2020 UT Governor's race: on Environment


Jeff Burningham: Unlock our State Institutional Trust Lands

Utah will realize its full potential when we manage our own lands and allow for responsible multiple use. It's time to strengthen our rural economies and unlock our State Institutional Trust Lands, which were set aside to provide education funding for Utah's school children.

Spencer Cox: Supports new recycled-cardboard paper mill

In the last five years, the use of cardboard has grown by 40% due to the booming e-commerce industry. A paper production company, Crossroads Paper, is looking to change the way Utahns recycle their cardboard. The announcement of the paper mill drew support from recycling organizations and Lt. Governor Spencer Cox.

While traditional paper mills need large quantities of water to operate, the Utah mill's main water source will be groundwater or wells, not rivers or surface water. The location will have its own water treatment site that will clean the water before and after its use.

Spencer Cox said the project had been a "long-time coming." Before speaking at the news conference, Cox said he received a notification via his smartwatch that UPS had just delivered a package to his home. "That's the ecosystem in which we live," he said. "We desperately need this type of innovation."
