Action Must Be Taken – Start with Ban on Off-Shore Drilling
Almost two months into what has become the nation’s worst oil spill, our government needs to take action. The horrific damage being done to our environment will last for decades. But we can’t wait another day to start to address it.
Were I in Congress, here are just some of the measures for which I would push:
**Ban off-shore drilling in Florida
**Develop alternative clean energy sources
**Create incentives encouraging the expansion of the renewable energy industry
Join Me in Taking Action!
On Saturday, June 26, I’ll join hundreds of other South Floridians on Miami Beach at 5th Street. At noon, we’ll all form a line in the sand, join hands, and show our unity in opposing off-shore drilling in Florida.
Email me at scott@scott-galvin.com if you would like to join my campaign at this event! We’ll even give you a Galvin Campaign t-shirt to wear.
My History of Standing for the Environment
I’ve been involved in environmental causes long before this oil disaster.
In 2007, I initiated the creation of the Arch Creek East Environmental Preserve. My legislation permanently locked down 13-acres of bayfront property as a nature habitat. It can never be developed. We’re working to add additional native plantings and restoring its mangroves.
The Sierra Club of Miami in 2001 awarded me their Environmental Leadership Award for similar legislation protecting the Enchanted Forest Park. In other efforts, I’ve advocated to keep Arch Creek Park open and was a member of the Friends of the Oleta River organization beginning twenty years ago.
I need your help to send me to Washington to continue fighting for our natural resources.
