The Everglades provides drinking water for 1 in 3 Floridians, but over the past century, the region’s water supply has become threatened – including by harmful algal blooms fueled by agriculture runoff. Now, the water supply faces saltwater intrusion. buff.ly/I9DHhCW #Florida #EarthDay

While we all are in a tizzy over tariffs, he signed another Exec Order, this one directing massive logging on all federal lands. As if the planet is not hot enough and the flood threats already patently severe. How many days until mid-terms?!?!
