Florida has fallen and its so sad to see. Everything it was, everything people wanted from Florida it can’t even provide anymore and yet people keep on coming, and taking more from it. Wonderful video with some hope inspired

As a father of a cellist, I love the cello in this soundtrack. Such a beautiful sounding instrument 🙂

The problem is the Charlotte County commissioners will do nothing about water or the building. I've sat in the meetings, they are presented with historical and real time water data every meeting which they ignore. The head is also a large builder in the area so it's not in his interests to slow any type of building in Charlotte County. There needs to be a shake up at the county level before ANYTHING will happen.

And the dirty little secret that no one is talking about along both coast of Florida, is that ALL of the septic treatment plant operations are close to the coast and if you look even closer, you'll find ditches that run adjacent to their sewer facilities, that somehow receives overflow of their "treated" run-off water, that leads to larger ditches and then canals and to the rivers and/or backwater bays, that leads to large harbors and bays, that leads to the Gulf or the Atlantic. The interior of the state operates the same way, which leads to those same ditches and canal systems, that leads to rivers and lakes and so forth, which then ends up again in the Gulf or the Atlantic. And let's not forget about that affluent water leading to run-offs into the Everglades Eco System, which ends up in the saltwater estuaries of the Everglades, through to Florida Bay and out through the Keys and into the Gulf of Mexico. It's almost as bad as what Big Phosphate is doing. Btw, back in Feb 2024, Manatee County's sewer facility in the City of Bradenton was overwhelmed my the amount the sewage from all the new housing developments from Lakewood Ranch. So at midnight on a full moon at the peak of the outgoing hill tide, Manatee County released 1.2 million gallons of raw sewage into the Manatee River, so that it will dump into the mouth of Tampa Bay and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. The story was released in the Bradenton Herald, by a reliable un-named source, but the county brushes it off that it was unintentional. What they didn't forecast was "what goes out with the tide, comes back in with the tide!" And so the tides for several weeks thereafter didn't hide the truth, as foaming bubbles, clearly shown the track of the sewage movement, back and forth with the tides, like someone put dish soap in a clothes washer, as it sloshed in and out of the river for weeks on end! Also, possibly due to this, the greater Tampa Bay area had one of the worst tarpon shows in decades this year. Fact!
