Sustainable Tahoe, is a non-profit joint venture partner with the GuitarFish Festival. Together, we are committed to preserving and protecting the Lake Tahoe watershed, and are looking to help raise awareness for all bodies of water: lakes, streams, rivers, deltas, and oceans. All of which are vital natural resources needed for sustainable life on our planet. A good portion of proceeds from the festival will be donated to Sustainable Tahoe to help further their cause and effort.

Sustainable Tahoe helps facilitate the adoption of stewardship and sustainability by showcasing, cultivating, and connecting models of success, and work with both companies and organizations to profit from environmentally responsible business and activity. We help to incubate a holistic economy where everybody benefits from responsible lifestyles and business.



CHALLENGES: Sustainable Tahoe formed to address three large challenges that threaten the area:

Economy - Outdated tourism model and value system that is no longer attracting new visitors. The lake is at risk from the effects of existing tourism activities.

Environment - Massive restoration investment that lacks education and action to be effective, successful, and sustainable.

Community - Friction and disconnect between local groups creates public confusion, and compromises environmental goals.
