Why Can't The Everglades Ever Get A Break?
Just about the time
you think, well maybe things are getting better,
some very disturbing
news just arrived from Audubon of Florida.
In Miami today,
Audubon of Florida will take on the bullies who want to pour
the nastiest, most
polluted, chemical laden water in this state into
the Everglades.
The three worst
farms in the Everglades Habitat area, want to dump their toxic waste into
the pristine waters
of the Everglades and few people even knew this was about to take place.
The phosphorus in
discharged farm water, is by Florida law, required to be reduced by 25%,
but these three
farms are not playing by the rules and neither,
it seems, is the
South Florida Water Management District.
Like the St. John's
Water group, SFWMD may have become too big
and too powerful,
and in ever more increasing fashion, both are
behaving like they
are not only above the law,
but can make or
change the rules at will,
with no
repercussions from the public, or anyone else either.
While some farms are
doing the right thing for all of Florida's waterways,
the ones who cheat
and those people who are supposed to be watching them,
are making it nearly
impossible to ever bring this Paradise known as the Everglades,
back from the brink
of the disastrous onslaught of pollution from chemicals and toxins.
The Everglades
really does need to get a break!
