#171 - What's the Meaning Behind "Keep Tahoe Blue?" With Jesse Patterson, Chief Strategy Officer of The League to Save Lake Tahoe

Jump on any major highway in the United States and you'll come across a dark blue bumper sticker with the words "Keep Tahoe Blue" adorning many vehicles. The organization behind the slogan is the League to Save Lake Tahoe, which just as its name implies, has been using advocacy, education, and boots on the ground for sixty-plus years to preserve Lake Tahoe's unique majesty.

On the Social Entrepreneurship & Innovation Podcast, we had the pleasure of welcoming the Chief Strategy Officer of this incredible organization: Jesse Patterson.

Jesse talked us through the importance of Lake Tahoe and how the organization has made a tangible impact to protect the inherent value of this natural wonder. In this post, we'll explore exactly how the organization is enacting environmental protection practices that ensure the destination's longevity far into the future.

In our Episode with Jesse we discuss:

What makes Tahoe so blue
The history of Lake Tahoe's development
The biggest environmental challenges Lake Tahoe is facing and how the League to Save Lake Tahoe is addressing them
