This Florida News briefing made possible from the sale of Green License Plates and EarthRehab
Florida has been a hot spot for Environmental News over the last 30 days. I would like to highlight and link to a few great moments.
June 24, 2008- Governor Crist tells US Sugar to pack their bags and buys back a section of the “River of Grass.”
The Sugar Deal
July 7-11, 2008- To kick off the 11th International Coral Reef Symposium, Governor Charlie Crist signed a bill to close all of the sewage pipes that pump 300 million gallons of untreated sewage into the Atlantic Gulf-stream. Ed Tichenor and Reef Rescue of the Palm Beaches get the hard won victory and credit.
The Sewage Deal
July 16, 2008- Surfrider Foundation and the City of Lake Worth join in a lawsuit to stop the useless Dredge and Fill projects that suffocate the Reefs.
The Dredge Lawsuit
July 16, 2008- Ciguatera Outbreak, 5 cases reported in Florida. Ciguatera is a disease caused when you eat reef fish that have consumed Harmful Algae Blooms.
The Ciguatera Outbreak
July 17, 2008- EarthJustice files a lawsuit for Clean Water Act enforcement in Florida vs. Harmful Algae Blooms.

Right in my Backyard
Right in My Backyard
Water Restrictions continue to plague my neighborhood; and one thing has got me confused.
I have been studying TMDL and WQMS for some time.
I own a home in North Palm Beach County and I have been told that I will face a higher water bill for water that I do not consume.
Basically the cost is to water down the pollution and sewage that development and bad decisions have created.
Lets face the facts:
We are being surcharged for mistakes.
We are being sanctioned for future profits from agriculture for energy and development.
We owe it to Florida to expose these facts and understand the consequences.
When politicians celebrate Any Energy Decision without understanding the consequence I could get sick, instantly.
When our Ocean Eco-systems cease to operate with efficiency, we will all pay a fatal price.
Protect the Ocean Eco-systems and stop un-necessary polluting today.
