Florida's wildlife and Everglades needs immediate national attention to help preserve it. Activists are working around the clock to try and stop the nations largest Fossil Fuel Power Plant from setting up shop right in the middle of this delicate area.
Keep in mind that once is built it will create roadways and construction that will create more sprawl that will add to the destruction of the only place of its kind on the entire planet, The Everglades. We desperately need action and coverage on this issue.
The Palm Beach Environmental Coalition along with the help of Earth First is doing everything it can to radically draw attention to this matter, including getting arrested on the day construction started. Here is the links to their notes and blogs about this important matter. They have all the information on the environmental issues going on in Florida. Get involved, they are everyones wetlands! if you are not radical help support the frontmen by donating to help with the lawyer fees and bonds to make sure these pioneers can keep making progress on the River of Gas in our River of Grass.

As always, the most distressing fact that this particular call for action so clearly illuminates can be found in the sentence containing "...including getting arrested on the day construction started." Fact #1- construction could not/would not have started if our elected officials (County, State of Florida and Federal) had not financially paved the way. WE THE PEOPLE continue to exert insignificant influence on the actual processes that result in doling out funding and permits. To accept this shameful truth is a gross injustice. It lifts ones spirits to know that there really are actual individuals (PBCEC and Earth First for example) who refuse to do so. Peace.
