OUR MISSION


We promote the conservation and sustainability of our natural resources. We study issues, hold events to educate voters, and support or oppose legislation following League positions.


OUR FOCUS

Support: a comprehensive solid waste plan for Broward County based on zero waste principles, the acquisition, development, and sustainable management of public park lands, greenways, and open spaces, conservation of water and water resource areas, including Everglades Restoration, development and implementation of a regional climate change action plan for SE Florida, protection of our freshwater resources, protection of our air quality, and renewable energy goals for all.

Let's Talk Trash

Broward County is facing a serious crisis when we look at the mounting problem of trash. Every year, we create more than 5 million tons of trash and we don't have many places to put it. The waste is polluting our air, water and bodies and is a significant contributor to climate change.
