Razing Cane - Sugar is killing the Everglades
While your tax dollars are flowing to the aid of the Everglades, to the tune of 8 billion dollars over the next 20 years, your tax dollars are flowing to the aid of the principle source of the Everglades destruction - the Florida Sugar Industry.
In a not so rare symmetry of federal irony, the Florida Sugar Industry, the principle polluter of the Everglades, will receive 8 billion dollars in federal aid over the same time period.
Friends of the Everglades needs your help to stop this senseless waste of money and resources. Friends supports cutting the sugar subsidies and needs you to tell your congress men and women you do too!
