How “green” is your home?
With websites, television shows and propaganda around every corner the pressure to become eco-friendly has risen to an encouraging rate. One can recycle everything from cans and bottles to paper and cardboard; and with convenient curbside pickup and near by drop-off locations there just NO GOOD reason not to!
Now here in Lake Tahoe we all drive around with “Keep Tahoe Blue” stickers and “Keep Truckee Green,” but does everyone actually do their part? Stricter BMP and erosion control efforts have been underway in recent years; which have contributed to a substantial reduction in the pollution of the lake. If we continue to be negligent about our own efforts to recycle & reduce and meanwhile we are in persistently revegging and replanting to prevent sediments from draining into the lake- aren’t we fighting ourselves here?
There are plenty of websites that not only encourage recycling, but can instruct those of us who may find it too difficult or time consuming to fit into our already routine schedules. So take a moment to review and educate yourselves and really contribute to making our environment a beautiful, sustainable place to live!!
