Can’t make it to the hearing?

You can still take action now! Send an email to the Palm Beach County commissioners urging them to reject this rock mine proposal.

It’s super easy, we’ve drafted an email for you. All you have to do is add your name and click ‘send’ to let the county know why this project is full of red flags:

🚩 It’s a rock mine disguised as a restoration reservoir, with zero treatment infrastructure to clean the water before it’s sent south through the Everglades.

🚩 It threatens the structural integrity and overall effectiveness of the Everglades Reservoir, a critical nearby restoration project designed to reduce toxic coastal discharges.

🚩 It sets a dangerous precedent that opens the door for more rock mines in the area, favoring industry profits over Florida’s clean water and restoration future.

Join us in standing up to Big Sugar and protecting our waters.
