Thank you North Tahoe Visitors Authority and Center for hosting two incredible Drone / LASER 4th of July Celebration! One in Incline and one in Tahoe City.
What a wonderful 21st Century way to celebrate July 4th with: 1) NO explosive fireworks to traumatize wildlife, pets and people 2) NO After-smoke hovering over the Lake 3) NO Added expense, since the equipment (from last year) can be re-used (saving $$) 4) NO ‘Landfill level trash”. Yes, that’s right… Incline rogue trash, (not put in a can) was about a waste basket full:) So…Imagine if this ’21st Century’ lead-by-example ‘light-show’ American celebration (showing respect for nature) received as much press as the ‘Tahoe Trash’ article that littered the world with yet another proof point of how we fail to inspire stewardship? Then maybe… just maybe…a more respectful 4th celebration that honors the land, water, wildlife and air – WE ALL SHARE…might one day become as ‘patriotic’ as ‘bombs bursting in air’. And imagine if we brought back “America the Beautiful” as our National Anthem - celebrating what brings us together, vs the bombs/explosions that tear us apart. what do you think? Is it possible?
