In 2013 the Center for Food Safety filed a lawsuit on behalf of conservationists and beekeepers. On May 20, the EPA announced it would pull 12 neonicotinoid pesticides from the market. neonicotinoids. Trying to get neonics out of our agricultural system is an ongoing battle. A few years ago, Maryland became the first state in the country to pass a bill to eliminate consumer use of neonicotinoids. Connecticut has a similar restriction, as do Minnesota and Vermont. Many other states (and individual cities, including Minneapolis, Eugene and Boulder, Colorado), have taken steps to restrict systemic insecticides. Ace Hardware Corporation has been eliminating neonicotinoids from its gardening merchandise over several years. According to the company, over 95% of their insecticide product offerings are neonicotinoid-free and over 97% of the company’s distribution center insecticide sales are from neonicotinoidfree products.
Home Depot has also been eliminating neonics from its plants and products, with only 2% remaining. Those plants are labeled. Costco is phasing out the use of neonicotinoids and the toxic pesticide chlorpyrifos in the fruits and vegetables that it sells. President Obama issued a moratorium on the use of neonics and GMOs at wildlife refuges in 2016. However, two years later, the Trump administration canceled the ban. The Saving America’s Pollinators Act was introduced by Congressman Earl Blumenauer (DOR) to the House in July 2013, and again in March 2015 and again in June 2017. The bill would require the Environmental Protection Agency to suspend the use of specific neonic insecticides until the agency could determine their effects on pollinators and it would require the Interior Department to monitor the health of native bee populations. The bill hasn’t gotten much further than being submitted to the Subcommittee on Biotechnology, Horticulture and Research. However, a major victory occurred late last month (May 20, 2019) when the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it would pull 12 neonicotinoid pesticides from the market—the result of a six-year effort by the Center for Food Safety (CFS) The nonprofit organization filed the lawsuit on behalf of conservationists and beekeepers. “The second half of the settlement will play out in coming years: EPA is required, for the first time, to analyze and address the impacts of the entire neonicotinoid pesticide class on endangered species under the federal Endangered Species Act,” says a spokesperson for CFS. At the end of this year, the European Union will enforce a complete and permanent ban on the outdoor use of the three main neonicotinoids—imidacloprid, clothianidin and thiamethoxam. France will go one step further with a blanket ban on all five neonic pesticides. It will be the most comprehensive legislation restricting neonicotinoids in the world. While these victories are great, in the opinion of one researcher, Christy Morrissey, an ecotoxicologist at the University of Saskatchewan, the problem is not as simple as banning one type of pesticide. According to Morrissey, we have simply become too complacent about using pesticides in general. It’s time to really look at solutions like regenerative agriculture for industrial farming and ditch pesticides altogether. ◆ Katherine Pioli is the associate editor of CATALYST Magazine and an avid gardener.

Celebrate women’s suffrage in Utah
T
he year 2020 will mark the 150th anniversary of Utah being the second U.S. territory to grant all women full voting rights. Wyoming granted women full voting rights the year prior, in 1869, but Utah women exercised their right first since Utah held two elections before Wyoming women had a chance to vote. This makes Utah women the first to vote in this modern nation. (Ironically, women of both states lost their rights when the states entered the Union.) The year 2020 also marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment, granting all U.S.
In 1926, Zitkála-Šá co-founded the National Council of American Indians, which continued to lobby for Native suffrage rights. She served as the council’s president, public speaker, and major fundraiser, until her death in 1938.
women the right to vote. And the 55th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act. If you’re as excited as Better Days 2020 CEO Neylan McBaine about these historic anniversaries, there is a way to convey your enthusiasm. The nonprofit, which is dedicated to popularizing Utah women’s history, has teamed up with the Utah Department of Motor Vehicles to offer a new Women’s Suffrage Recognition license plate for your vehicle.

You’ve seen the little lending libraries. Hopefully you’ve stopped at a few to browse the books available for the taking. Maybe you’ve even helped yourself to one or two. Couldn’t this model be used to provide other things to our com-
munity? Meet the Little Free Pantry. This national movement encourages individuals to erect tiny food pantries in their neighborhood. These pantries could stock after-school snacks for neighborhood kids, keep a supply of those little things you might run over to ask a neighbor for (a tablespoon of cinnamon, a cup of sugar), or provide quick meals for a neighbor in need. These small pantries are not intended to fill the need for a larger community food bank, but to maybe fill in some gaps in the system.

his month, I felt the need to pull more of the “Words of Truth” cards in pairs of two, the first one showing the action and the second one explaining the pattern in more depth, as follows: There is Guidance for the Future. A Sacrifice is required to find Mastery. The disillusionment of a Fantasy Bond will result in Anger. Those who felt the Support they believed was there will feel Abandoned. I see this all as a good thing. However, it will depend on your point of view. The Hermit is asking you to go deep. Only then will he lend insight into the potential challenges that may arise this month. The pot is getting stirred. Movement is happening and it is all part of some Divine Plan. You have a part to play. The dice are in your hand. Take a risk and roll those dice, so that you can enter into a greater game of consciousness and awakened awareness. There is a lot of support from the ancestors this month, as you feel into this vast, mysterious unknown that is gathering momentum. You recognize how much you have changed. Something is very different. And from that place of realization, a certain calm cuts through the distortions and chaos. You may not know where you are going but you know that you are on the move. And somehow, that is enough. It’s time to trust the rebel within. Trust those in the external world who are leaning into previously taboo and untouchable boundaries. Voices are rising up, calling us out of selfish complacency and into affirmative action. To grow, we may have to sacrifice our most cherished beliefs. Mastery is not given; it is earned. In the future, a true guide will have clarity regarding what is essential for the greater good of all. America was to be the North Star that would direct fellow travelers to safety and possibility.

This month our ancestors are calling out to remind us that the sacrifices they made were not in vain and the sacrifices required now will also not be in vain.
Ne x t P r og r am m B eg ins July l 15th th h ®
Trust the rebel within. The best types of compromise come when one comes from a position of respect and self-respect. Rebels feel strong and determined that the choices they make are for something greater than themselves. The rebel that beats in your heart remembers. Your soul remembers. A great world and a great country come from many people choosing to work together, as one, in harmony, to find solutions that work for all. That is who we are and that “fire” is what is arising this month. The weather is getting hot and bothered intentionally to make us uncomfortable enough to rebel against that which is rotten. It’s a month that illuminates much; opens doors that were closed; enables those who refused to hear, to listen; and will make it clear that the people are taking back the power. ◆ See more from Suzanne Wagner at WWW.SUZANNEWAGNER.COM/BLOG/

ZERO WASTE
Jumpstart your office recycling
Clear information goes a long way to enacting a successful program
Y
BY MARY MCINTYRE
ou’ve got a recycling program in your workplace, but it’s got lackluster support. People aren’t certain what item goes where, with trash in the recycling bins and recycling in the trash bins. Some folks are meticulous, others are confused, and some don’t care. Now what do you do? The good news is there are some easy fixes. The bad news? In my experience, there’s no downside, assuming your recycling ambassadors take a gentle approach to encouraging and educating your co-workers. “Recycling Ambassadors…WHAT?!” you might be thinking. Yes, you will need some recycling enthusiasts on your team—every office has them, so don’t worry—but more on that in a moment. Years ago, back in the early days of recycling, I was living in Baltimore, working in the corporate offices of a regional bank. The building owners contracted with a major waste hauler to start a paper recycling program in our building. Overnight, two-foot tall cardboard recycling bins appeared throughout the 20-some-story building. Boxes were strategically placed to recycle all sorts of paper. Clear instructions were written on the boxes of the types of paper that were acceptable and not acceptable. Pretty straightforward, right? Wrong! Some people were confused, others concerned (what if confidential papers ended up in the recycling bins instead of the shredders?), and some were careless. Sometimes trash ended up in the bins. Lots of times recyclable paper got thrown out. I saw an opportunity, at least within my own division on the 15th floor, to educate my colleagues. Yes, I became a self-nominated recycling ambassador! (Are you surprised?) Not only was I thrilled about the new program (I had just moved to Maryland from California, so an office recycling program was the norm for me), I decided to enhance it. My apartment complex recycled aluminum cans, so I decided to informally extend this recycling program to my office. I placed a recycling bin just inside my cubicle and offered aluminum can recycling to my colleagues. Every couple of weeks I would take the cans home and recycle them at my apartment complex. It was easy for me to do, I got to know my colleagues better, and I became a resource for people with questions about our recycling program. Ultimately, I discovered that our workplace recycling problems were less about people not caring and more about people being confused or forgetful. They needed some recycling knowledge and they needed to develop a new habit of recycling. Fast-forward to 2019 and I see friends and colleagues struggling with similar challenges in their own workplaces. Their offices have established recycling programs, the
building managers support it and, if they live in Salt Lake City, there is a city ordinance that requires it. Still, the programs falter. Here are four points to reinvigorate your workplace recycling program without annoying your co-workers: 1. Get people involved: Select a few recycling ambassadors to help cheerlead and to be a resource. Peer pressure can work wonders, done in a light-hearted, encouraging, non-combative way. Rotate your ambassadors quarterly to get even more people involved. 2. Communicate: Re-introduce your program with a simple email announcement via internal message channels. Be clear about what can and can’t be recycled in your message. Identify your recycling ambassadors so that people know where to direct their questions. 3. Educate: On the bins themselves, provide clear signage (pictures and words, because some of us are visual learners) to remind people what goes where. Send out regular reminders and recycling tips. Place bins in key public spaces. For every trash bin, make sure there’s a recycling bin right next to it. 4. Conduct a waste audit: This doesn’t have to be an involved process, nor a dirty one. Take a few days or a week and each day go through the contents of a few trash and recycle bins, ones that get a lot of traffic. Take pictures and share via internal channels to highlight the “good” and the “needs improvement.” Finally, let’s not underestimate the power of habit. Studies have shown that certain habits are more powerful than others: keystone habits. They can have a domino effect, positively impacting other areas of your life. For example, people who make their bed every morning are more productive throughout their day. One simple habit has a proven ripple effect. Recycling could be a keystone habit for you. Imagine the positive impacts on your productivity levels just by dropping that can, plastic bottle or plastic container in the right bin. ◆ Mary McIntyre is the former executive director of the Utah Recycling Alliance, a local nonprofit focused on programs that encourage reuse, recycling and resource conservation.
