00:00:00.595 --> 00:00:03.725
Truckee is a place known for its stunning natural beauty

2
00:00:04.105 --> 00:00:06.205
and endless opportunities for adventure.

3
00:00:06.865 --> 00:00:09.965
But sometimes litter ends up in the environment such

4
00:00:09.965 --> 00:00:12.125
as single use plastic bottles, which are

5
00:00:12.125 --> 00:00:15.005
among the top five types of litter found in the Tahoe basin.

6
00:00:15.425 --> 00:00:17.525
That's why Truckee is taking action

7
00:00:18.485 --> 00:00:21.005
starting April 22nd, 2025.

8
00:00:21.415 --> 00:00:24.685
Earth Day Plain water in single use plastic bottles

9
00:00:24.745 --> 00:00:27.325
and paper cartons under a gallon will not be

10
00:00:27.325 --> 00:00:28.405
sold within Truckee.

11
00:00:28.795 --> 00:00:30.805
This doesn't mean that you can't have a single use

12
00:00:30.805 --> 00:00:31.845
plastic water bottle.

13
00:00:32.275 --> 00:00:34.325
They just won't be sold in Truckee anymore.

14
00:00:34.785 --> 00:00:36.125
You'll still find flavored

15
00:00:36.125 --> 00:00:39.405
and carbonated drinks, water in large containers

16
00:00:39.905 --> 00:00:41.805
and water in other types of packaging.

17
00:00:42.225 --> 00:00:45.565
But reusable bottles are the best way to keep Truckee Green.

18
00:00:46.115 --> 00:00:49.085
Fill up at one of Truckee's local water filling stations

19
00:00:49.505 --> 00:00:52.125
and enjoy some of the highest quality tap water around.
