Florida is home to some of the most beautiful natural treasures in America. From our beaches to our National Forests and Parks, enjoying nature and the outdoors is at the center of our way of life and our economy. Clean water and air make Florida an attractive place to live and work. Preserving and improving Florida’s pristine natural resources are essential to our culture.
We must remain committed to finding common sense solutions to support American energy independence, encourage clean energy solutions, and without compromising Florida's environment and water resources.
