Clean Up The Lake brought organizations and agencies together on Thursday, Oct. 2, for its third Litter Summit, an annual gathering that tackles litter in the Tahoe basin.
“This is a community which relishes in taking care of itself, giving back, and rallying a community to do better,” Jenny Uvira, Clean Up The Lake’s programs manager said. “If the locals aren’t going out of their way to take care of their home, who else going to want to continue on with that?”
In a representative fashion, the all-day event at the Thunderbird Lodge saw no single-use items and used recycled Sailer Jerry tins to hold silverware. Participants brought their own reusable mugs and water bottles.
