Being an environmentally sound community is one issue that Americans may be beginning to take more seriously. Specifically, Rep. Joeseph Gibbons (Dem) has proposed a bill within the House of Representatives for wastewater treatment facilities. The law would require the treatment plants to meet specific reuse requirements when providing water to businesses that have ocean outfalls. Essentially, this bill makes water treatment plants and their customers more conscious about conserving the water that is treated and recycling it.
The sewage bill is like many other proposed laws across America. It is a call to arms for American citizens to be more environmentally conscious. This is one issue that we need to keep in the front of our minds. Environmental problems will continue to intensify. This is why businesses and homes need to become more efficient. President Obama stressed to voters on his campaign trail the importance of being environmentally conscious.
“We cannot afford more of the same timid politics when the future of our planet is at stake. Pollution is not a someday problem, it is now.”
Even though the sewage bill wont directly affect most of the citizens across the sunshine state, it is another small step that we can all support in the fight to preserve our environment. Along with supporting this particular bill there are many other organizations and foundations for people who feel passionate about sustaining a clean ecosystem. MyFloridaclimate.com and Florida Department of Environmental Protection are forums for environmental activism.
Environmental consciousness is an important part of sustaining a comfortable way of life for generations to come. Supporting Rep. Gibbon’s bill for wastewater reuse is a necessary step in creating a cleaner Florida for everyone. To show support or comment on the Sewage Disposal Facilities bill please visit MyFloridaHouse.gov.
