[GBlist] How green is Provo, Utah?

[William Dinklage <wdinklag@carleton.edu>]

I am considering a job near Provo, Utah, 45 minutes south of Salt Lake 
City, and was wondering if any of you on this list live in that area or 
know of any particularly green people/organizations there or how green the 
culture is generally (in addition to being Mormon--I've figured that out 
already).  The job is an academic job in the geology department at Utah 
Valley State College, and I hope, in addition to teaching the required 
classes, to develop a program of research and elective teaching that 
centers on energy issues and sustainabilty.  My wife and I are also 
interested in setting roots in a community that supports green building and 
sustainable living.  Could Provo be such a place?
