Lake-friendly living isn't just for those who live along the lake shore. Everyone in the watershed is making decisions on a daily basis that can affect the water quality of the lake. From deciding whether or not to fertilize your lawn, pave your driveway, or what new dishwasher to buy, there are many different ways to live lake-friendly. Living lake-friendly isn't about giving up anything - it is about finding out what works for you. It is about educating yourself so that your decisions and actions will help protect Lake George for years to come.
