Quote by Carl Hiaasen

“The central part of the state is more remote and less scenic, and there's a huge agricultural belt that stretches from the south of Lake Okeechobee to the border of Everglades National Park, where the restoration effort is being concentrated, .. Obviously the movement to save the Everglades runs up against agricultural concerns.”

We go from wanting to bolt for the exit to wanting to engage and understand what's going wrong, then fix it.”
