Action Alert Once again your Suncoast Surfrider Chapter has teamed up with the Suncoast Seirra Club in an effort to support our National Organization's stance on NO MORE DRILLING! | |
| Dear Suncoast Chapter Members, Can you believe the Senate's Energy and Natural Resources Committee recently voted to allow drilling as close as 45 miles off Florida's entire Gulf Coast? The good news is that Florida's own Senator Bill Nelson has vowed to fight this decision and ensure that our coasts and economy are protected from the threats of offshore drilling. Just three years ago Congress promised Floridians that we would not see oil rigs off our coasts. Now Congress is threatening to take back their word just to appease Big Oil. Together we can show Congress that we won't let our coasts be sacrificed to Big Oil. Offshore drilling threatens our beaches, our coastal environments, our vital tourism economy, and our very way of life. Thanks for all you do for the environment,Frank Jackalone Sierra Club St. Petersburg, FL P.S. Ask your friends to help out too! Just click here to send a message to your friends and family and ask them to take action too. | |
Many of you may have heard that we have acheived a milestone in the City of St. Petersburg. For the first time - EVER - an ordinance was unanimously voted in to include the ban on sale of fertilizer in the rainy season. The Suncoast Sierra Club has made great strides and the Suncoast Surfrider Chapter is in full support.
Please take the time to emai the City of St Petersburg elected officials and thank them for their valiant effort.
Also, pleas take the time to email Pinellas County Officals that we want the same restrictionsfor the County - only enforceable!
Save Our Waterfront
Many moons ago our chapter voted not to build on the St Pete side of Tampa Bay. We supported an organization entiled POWW. They have continued their work in the form of creating a petition to place a City of St Petersburg Chater Amendment to Ballot this November.
April 2009, the City Council voted unanimously sending the charter to workshop. There they will fine tune the wording.
Please email the City of St Petersburg elected Officals in support of our right to our waterfront poperty and thank them for their decision.
