That's nice of course and to be expected because the church goes to great efforts to keep a positive public image and we should all do our part to conserve. Last year I tore out my park strip and tried to put as much of the yard as I could on drip but this idea and huge media campaign the last 6 months or so about saving the Great Salt Lake and if we don't it will be an ecological disaster is for the most part scare tactics. There is no data to back up these claims because its never happened before, the Great Salt Lake is the result of a natural disaster and the whole Wasatch Front is living on an old lake bed, we have had huge dust storms for years. It also doesn't take into account that both humans and nature adapt to change. There is some historical evidence that it has been this low before but mostly, especially for those of religious belief it leaves out the fact that ultimately all of this and particularly the weather is in God's hands.
