Why does the Mono Lake Committee lead education programs?
• A: Mono Lake has the protection it has today in part because of the grassroots educational efforts on its behalf. We work to broaden understanding and appreciation of Mono Lake and the value of water resources statewide. The health and conservation of our finite watersheds depend on human understanding and appreciation. Mono Lake’s future depends on public recognition and support. Besides Lee Vining, the Committee also works actively in Los Angeles to help young people realize that the water in their tap comes from natural places like Mono Lake, and that conservation and water recycling can preserve the health of Mono Lake and their city’s water.
