Florida Right to Clean Water volunteers collect signatures on island
To the editor:
Several dedicated volunteers from FloridaRightToCleanWater.org enjoyed Easter Sunday at the Calusa Land Trust fundraiser in St. James City. They dedicated their time to gather much-needed petition signatures for the Florida Right to Clean Water statewide citizens initiative. It was a beautiful day and a fun event chock full of enthusiastic Pine Islanders who embraced the proposal to amend Florida’s Constitution to provide Floridians with an “enforceable, fundamental right to clean and healthy waters.” Just about every single eligible Florida voter in attendance was more than happy to sign the petition (and take blank petitions home to get more signed). Volunteers listened while longtime island residents fondly recalled days gone by when crystal clear waters were rich with life. Visit FloridaRightToCleanWater.org to download your personalized petition today to fight to restore our waters to their former glory.
