Environment

Florida has been known for its clear, sandy-bottomed rivers, streams, lakes, springs, bays and beaches—places of beauty and revitalization that draw visitors from around the globe. Unfortunately, many of the postcard-perfect blue waters that make Florida a tourist mecca are coming up green and choked with nasty, toxic algae. It’s time for Florida to establish limits on the water pollution that threatens families’ health and drinking water. This pollution is poisoning the rivers, lakes and streams that supply the water to kitchen taps. Floridians deserve clean drinking water, not water polluted with sewage, fertilizer and manure runoff.

Adopt-a-Mile is a cooperative partnership between the public/private sector and Pinellas County. It is a program that allows individuals and/or groups* to participate in community involvement through the “adoption” of a one mile section of county road. Participants agree to perform four cleanups a year to remove litter and debris. Road adoptions greatly enhance the appearance of our roads and go a long way to reducing the debris from entering our waterways and polluting the natural habitats of our native wildlife.

Join the Florida Water Coalition in the battle to stop toxic algae blooms in Florida waters. We all know the heartbreak of watching our favorite swimming and fishing holes go from invitingly clear to nauseating green slime. We know about polluted drinking water, which makes no sense in a watery paradise like Florida. It doesn’t have to be this way. This is not the inevitable price of progress – this pollution is preventable. Everyone knows it is cheaper to prevent pollution in the first place than it is to clean it up later.
