Petition momentum picking up!

Our petition grew +30% in the past month, driven by a front page story in the San Francisco Chronicle, an inspiring event hosted by the Sierra Club and word of mouth in the local community. We’re grateful to everyone who has joined our call to action to remove miles of inactive lead cables from Lake Tahoe

This documented support continues to establish strong public consensus for removal - regardless of the precise amount of lead currently leaching out. While there are important historical elements to this situation, our orientation has always been towards the future. This aim continues to resonate with homeowners, residents, people who visit a few times a year, and even those who have never been. Given the potential hashtag#risk to the lake, we’re pushing for a conservative, cautious approach to the long term hashtag#sustainability of Lake Tahoe and its water

If anything, our research during the permitting process has further affirmed the uniqueness of this issue, and the complex path to the current juncture. The simply reality is that no one involved in the decision to lay these lead cables currently operates in a professional capacity. The only finger we are pointing is toward ourselves: we want to execute this project!

Each week that “we” gets bigger and bigger. We’re honored to be engaged with a wide range of partners coming together to deliver this important outcome for the community. We’ve taken tangible steps to prove our ability to do so, and are increasingly excited to push forward.
