The porous limestone beneath much of Florida is both one of its greatest resources and threats. As a natural filter, the limestone allows water to flow through it, removing impurities and creating a continuous source of fresh drinking water for over 10 million people and countless animals that thrive in its unique ecosystem. But porosity also has a downside! As sea level continues to rise, the ability of municipalities to hold back the water through engineering solutions is largely thwarted by this underlying limestone. Sea walls, dikes, and other conventional coastal structures that are common in other parts of the world to mitigate flooding aren’t effective here...because the water will just permeate up through the spongy rock. These and other challenges have made the sunshine state a hotbed for developing outside-the-box solutions to battle global warming and rising seas. As city, county and state government mobilize around such a complex problem, one can’t help but feel the eyes of the world watching....waiting to see what happens.

Every April 22, we are challenged to take a moment out of our busy lives and reflect on our relationship with nature. Today is Earth Day, a day of environmental recognition that began in the early 1970’s around the same time the Clean Air Act (1963) and the Clean Water Act (1972) were enacted into law here in the U.S and the Environmental Protection Agency (1970) was formed. We find that reflecting on the environmental awareness boom and subsequent national policies of the 1970’s is important when examining where we are today, where we want to go, and how we expect to get there. Our collective appetite for tackling environmental challenges seems to ebb and flow depending on what society is dealing with at the time. It feels pretty logical: during an energy crisis, we buckle down, innovate and advocate, but when life is good and comfortable, we tend to disengage. This is a challenge we all struggle with and must acknowledge honestly. But while the push and pull of life may distract you from your commitment to protect the natural world, days like today are a reminder that regardless of the ups and downs, the work must always be done.
