Urge Moratorium on Everglades Development

Target: Florida Governor Charlie Crist
Sponsored by: Care2

Recognizing the environmental importance of the Everglades, the state of Florida is planning to purchase 187,000 acres of land to restore its waterways and estuaries. While this is a huge achievement in the fight for Everglades restoration, the state must go one step further.

Developers continue to submit proposals that would encroach on the Everglades, destroying many of the benefits that restoration promises. The Everglades are the home of hundreds of unique species of plants and animals, including 67 threatened or endangered species. A mere 10 percent of the former wading birds that once inhabited the Everglades still exist today.

Urge Florida Governor Charlie Crist to institute a moratorium on approving new development, mining or other changes in use that could impact the upcoming restoration project!

Take Action! An Introduction..

Hey all!

I'm Tara. This blog has a purpose in life. Actually, it has many purposes. It all depends on which day you check in. =)

This blog will consist of action alerts... Petitions for you to sign to change the world, ways to help people in need without more than a click, and ways to change your life to improve the quality of it.

Truth be told, much of the content I'll feature here won't be written by me. That's probably a good thing as my own writing tends to get a bit cryptic at times. If you're interested in me (for gods know what reason), I've provided a few different ways to contact me at the bottom of this post.

Bookmark this blog! Check in often. There might be a life-saving alternative or cause for you to check in on. As always...Slainte! ;-)
