Uniting to Protect Tahoe: Highlights from the 2024 Lake Tahoe Summit    Today, leaders, policymakers, environmental advocates and community members met for the 28th annual Lake Tahoe Summit, held at the beautiful Round Hill Pines beach in Zephyr Cove, NV. This year’s theme, “Connecting Tahoe: Investing in Transit, Trails, and Technology for the Future,” brought together voices with a shared commitment to preserving and enhancing the Tahoe Basin.    Key Highlights:   🎤 Keynote Speaker: U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg emphasized the importance of investing in sustainable transportation, clean energy, and cutting-edge technology to protect Tahoe for future generations. We were thrilled to hear about the nearly $8 million investment in hybrid buses to reduce congestion, noise, and pollution.    🤝 Bipartisan Collaboration: Lawmakers from both Nevada and California, including Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (NV), Sen, Jacky Rosen (NV), Rep. John Garamendi (CA), Rep. Kevin Kiley (CA), and Sen. Laphonza Butler (CA), underscored the importance of putting politics aside to focus on protecting this national treasure. Their united message was clear: safeguarding Lake Tahoe requires cooperation and action at every level. 🌿 Environmental Challenges: Experts, including Dr. Sudeep Chandra from the University of Nevada, Reno, highlighted the ongoing challenges of wildfire and aquatic invasive species. The impact of these factors on Tahoe’s ecosystem, especially concerning water clarity and algae growth, was a key topic of discussion.    Our Commitment: As the League to Save Lake Tahoe, we remain deeply committed to our mission to Keep Tahoe Blue. The discussions and insights at today’s summit reinforce the critical need for continued investment in innovative solutions and community action. We look forward to continuing to work alongside elected leaders and our Tahoe partners to ensure the Basin remains a pristine and cherished destination for future generations.    Together, we will Keep Tahoe Blue! 💙    #KeepTahoeBlue #LakeTahoeSummit #EnvironmentalStewardship #Sustainability #BipartisanAction #TransportationInnovation #WildfirePrevention #CommunityAction
