Ericka Leigh Changing The World

Our Textile Composting experiment addresses climate change by seeking alternative solutions to landfilling unwanted fabric or shipping it overseas; all while uplifting the skill of sewing, which is most often done by women and women of color.

Miami Real Estate Developer Jorge Perez's Shameless Narcissism

Miami and Miami Beach, built on porous limestone or simply mounds of mud dredged from the surrounding sea, low-lying South Florida streets already flood regularly at especially high tides.

 “I believe that in twenty or thirty years, someone is going to find a solution for this.  Besides, by that time I’ll be dead, so what does it matter?” Source

Miami Hero Delaney Reynolds

By age 13, Miami Native Delaney Reynolds had published her third in a series of children’s book about Floridian ecology. But what started as a project to enlighten young people about the beauty of Miami's coastal environment turned into a somber realization about that environment's expiration date. Reynolds’ research led her to learn about “sea level rise,” the harrowing reality that while the levels of our seas have been stable for thousands of years, they've risen about 10 inches in the past century alone. here

81.3% of Floridians

Are concerned about climate change, according to a new 
St. Leo University poll. 
Florida GOP has been reluctant to discuss climate change. Efforts by local governments in South Florida to plan for
 sea-level rise and climate change have drawn national media attention. The study results found that Miami Beach flooding grew significantly after 2006. The increased flooding coincides with accelerated sea level rise. here
Miami Republicans beware, once the Atlantic takes Miami Beach it will be coming after you!
