Letters: Environment hypocrisy

The Utah State Capitol Building.

As I watched the television news story on Wednesday as the crowds descended on the Capitol and the governor's office demanding an immediate resolution to the pollution problem in the valley, I could not help but ponder: How many of those folks walked or rode their bicycles up that steep hill to the Capitol, or did they drive their cars and trucks and park them in the parking lot?

Another way to look at it: The people who went to the Capitol are trying to solve the problem while the letter writer mocks them and does nothing.

We may be stuck for the time being with the transportation system, fuel types and other factors that add to air pollution. But does that mean we should not be looking for good solutions for the future?

If we do nothing, nothing will

Again, to call these individuals hypocrites despite having no evidence who drove alone, or who carpooled or took public transit is counterproductive and presumptive. Why don't we all act instead of pointing fingers?
