Energy Conservation
It is in the best interests of our environment, economy and national security to develop truly renewable energy resources such as solar, and the sooner the better.
Conservation is a cheaper and healthier way for the country to buy time to develop renewable energy sources than the measures that will have to be employed in the development of offshore oil reserves.
Mercury is a toxic pollutant that significantly impacts human health and the environment.
Mercury can enter the food chain and eventually make its way to the dinner table in the form of marine and freshwater fish and shellfish. Mercury is extremely toxic and there is no safe level of exposure for humans. Mercury can cause brain damage, particularly in children under the age of six.
Phosphate Industry
There are two sides to every story. Thus far, the public has only been hearing the industry’s side concerning the safety of phosphate mining in Florida.
Just like the public was mislead on the safety of offshore oil drilling in the Gulf of Mexico, the public is currently being mislead on the safety of phosphate mining. The potential impacts to Floridas environment are catastrophic.
