On May 28th, Miami-Dade County Commissioners will be asked by FPL to approve a hazardous rock-mining project. We are concerned this project will reduce agricultural land, threaten water quality and hamper current Everglades Restoration efforts. We need your voice to be heard!

Clean Water Action has been working with local allies to stop FPL from establishing a new mining operation because of its close proximity to Biscayne Bay and National Park and current concerns of saltwater intrusion into South Florida's drinking water supply.

Last week, the Florida State Legislature passed Senate Bill 360 the so called "Community Renewal Act" which is an attack on communities that want planned growth to protect the quality of life of residents, control costs, and protect public health and the environment.

Senate Bill 360 would allow developers to gobble up sensitive and rural lands by easing restrictions, extending building permits and allowing unchecked development.

Real renewable energy creates thousands more green jobs for Florida families! Your voice is needed to tell Legislators to stop fooling around with our economy and adopt a truly Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS).

Sen. Lee Constantine recently introduced Senate Bill 2490 strongly reflecting the economic and environmental importance of excluding non-renewable nuclear power in an RPS. SB 2490 will require utilities to produce 20% of their electricity with renewable resources such as wind and solar by 2020.

Senate Bill 360 by Senator Mike Bennett threatens to derail smart growth and Florida's future!

This bill would remove critical growth management authority by the state's Department of Community Affairs, eliminate transportation concurrency and Development of Regional Impact review in some communities.

Developer over-speculation and not the regulation of Florida's growth management process contributed to Florida's economic collapse. Now those same developers are trying to use the financial crisis to eliminate oversight and limit public participation.

Florida is vulnerable to the effects of global warming and climate change driven by greenhouse gas emissions. Our leaders must act now to prevent sea level rise and water shortages and other impacts linked to climate change by moving ahead with renewable, sustainable, less water-intensive energy technologies.

Take Action: Tell your Representative that strong legislation is needed to create an investment in renewable energy and protect Florida's environment, health and economy.

Don't let your elected official destroy a deal that protects Florida's economic and water security! The River of Grass Initiative is our only chance to secure necessary land critical to the Everglades and safeguard our water supply. Florida can't afford to pass it up!

Did you know that Lennar Corporation is again seeking a bailout from developer-friendly Miami-Dade County by requesting to move the Urban Development Boundary?

We must tell our Commissioners to say no to building the "Parkland" Development and adding 6,941 homes within 2 miles of Everglades National Park.

You can help protect our economy, community, and the environment from the enormous costs of sprawl by taking action now!

The Florida Department of Community Affairs' (DCA) received thousands of comments from Hold the Line activists and Clean Water Action members and responded by strongly opposing Miami-Dade County's ill advised efforts to develop outside our Urban Development Boundary (UDB).

If County Commissioners do not rescind these amendments, the DCA's objections could cost the county hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal costs.

Let's keep the pressure on! Please tell Miami Dade Commissioners that it is wrong to waste our taxpayer dollars to help private development interests!
