Solution # 1

Reduce Water Use

​

 

 

It might be a hot minute before the state gets its act together. Bureaucracy moves slower than a gator on a chilly morning.

But Floridians are a resourceful, salty bunch of veterans who

host parties during hurricanes. State recovery plans might help eventually, but the real power is in every Floridian’s backyard.

 

Water is in demand for golf courses, crops, theme parks and all

kinds of stuff. But a whopping 50% of the water pulled from the Floridan Aquifer goes straight to keeping lawns wet and green enough to blind passing airplanes. Fifty percent! If we all dialed

down the sprinklers, swapped some turf for native plants, or just

let our grass embrace its crunchy brown truth now and then,

we could save the aquifer ourselves.

 

Like the true heroes we are.
