Karma Krew Jupiter Sand Castles

December 6, 2008
Photos from the Karma Krew sand castle sculpture contest.
I personally liked the Leatherback Sea Turtle by Loggerhead MLC volunteers.
This event had many environmental messages on the sculptures, most were asking to help and save the planet in peril.

Greenpeace event this weekend...


Greenpeace event at Carlin Park, Jupiter Florida











Lauren Thorpe is really trying hard to motivate Floridians towards Alternative Energy in Florida.

While her campaign is political specific, she addresses the larger need to fix our Energy crisis with Green Energy sources.

EarthRehab will be at this Greenpeace event, and assist with their aerial art project, it should be fun.-if your going to the beach anyway, stop by for this large format photo shoot.


A Message from the flyer and Lauren Thorpe.
“With just a few weeks until the 2008 elections, we must send a clear message that this November 4th, we will be voting for candidates who will fight for real solutions to global warming like clean, renewable energy. Join hundreds of other climate activists and participate in a powerful aerial art message to the candidates for Congress Tim Mahoney and Tom Rooney– and voters everywhere – we want CLEAN ENERGY NOW!!”

Florida has been a hot spot for Environmental News over the last 30 days. I would like to highlight and link to a few great moments.

June 24, 2008- Governor Crist tells US Sugar to pack their bags and buys back a section of the “River of Grass.”
The Sugar Deal

July 7-11, 2008- To kick off the 11th International Coral Reef Symposium, Governor Charlie Crist signed a bill to close all of the sewage pipes that pump 300 million gallons of untreated sewage into the Atlantic Gulf-stream. Ed Tichenor and Reef Rescue of the Palm Beaches get the hard won victory and credit.
The Sewage Deal
