The League to Save Lake Tahoe takes on Plastic Water Bottles
April 29, 2025 | Member Submitted
One of our newest IVCBA members, the League to Save Lake Tahoe (also known as Keep Tahoe Blue), is working on a bill in the Nevada Legislature, SB324 (Scheible), that would limit the sale of single-use plastic water bottles smaller than a gallon on the Nevada side of the Lake Tahoe basin. They have great news that this bill has successfully passed the Senate and is now moving to the Assembly in the Nevada Legislature.
From their data, they have found that plastic bottles are one of the main sources of litter on Tahoe shores. And the plastic water bottle ban in South Lake Tahoe that went into affect exactly one year ago, on Earth Day last year, has already shown tremendous success (see more info here: Plastic water bottle ban shows good results in South Lake Tahoe – CBS Sacramento).
They are asking businesses on the Nevada side of the lake to sign this letter to show their support for this legislation. If you are able to show your support, please fill out this form before Friday, May 2nd.
Feel free to reach out to Hailey Hawkins at the League is you have any questions. Her email is hailey@keeptahoeblue.org.
