Small Stories Make Big Impacts.
With only 5,000 residents but millions of visitors, sustainability is a more important issue for Moab than you might imagine. Moab is in a desert valley with limited water, surrounded by solid rock cliffs and public lands on all sides. The town is hemmed in.
The millions of visitors impact everything – from fresh water usage to the volume of trash, from fresh food for restaurants to sewage treatment from thousands of hotel rooms.
But for such a small community, Moab’s residents and local government are making big efforts to make Moab more sustainable. From small local businesses running 100% on solar power, to a high-tech sewage treatment plant that cut water use from 2,000,000 gallons per month to 30,000 gallons per month, Moab has been the little community leading the way.
