This is what the world will look like over the next 100 years...if we do nothing. We have no time for business as usual.

No time to waste, no planet B. #ActOnClimate

Costa Rica generates over 98% of its electricity from #renewable sources. They're planning to extend their forests which already cover 50% of the country. That's just the beginning.

We have the solutions. Implement them.

With the imminent breach at Piney Point, we must get answers, take action and hold those responsible accountable. As someone who appreciates the beauty & wonders of our coastal community; I am fearful for the repercussions of this disaster. #PrayForTampaBay #ProtectTheBay

Pine Point Collapse: Toxic water leaking will destroy plant life, food, and a large part of the ecosystem! Who is responsible? Keep asking! #Florida #naturelovers #redtide https://t.co/3oawl9Sfn7

10) “How did Piney Point get to be a threat all over again? Because it was handled the same way we always handle environmental problems in Florida — by putting off dealing with difficult situations until they escalate to the point that we can no longer ignore them.”

[Rep. Anna V. Eskamani, PhD 🔨 @AnnaForFlorida]

“The old Piney Point phosphate plant has threatened Tampa Bay with the prospect of an environmental disaster for decades. Polluted discharges have flowed from the property before.”

This is awful. Please, if you have an evacuation order then evacuate. https://t.co/3kgCiKTf2o

@TB_Times Florida should be paid per gallon of water extracted. Nestle needs to stop depleting our water supply - it isn’t an endless supply as many think.

Companies bottle and sell Florida’s spring water. Should the state get paid? https://t.co/v7Y7NLOGmU

Blue spring run at North Florida’s Gilchrist Blue Springs State Park the state’s newest park. Water temp is 72 degrees year-round. #saveoursprings #naturalwonder To save these springs, reduce water use! No to Nestle pumping springs dry.

[South Florida Water Management District @SFWMD]

Thank you to the City of #Okeechobee (@TOkeechobee) & Mayor Watford for your commitment to conserving Florida's water resources! During their City Council Meeting on March 2, they declared April 2021 “Water Conservation Month” & the week of May 16-22, 2021 “Water Reuse Week.”

I truly believe if Texas beaches had clear blue water people wouldn’t go to Florida

"A leading Lake Okeechobee expert said South #Florida and the Treasure Coast may narrowly escape an onslaught of toxic #algae this summer, but no one’s happy with the fix and there are no guarantees it will work." https://t.co/XyDHP5ll5M via @KMillerWeather

Make the most of today because tomorrow is not promised to anyone.

In 1969, Ohio's Cuyahoga River caught fire for the 13th time, sparking a movement that led to the national Clean Water Act. Today, 95% of CA’s waters are still plagued w/ pollution. #AB377 will put the 'clean' back in the Clean Water Act. #CACleanWaterAct
