Guest column: Get involved and Keep Tahoe Blue

Nick McComas, Tahoe Daily Tribune

February 3, 2017

So far in my life, I have been fortunate enough to experience living in what I believe to be two of the most beautiful places in the world. Not only have I lived in beautiful Kailua Kona, Hawaii, but I have also recently discovered a new beauty, Lake Tahoe, and I am lucky enough to call this place home.

Every place has its ups and downs but as a resident of this beautiful place, I would have to ask you to help Keep Tahoe Blue, and keep it beautiful.

The clarity of Lake Tahoe is arguably one of the biggest reasons why people jump on the opportunity to come here. So preserving the clarity and putting pollution to a halt is of utmost importance.
