Overview

John Gardner said “The citizen can bring our political and government institutions back to life, make them responsive and accountable, and keep them honest. No one else can.” HEAL Utah is an organization based on citizens support; the majority of Utahns are concerned about Utah being home to so much hazardous waste. EnergySolutions has a voice in this community and on Capitol Hill, and we want to make sure that Utahns have a voice too.
