About Us
Research
Investigating problems and crafting solutions
Doing the research. Extreme Weather Extreme weather events lead to loss of life and billions of dollars in economic damage. What’s more, scientists predict that global warming could increase the frequency of such events in the future. Our report, "Global Warming and Extreme Weather," shined a light on what could become "the new normal," if we fail to avert the worst effects of global warming.
Education
Educating the public and making our voices heard.
Preserving the Everglades. In 2010, Environment Florida fended off a proposal to build a 21-acre "corporate park" over protected wetlands bordering the Everglades in Broward County. We also helped win federal funding for restoration projects in Picayune Strand and the Tamiami Trail.
