YOU GONNA DRINK THAT?

WATER QUALITY AND QUANTITY…. IT MATTERS.

Water, water everywhere and nary a drop to drink? Could that be the Sunshine State’s fate one day?

• Florida’s Environmental Regulatory Commission allows more cancer-causing toxins in our water.
• Spring flows are diminshing and pollution is increasing
• Population growth means more demand for water with less supply
• Everglades restoration proceeds at a snail’s pace

• Groundwater continues to be free, with no market forces to allocate it 

        What can we do to save our waters?
