Opinion: Plastic bag ban or not, it's up to us to do the right thing

The City of South Lake Tahoe imposed a single use, plastic bag ban for grocery stores in the city limits in October of 2013.

During the June 17th City Council meeting, three Council members decided that the ban on all other retail outlets should be postponed and the final vote on that will be during this week's Council meeting.

Opinion: What's up with recycling program in South Lake Tahoe?

Hello!

My name is Keely Kapsoff and after reading an article that was posted up in Incline I realized that I too needed to write a story about my concern with the recycling program in Tahoe.

Well it all started a few years ago when I moved back here and I brought my recyclables into the dump, I did this for many months and realized that every time I gave the guy a bag he would just throw it on top of all the trash. I asked many employees why we don't just have a place to put all the blue bags? All responded that there is a conveyor belt and it sorts it.
