Everglades Illustrated: SB 2508 is still a danger to Florida’s environment

The fight to kill Senate Bill 2508 isn’t over.

We outlined the reasons that this bill is still a danger to Florida’s environment in a recent Clean Water Conversation.

The long-story-short explanation is listed in the graphic above. You can find more information about why we still have major concerns by clicking here.

Though amended to remove some of the most damaging provisions, there is no reason to let our guard down, and we need your help rallying others to help us kill this bill for good.

If you haven’t already, use the button below to send a message to Senate President Wilton Simpson, Senator Ben Albritton, Representative Chris Sprowls, and Representative Josie Tomkow today. If you’ve already done so, please commit to recruiting two others from your circle to do the same. Tell a friend, a family member, or a neighbor that we need their voices now.
