I will admit, when I first heard of the
BP OIL SPILL, I wasn't surprised. The unfolding, however, and the blame shifting involved, I was surprised.
I was even more surprised to learn that BECAUSE of the BP OIL SPILL, our beloved Sunshine State will be taking a HUGE hit. Florida offers hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions of dollars in revenue during the summer vacation season. Although, now having to discontinue Florida's
"Coast is Clear" campaign, it looks like a HUGE percentage of vacationers are canceling their holiday stay!
Florida summers are bleak right now. With billions of dollars out of flow, hundreds of thousands of jobs for those in need and the beauty of the Florida coast and it's inhabitants looking more and more like an episode of
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, we are in need of answers and camaraderie!
Nashville showed their community stripes when dealing with the flooding. Florida AS A STATE needs to do the same. The oil is already encroaching on our shores, with birds, fish and other ocean-life in need, as well as the shores themselves ... find a way to help! Be safe, be open and be the change!
Encourage each other to find a way to help Florida's coast lines.
Until Next Time
