FLORIDIANS’ CLEAN WATER DECLARATION:

In recognition that:

Clean water is essential for healthy people and a healthy economy. Florida water quality and quantity are inseparably linked. Florida waters are held in public trust

by the State of Florida for the benefit of its people and the maintenance of natural ecosystems. We the undersigned hereby declare:

The people of Florida have an inalienable right to:

1. Clean drinking water whether that water is drawn from public sources or private wells.
2. Safe lakes, streams, springs, rivers, canals and coastal waters for swimming and fishing.
3. Protection from water pollution and its effects.
4. Know the sources of pollution that threaten Florida’s waters.
5. Protection from water privatization and its effects.
6. Abundant water for drinking, fishing and recreation. The people of Florida, the state government, and the industries that benefit from Florida’s natural resources have the responsibility to:

1. Stop pollution at its source rather than allowing it to enter our waters.
2. Protect Florida’s waters, as well as the people who depend on them, from overconsumption and privatization.
3. Protect the natural environment which is critical to the health of Florida's people, wildlife and economy.
4. Provide clean water for future generations. By signing this declaration, we agree to its principles and resolve to work together in good faith to ensure that the future of our waters will be driven by the concepts contained within this FLORIDIANS’ CLEAN WATER DECLARATION.

Join Us for a Day in the Garden: Agroecology, Food Sovereignty, and Community Gardening with the Farmworker Association of Florida

On Saturday, November 19, a small group of us will meet in Apopka to spend a few hours with the Farmworker Association of Florida at their extraordinary community garden. We’ll be learning about a place far different from the typical community garden, where not only is food grown, but lessons of agroecology, food sovereignty, and social justice come together.

After taking in the garden, we will enjoy an authentic Mexican lunch catered by a community member, and learn much from our hosts and the farmworker community members. Those who really want to dig into gardening will be welcome to stay and help with garden chores.

FSC calculated that if water management districts continue to spend limited Springs Funding in this way, it will take 217 years to reach water quality goals for Outstanding Florida Springs, even though the Florida Springs and Aquifer Protection Act requires that those water quality goals be achieved within 20 years.

The Florida Springs Council compiled a detailed look at this year's proposed springs funding.
