Environmental Clean-up: Day 3

'Turkey Point Solutions: A win-win for Dade County and Biscayne Bay'

For over 30 years, FPL has run an industrial power complex at its Turkey Point Nuclear Plant site. FPL's flawed cooling canal system is now polluting groundwater and surface water in Biscayne Bay and beyond.

There has been inconsistent pressure on FPL and regulators to ensure a long-term solution to this unacceptable environmental situation that effectively protects the unique biodiversity and natural resources in Florida.

With your help we will build a case through the additional collection of data to gain a better understanding of the ongoing environmental damage in order to make FPL and regulators accountable.

Summer Symposium 2016: 'Giving Back To The Everglades' Day 3: Everglades Clean-Up August 14th

Join us at the Love the Everglades Movement's 3-day event to learn how you can get involved in Everglades issues, Clean Water, Solar Power, and Anti-Fracking. You'll be inspired by the art, entertainment, presentations, and workshops!
