Earthjustice: Because the earth needs a good lawyer

It’s Time to Crack Down on Water Pollution in Florida!

Florida’s water pollution is a national disgrace and that requires a national response. Sewage, fertilizer and manure contamination is causing massive algae outbreaks, turning Florida's waters into toxic green slime.

Tell President Obama that Florida’s state plan to clean up water pollution allows more toxic algae-infested waterways and that a federal solution is required. Take action today!
