Utah, the heavily “red” state where I live, is a huge environmental contrast to California, my former home. There are many ways in which Utah is much more environmentally friendly than California, but I’ll point out one that stood out to me. Utah uses power-saving LED stoplights. They’re all over the place, even in little podunk towns. When we went to visit our relatives in the Los Angeles area, though, I was surprised to discover that they’re still using the old style stoplight bulbs. Utahns care passionately about the environment; they just don’t talk much about it or use the accepted environmentalist phrasebook. Californians are all talk but no action.
