Rocky pushes green crusade
He predicts SLC will meet goal set by Kyoto Protocol

Attending a conference in Argentina this week, Salt Lake City Mayor Rocky Anderson wore his beliefs around his neck with a lanyard that read: "Yes to Kyoto. No to Bush."

Under the Democratic mayor, Salt Lake City said "yes" in 2002 to the international agreement to cut carbon-dioxide emissions that President Bush rejected because, the White House said, it would harm the economy.

On Thursday, a day after returning from the U.N. climate conference in Buenos Aires, Anderson said local governments have an important role in protecting the environment, especially in the face of Bush’s "irresponsible" policy.
