Environmental Advocates Committee

Join the monthly meeting of the SemDems Environmental Advocates to discuss the latest environmental topics affecting Seminole County. Issues we may talk about include: Why the county and cities do not plant native plants in medians? How has over-development affected our water supplies? We often have presentations and discussions on the state of the environment and what legislation is being proposed.

Florida Needs the Right to Clean and Healthy Waters

It has become clear that the current system of water protection has failed; the state executive branch is not enforcing clean water legislation according to environmental laws, legislative intent and constitutional policy. 

The proof of dysfunction frequently makes national news, with routine harmful algal blooms, fish and wildlife mortality events and public notices of pathogenic or toxic contamination of our waters. It’s not okay. People suffer, wildlife suffers, property values suffer, businesses suffer, communities suffer. Waiting for political solutions in a system that favors pollution industries financing those politics – is a fool’s game. We need a clear, simple, legal solution to restore the necessary checks and balances for such a critical necessity to all lives – water.
