Dear Friends & Family,
The "CATALYST 100" list in the January 2013 issue is the most popular story we've ever published! It showcases 100 Utahns who make us glad we live here. Even when it's cold and the air looks like a bruise.

Enjoy the issue. And see our event picks below for the week ahead.

Up for some polite rabble-rousing?

Inside the summit, lobbyists and state officials will be discussing how to exploit resources like tar sands, oil shale and nuclear power -- sooo last century. Stand up for clean water, unmolested wilderness, clean air and putting the brake on climate change. Bring your friends. Let's envision a clean energy future!

It's a Duck in a Box!
 --by Katherine Pioli

The Aquarium Age: Jan. 9-15
 --by Ralfee Finn
A wiry planetary intensity underscores the first full week of 2013, and as its tinny hum works its way through the routines of daily life, nervous systems are apt to feel strained or unsettled. And because most of the astrology of the week tilts toward excess, many of us are likely to find ourselves making radical or extreme choices.

For others, those fixations could produce strong emotional surges, and whether it's fear or joy that drives the action, power struggles over strong attachments are certain. As you work your way through this astro-drama, remember to keep breathing, deeply, and as you do, be sure to keep one foot in front of the other. A step-by-step approach will be the best way to stay steady...(read more)

Text alerts, videos and more to aid in reducing winter inversion impacts
With winter inversion season in full swing, our city is once again offering us tools and resources to help stay informed about air quality conditions and options to "Drive Less, Drive Smarter" when the haze of air pollution descends.
Through the Care to Clear the Air campaign, you can register to receive air quality text alerts. Text 'cleartheair' to 69302 or visit the campaign website at
www.CareToClearTheAir.org to find out about upcoming poor air quality days so you can plan ahead to drive less. Choose winter-friendly travel options like riding UTA, van/carpooling and teleworking at home or the office.
Additional resources include an informational "Learn to Drive Less" video series featuring helpful videos such as "How to load your bike on the bus" and "How to ride FrontRunner" on the Care to Clear the Air YouTube page at www.youtube.com/cleartheairutah. Other videos include "Resolutions to Clear the Air," which profile individuals in Salt Lake City and beyond who are making a resolution to take public transit, carpool, telework and bike when the air quality is at its worst.
