NEW DATE, NEW PANELIST ‼️
No, you’re aren’t going crazy. You did see this flyer last week. But there’s been a big update 👀
Mark Shepard, MIDA Board Member and Clearfield City Mayor, has agreed to join our panel! We’re excited to get a better understanding of the proposed Stratos Center from our well rounded group of scientists, community members, and officials involved in the development. Even if you’ve joined one of our previous forums, this one will provide unique answers and perspectives. Don’t miss out!
While the event will be recorded and shared after the event, we highly encourage you to come in person. In-person attendees will have the chance to directly ask our panelists questions, talk to and Grow the Flow volunteers, and pick up data center yard signs. We’ll pull questions from your submissions on the RSVP form, but the best way to get answers is to come and ask them yourself.
Excited to see you on Tuesday, July 14th! RSVP at tinyurl.com/bcstratos or at the link in our bio 🗓️

It’s not just Utahns who will be affected if Great Salt Lake disappears.
Great Salt Lake fuels national security and manufacturing industries, supports the global food supply, and protects vast public and private infrastructure.
It also shapes the climate of the West. Evaporation from the lake generates nearly half of the region’s precipitation—so when the lake shrinks, we lose not only shoreline, but the snowpack and rain that replenish reservoirs, sustain agriculture, and support water supplies across the region.
Each year, roughly 10 million migratory birds depend on Great Salt Lake as they journey to every state in the nation and every country in the Western Hemisphere.
As more of the lakebed is exposed, dust containing arsenic, mercury, lead, and other toxins can be carried thousands of miles by the wind, threatening the health of communities far beyond Utah. Great Salt Lake dust is linked to respiratory and cardiovascular disease, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and premature mortality.
Great Salt Lake is a national asset, and it’s loss will not be felt by Utah alone.
Protecting Great Salt Lake protects America’s economy, food & water supply, public health, and national security.
It is America’s Lake.

Great Salt Lake from above, what a sight 💙
Around the world, there are more than 120 major saline lakes—some of the most famous include the Caspian Sea, the Dead Sea, and, of course, Great Salt Lake.
These lakes represent 44% of the volume and 23% of the area of all lakes on Earth. Among saline lakes, an unfortunate global pattern has emerged; just like Great Salt Lake, nearly every one of these lakes is in decline.
The main contributor to lake decline?
Human activity
Societies around the world commonly divert the water meant to make its way to saline lakes for industry, urban water use, and agricultural support. Creating an unsustainable structure.
The decline of saline lakes are impactful:
🌱Ecological: Habitats and animals depend on saline lakes
😷Health: Toxic dust is released from the dried up lakebed causing respiratory illnesses, lung inflammation, and hypertension.
💵Economic: Saline lakes support fishing, agricultural, and tourism industries.
No community or country has ever restored its dying saline lake.
Let Utah be the first.

Did you know outdoor water use accounts for 96.9% of residential depletions here in the Great Salt Lake basin?
And while most indoor water use is recycled, 91% of outdoor water use is depleted through evapotranspiration, meaning that it doesn’t return to pipes, streams, or groundwater.
Here in Northern Utah, our climate can support trees, parks, gardens, native plants and even green lawns when they are managed correctly and not overwatered.
But too often, we overwater, wasting our limited water resources and reducing the total amount of water available throughout our watershed.
Water conservation isn’t just for drought years, it’s a critical habit Utahns should practice every year.
But after this winter’s record-low snowpack, using water wisely this summer is especially important.
Simple changes can make a big difference! Swipe through to learn how you can reduce your outdoor water use!

"An environmental nuclear bomb."
That’s how scientists are describing the crisis at the Great Salt Lake. With two-thirds of its water already gone, we are just years away from a total food web collapse and a wave of toxic dust pollution.
Jane Clayson Johnson sits down with two people leading the charge to save the lake in this episode of the “Deseret Voices” podcast. Find it on Apple, Spotify and YouTube.
