David R. Keller Environmental Ethics Symposium

Make Some Noise

Calling Attention to the Unseen Environmental Issues of Utah Valley

Many Utahns are unaware of environmental issues that have seemingly no effect on our day-to-day lives. This year the Environmental Ethics Symposium highlights individuals and groups that bring awareness to these unseen challenges. Whether noise pollution or the overlooked impact of low snowpack, these presentations will broaden your knowledge of local issues and inspire you to make some noise.

The symposium is free and open to the public and will be livestreamed and recorded via YouTube Live. For more information, contact us at [email protected]
