    The shoot was a success, we got on the news and our shoot has been shared hundreds of times. Unfortunatly I doubt that anything will change because no one is willing to do what it take to fix this mess.
    Would love to see and share these photos, can you post a link?

    EVERYTHING IS DYING IN SWFL

    Yeah, I read about the toxic red algae bloom off the Florida coast a while back, saw a really sad video of a manatee suffocating in it and a sympathetic human gave it some fresh water. There’s also the blue algae blooming in the lakes of Florida, and I recently heard on my local news channel that some lakes here in Utah are having a toxic blue algae bloom.
    It’s killing a lot of marine animals, it’s also really stinky, and drives tourists away (which itself might not be bad, LoL).
    Yeah, it’s horrible, and it all stems from the climate warming up.
    I’m fuming but I’ve been feeling so politically helpless. I’m voting blue in November, the biggest thing I can do to hope for better policies to slow climate change, but living in a red state means my vote will probably be useless, but I’ll try anyway.
